I think I read this past week her Mother was serving on the Personnel Board for the Town of Braintree MA. Probably gave her some favors by the police department IF she had any or perceived power by those or could have been the money & rich influence. I don’t understand how a Mother could “choose” between her children when one murdered the other and protect the murderer.
I agree totally (as you can see - I am the mother of 2).... But I have heard people say things like “well - he did kill their mother but if he went to prison his children would lose both parents”.... so I can see a parent thinking “if she is convicted, I’ll have no children left”...twisted thinking I agree... but stranger things have happened. I cannot imagine the strain of keeping the truth inside for all these years - think of what her mother thought when she starting having children, when she reached each goal in her career - I imagine she would have to reflect on the fact that without her (possible) silence/cover-up Amy could not be where she is today...
