“Elkins, who is being tried with his accomplice, Dominque Lang, 15, claims that Santiago’s mother and father put out a contract on their son in order to get insurance money.”
And
“Elkins wasn’t arrested at the crime scene, but West [the mother] did pick him out of a photo line-up.”
So, we’re supposed to believe that after putting out a contract on her son, the mother identified the killer which would mean she didn’t expect him to reveal the contract. Possible, if she’s crazy and stupid, but not likely.
Precisely. People who haven't been fingered, don't pick their accomplices out of a lineup. Not even a stupid perp would do that.
If there was a serious amount of insurance put on the baby, the police would have raised some eyebrows. If there were any at all, I'm guessing it was a small whole-life policy that some people get to ensure coverage later in life. As a baby, my grandparents put on on me. I cashed it out in my mid-20s, when I purchased a much ore substantial policy.
Even if all the perp says is true he shot the baby.
And I aint buying anything he says. Shoot him.
