"Your speculation is that she could. Your proof is what?"
You should try taking a course in logic. I need offer no proof of any such thing because I did not assert anything as truth. I merely said that there are some unanswered questions based on the facts which are available at this time.
See, if I said that I knew what happened with certainty, then that would require me to offer proof. If I say that there are unanswered questions based on the facts, then that means I am saying that we don't really know yet exactly what happened. You, on the other hand, are the one stating with certainty and taking offense that everyone doesn't agrree with you.
Many people on this thread and other places are finding odd and contrary behavior in these events. Once the behavior is explained then it makes more sense. Until then, there will naturally be speculations about all sorts of things.
