Simply amazing...
Ques: If Howard and Anna were going to REALLY get married in two weeks (the day Howard was on the stand), why have the Boat ceremony.
Ans: The boat marriage was a video to show a "a committed couple" with THEIR child. There is an exception to marriage at sea wherein the Captain can file a license AFTER the ceremony. It has to be filed in a timely fashion. I believe that Anna did sign one and thought they were really married. I'm hoping that it is among the papers that were taken.
Why ask Thompson to "be the "BAHAMIAN" father" of Danielynn if Howard was the father?
Ans: He was a true resident. The house deal was going sour and that would mean that Larry and Thompson would become the embattled parties. Howard wouldn't even be considered a party to the DNA case. But that went sour, too. Thompson had a vasectomy. Howard was simply trying to keep himself out of a "perjury" situation. He was VERY careful in court to say that: "I'm the father under Bahama Law". Seidlien trapped him with the question by NOT allowing the "biological" question.
In fact, the judge set several traps for Howard and he fell right into them. The father, the marriage, the insurance, the "do you make money", the apartment, the drugs. I think you will look at Seidlan differently in hindsight 'cause Howard has so 'splaining to do under the penalty of perjury. And that's just the beginning. Howard will be in court for a long time and in Alcatraz for an even longer time. Perhaps he can work on his appeals while he's there and discuss "where the plan went wrong" with Peterson. Peterson can blame in on "the hand of God" because the bodies were never suppose to emerge.
So, I'm waiting for "the Hand of God" in this case. Man becomes an inferior creature when he "goes astray". His mind has to defy his conscience.
