I can only plead earwax...
I find it interesting that she called her "driver" from Duke Hospital at 7:00 a.m. to ask him to go pick up her kids from her parents. Why didn't she have her boyfriend do that? Of if her boyfriend really did come to get her at the hospital, why didn't she just plan that the two of them would drive over to her parents to pick up the kids (which was probably what happened anyway)?
I wonder now if she was trying to avoid having the boyfriend learn about the incident and finally in the early morning hours realized nobody was else was going to help her and she had to finally get her boyfriend involved.
Recall that during the press conference in which Cheshire discussed the 2nd DNA test results, he said something to the effect that the defense would not divulge the name of the "boyfriend" who was the DNA match because "that individual has made no accusations against these boys."
I thought that was a rather strange reason to offer for not naming the boyfriend. Perhaps it was a warning shot across the boyfriend's bow that if he comes forward and starts supporting Crystal's false accusations, he can expect some unwelcome publicity to be shined under the rock he lives under.
I can imagine the the "local" lawyers have enough contacts from their pro bono work or otherwise to know just about everything there is to know about the AV and her associates.
Who else do criminal lawyers work with for the most part besides criminals.... duH......
If her kids were at her parents house and dad is retired, what was the big deal about checking on the kids at 2:00AM and then again at 7:00AM... If she called her "driver" to go pick up her kids why couldn't she just call her folks and check on them herself? Who would have someone "that doesn't know her that well" go pick up her kids. What was he going to do with them? And what was anyone going to do at 2:00AM if they drove by "to check the young uns"?
