Sounds more like an innocent kid worried about how skipping work on that night would make her look, and therefore getting tangled up in a web under intense pressure. Am almost convinced of the innocence in this case.
A key reason for the tens of thousands of wrongful convictions in the US every year (verified by studies) is that the age old fundamental precept of “beyond reasonable doubt” is not applied. The “he/she’s got to be guilty” has convicted myriads of innocents each year, and that goes against everything that conservatism stands for. It’s one of the worst phenomena of modern liberalism.
The assumption on this forum that this woman is innocent - and the unwillingness to even consider the evidence against her and her boyfriend - is really strange.
Ann Coulter had it right years ago when she wrote twice about how the evidence against these two people is damning:
