I’m pretty sure that Seidlin asked Howard if he made any attempt to get her off the drugs. I’m pretty sure that Howard said “she was in control”. So if she was going to shoot herself in the head, he would have loaded the gun for her because she said so??
That's how i remember it too. He's such a friggin liar. She was definitely not in control. He was controlling her via the drugs. Kept her away from friends and family. A virtual hostage. A virtual vegetable almost with the drugs. He tried to kill her baby when she was pregnant. This man is a sick sick person. And he's got custody (illegally albeit) of a baby. Why isn't this the most important issue on the table right now?
