Hi kc! Oh dearie me, do I have to get into that again?LOL! Right now I’m exhausted, having 2 hours of sleep and spending the whole day with daugher and hubby at the college she’s going to in the fall, and my legs are killing me.... I am way outta shape. Some of us had an exchange on one of the previous threads about this, and you can find those posts of mine pretty easily. I can’t defend Howard making the clown tape, but oddly, even though when I first saw it I did say “Oh my!”, it just didn’t hit me as sourly as it did everybody else. Most everyone else agrees with your assessment and could not, for the life of them, understand why I didn’t feel as strongly about it. One thing I did say was that I was not 100% certain ANS was as drugged up in that video as others believe she was. If you can’t find my posts, ( not sure I would bother if I were you), I’ll FReepmail you sometime tomorrow or the next day.
I remember your saying that maybe Anna wasn’t as drugged up as she appeared, but only acting. I only saw a moment from the clown video so I didn’t form a strong opinion. But you raised a doubt in my mind. I appreciated your taking another perspective because we cybersleuths should examine this case from every angle.
I disagree with your view of Howard, though, in the end. You know what turned me for good? His depriving Anna of talking to her mom after Daniel died. There’s no doubt in my mind that an unstable woman like Anna could only gain comfort from one person after giving birth to one child and losing the other. Her mother. All would be forgiven. Anna needed to be held like a baby in order to contain her grief. It seems she transferred that need to KE.
As a follow up to that evidence was the highly believable testimony on t.v. of those two black nannies. They both stated that Howard wouldn’t pick Anna up after she fell. Or would do such a cruel thing as to offer one finger. Their testimony convinced me that Howard was/is a real Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde.
