ABC wouldn’t be able to tape it without her consent. I doubt they did. They have said the producer took detailed notes. I don’t always believe ABC, but in this case I’m not so sure. Consider two mothers:
Mother A: I didn’t say that.
ABC: Yes you did.
Mother A: Prove it.
Mother B’s attorney: (Hey, ABC, is there a tape?)
ABC: (No)
Mother B: I didn’t say that.
ABC: Yes you did.
Mother B: Prove it.
Which mother is more believable? Which one sounds like she is trying to recover from saying something stupid to a reporter?
ABC wouldn’t be able to tape it without her consent.
If you don’t want to be misquoted, don’t give a statement.
I can almost hear ABC salivating for a suit and their chance at discovery on every aspect of this woman’s life.
Not everybody has an entire news media running around trying to clean up their statements.
The call was made at 5:45am. Those who went to sleep before the midnight movie screening/shooting did not know the “news”
Reporter: “do you have a son named James Holmes in Aurora?”
“You’ve got the right one”
Was she woken up by the reporter or had she been “racked with pain” over what happened all night long?
It seems to be taking her response out of context. Meanwhile, others in his circle may have been prior informed.
You can bet the ranch they have a tape of the conversation. 100% sure. If it cooberated their story they would risk the backlash and release it. Almost all taped conversations are legal as long as one party is aware of it.
