Let's say that you are interrogating two people in a murder. Suspect one has told his story 11 different times. Never deviated from the story, not a single detail. Suspect number two has also told his story 11 times. The main idea of the story stays the same, but little details change. Who's the liar?
Suspect One.
Here's why. A person who is scared, hurt, or otherwise under duress is going to have lapses in short term memory. Fear is going to lead them to rush through a story, leaving things out, that they might remember during later tellings. The liar is never going to deviate, because there is no emotion in the lie. Much like reading a script, a person lying is going to say the same exact thing every time. Purposely and thoughtfully not going off track.
Also, I thought the baby was injured on Wednesday and passed on Thursday? Why would Tuesday matter? And no, no one here is surprised that no one has been arrested yet. I think we all know how long it takes to truly nail down an arrest. Can't go around locking people up all willy-nilly and then losing them on a technicality. Damn laws. Lastly, both mom and bf deserve what's coming to them.
