I'm not sure she realized what she said; it was at a part of the interview where she was really upset.

I would like to add this: in all the crimes/trials I've watched, that woman is the ONLY parent I've seen who is behaving in a way that I think I would if it were my child (except for the part about making him tell the truth.)

I'd be hysterical!

She just looks shell-shocked. No matter what; I do feel for her.

She's hysterical because now she is starting to believe her son and hubby might be guilty and her world has just gone turned to crap. Her interview today compared to her very first interview is like watching a person dissintigrate.

i totally agree. i have great sympathy for her.

I'd probably be catatonic or hysterical in so many of the crime cases covered on TV - how do people hold themselves together? I don't "know her story," but the Mrs. does seem authentic in her shock, confusion and grief over her son and husband's involvement.
