Maybe the family is looking to control the movie when it comes out, so some a$$hole like you does not change the story and claim that Elizabeth ran away with a child molester while chaining herself to a tree for two months.
Go play in traffic.
Correct me if I'm wrong here, but couldn't (and wouldn't) the Smarts rightfully sue the pants off of anyone who did a TV movie about them without their consent?
That argument doesn't hold water.
Considering the thousands of childrens that go missing every year, shouldn't there also, then, by your reasoning, be nothing on TV but TV-movies about missing children?
Fine, go back to name-calling those of us who dare question the Smart's "wonderful story". Not a single one of us has said we wish anything but the best for Elizabeth, but...well, if you want to draw comparisons to the Simpson jury, I'm afraid that it appears YOU guys are the ones with your heads buried in the sand on this one.
Flame away. Not like we're not used to it from you guys. I hope you enjoy the TV-movie of this "wonderful story" when it comes out. ;-)
