Shamelessly filched from another forum - Feldman's defense of Madelyn Gorman:

"Feldman here. Two reasonable interpretations. We have doubts. The mother lovingly, lovingly walks her child across the parking lot, holding her hand to protect her.

The mother helps her child into the car. She glances around to make sure that no one is around in case they were followed since we know that many muggings occur in mall parking lots. A baby was snatched from a parking lot just recently. Two reasonable interpretations.

There is no evidence, none, on the tape that shows physical contact between the mother and the girl. During this time of year there are many insects which could have come into the vehicle...this vehicle had large doors. While the tape does show the mother swatting and swinging, this was a desparate attempt to keep a stinging insect away from the girl. Two reasonable interpretations.

The mother was successful in finally getting the insect from the vehicle. Again, the tape never shows any contact between the mother and the girl. It does show her trying to keep stinging insects from her face and body. Two reasonable interpetations."
