sandude, in order to find what has been stated as at least possible, I would have to go through the same torturous mental gymnastics that you have gone through in order to rationalize it. As I said before, I have found MK's story implausible right from the start. Until I hear explanations that satisfy my doubts, I am perfectly content to continue questioning her story. You and others, on the other hand, seem to feel the need to come up with various "possibilities" and "explanations" in order to MAKE her story sound plausible.
For the life of me, I cannot understand why some people seem to feel that MK's story must be protected at all costs.
It is our institutions that need protection. The Smarts should be given the benefit of a presumption of innocence. Law Enforcement should be looked upon as purveyors of truth. While we know that LE could be misleading the public in order to catch a criminal it is also possible that all we have been told is true.
