I’m thinking a chocolate milk shake would mask the “bitterness” of a load of ground-up methadone tablets.
I think we were mostly thinking of Cokes being in those drink cups (and the jurors may be thinking that, too, unfortunately) and that thin, watery cola drinks probably wouldn’t mask the taste or consistency.
OTOH, there wouldn’t be much of a chance of a milk shake still being a milk shake at 5:30AM, left from the night before. Oh, wait, I guess it could have been from 1AM or whenever the last proven food run was.
(I still haven’t figured out the two-trip-story nurse not showing up to testify - and more importantly, why the guy who checked the surveillance video didn’t watch it past that time! He was even asked on the stand and said it wasn’t he who checked it after that. And no one questioned him further! As in, “well, who did?”)
P.S. - It really looks to me like Munroe has gotten to a number of witnesses.
I think tea or lemonade was the “presciption” Howard fed Danny. I wish they would ask the nurse who drew Anna’s blood at 5:30 if Danny was drinking anything while she was in the room. I don’t believe he was in her bed at the time...but a few minutes later...he was...and sound asleep. Very clever Howard!!
