The whole thing stinks to high heaven. I hope those jurors are savvy enough to realize that her statement isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Your post is excellent.
I don’t think Anna’s statement to the police should carry much weight, given her drug use, her problems with memory, and Howard’s brainwashing of her. I wouldn’t call it reliable. I, too, hope that the jurors catch that. I guess that’s why Howard’s trying to backpedal now- show himself the caring, honest, nice, victimised guy he truly is /sarc.
