if she's suing the city, it doesn't make a lot of sense for her to offer up that info now. if the narrative about her texting turns out not to be true she could let the prosecutors claims to the media be speculated upon by the public even longer to prove defamation/damage to her reputation thus increasing any potential payout by the city.
if the lawsuit reaches trial then we'll know what was communicated over text and to who.
Hmmm, I guess.
I like the line of thinking but I can't get jiggy with it.
If thats their reasoning, the prosection can make a case that she is damaging her own reputation by not being forward about the allegations in the media and public.
It isn't their fault that when asked a straight forward question about an important part of the case, that calls in to question her character...Ms.Hood and her lawyers chose NOT answer.
Also, if there are people out there in her city that believe she txt her son to bring the gun. It keeps her and her son in danger of retaliation.
If they just put that claim to rest... Now it just looks like the son saw his mother in an altercation and did what he had to.
Like anyone else
