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...
Police found a manuscript she had been working on about a scientist who accidently killed her brother and was trying to be a success at being a scientist to atone for the killing of her brother.
