Another thing she said was "When you have a baby, you spend all your money on babies. They’re expensive."
That seems like an odd thing for a grieving mother to say.
Makes me wonder if she is the same Sherry West from the Philadelphia "house of horrors" abortion clinic case. She does kinda resemble her.
Initially when I heard the story on a radio show I took the mother's story at face value and was outraged at the young perpetrators for such senseless violence against a little helpless baby. Then when the radio host played the mother's interview on the air, even though I didn't visually see her body language, the way she described the incident, the tone of voice and her manner of crying gave me pause and in the back of my mind I said, "This sounded like Susan Smith all over again!" Sure enough, when I see the Youtube interview of her posted in this thread, it definitely reminded me of Susan Smith.
I know it's too early at this point to say for sure she or her accomplish was involved and people may grief differently when faced with such immense tragedy, but it is also true that people who have something to hide will unknowingly give out subtle body language and tone of voice that could be immediately pick up by the inner radar of other people.
Our subconscious human mind cannot be voluntarily controlled or suppressed. The more we try to suppress the true feeling, the more awakward the appearance would be and will come to suface in the involuntary expressions of the muscles of the face, the eyes, the vocal cord and the body movement.
At this point, I am more concerned of the violation of the rights of all the black teenagers in that town that fit the so general of a description given by this woman. I'm very concerned that the two youngsters could be so easily arrested based sorely on merely fitting the general description and identification by the woman.
If the police wished to use pictures of black teenagers for her to identify, they should at least start first with using pictures of teenagers who have solid alibi, such as juveniles who were in custody at that time, so that if she picked any of the two, the police would know she was either mistaken or she was making a false identification. That would at the very least tell them that she is not dependable in that regard.
Another thing the police should do is to go to the crime scene where she said the shooting occurred and look for blood splatter and blood trails leading from there to where she said she went to the yard of a house to give CPR.
Also, the police should look for the spent cartridge and the bullet that should hit the ground given the shot was fired downward at the baby's face while he was in the stroller. At the downward angle the bullet should exit the baby's head and hit the ground thus making a fresh dent in the ground near where the stroller was.
It's hard for me to believe the shooter would miss the adult head and her big body but was square on in hitting the baby to the face after the struggle with trying to snatch her purse and shooting at her. Why would she endanger herself and her baby by hanging on to her purse?
There are a lot of questions I can't help but to wonder out loud. Obviously, there are many on the internet that had already jumped on the two arrested teenagers and calling for their execution. But, I just want to caution the people to hold their horses because there are still many unanswered questions .... and a general description that fit just about any black teenagers does not a guilty made.
