Well, here’s what I think. As most “stories” go, they morph into more or less than what really happened. Going to the back of the building is a big problem with me, as most people would have left the area to make their move, let alone throwing her out of the car and leaving her where she worked and could get help, or even her boyfriend finding her. So obviously, the other workers in the restaurant saw her leaving with him, they walked out at the same time, she is choked to the point that she has black, blue and purple neck bruises and she says, “no one would believe her”. Ridiculous! So I think, she was a willing participant which is why they were in the back of the restaurant parking lot, and now she can elaborate her story to being assaulted and getting some bucks. Although, the jewelry, especially rings doesn’t look to me like she is financially needy.
She’s a lawyer and it may be she has been promised a political position. Not everybody needs cash...
