I'm sure at the request of the police, just like they're still telling them not to release it.
Another thought, was the sketch done so the Smart's can say they "cooperated" with Klaas so the negative publicity stops? Why is the sketch artist on a gag order?--Can't say whether a pix was done and what it looks like if she made one.
Ed Smart had the sketch done because LE has not let the Smart family know who the kidnapper is and Ed Smart has methodically gone out on his own for the last 2 weeks to solve this crime, like smoking out Newhouse with his phony email story last week and the letter story earlier. She made a sketch, believe me.
ED was asked some pointed questions which he avoided. He wouldn't discuss the sketch at all, but said the police are handling it..Also, he didn't make eye contact..
Ed doesn't know what LE is doing on this case and whether to believe them or not but there is no reason for him to go against their plan by talking about the sketch because LE does not want it released and does not want to have to explain to the public why. Ed is in the precarious position of going around LE to try to get to the bottom of this without upsetting them.
This is interesting, Sherlock, do you knnow this for certain...or are you just assuming it?
Sherlock...He is in the position of being under the Law.He is definately acting ABOVE the law, and you seem to find no fault with that. Why? Don't you think that he is hindering the Law by taking matter's into his hands? I do.
You said.."without upsetting them". Do you think that the PD and FBI are pleased with this behaviour? Can you think of any case where the layman over rode the Law, and took it to the media to do it?
And it is yet to be determined if that email debacle was swift or not.
