After listening to the first tape, I became convinced he's guilty and not innocent. Until those tapes, I really couldn't get a good handle on the trial/evidence. When I can't watch and follow a trial daily, it's too difficult to make a grasp all that's being testified to.
I'm thinking as I'm listening to Scott wooing Amber, 'Laci's not been found dead or alive and Scott's totally disconnected from Laci. As if he doesn't know her.'
I heard Mark's Mother and it sounds like they have accepted the situation, and won't fight the charges. It just goes to show these horrible things can happen in the best of families. They are truly heartbroken.
As for Scott. What struck me odd about the conversations revealed today, was he kept referring to Connor as "HER baby".
I don't buy the BS that he even thought for a second she was pregnant by another man. What an absolute insult to her memory.

I don't buy that Scott and Mark went their whole life without family seeing some oddities to suspect mental illness.
I also don't think that they were masters of hidding the mental illness either.
Mental illness is progressive and it outs itself at some point. Usually the in the twenties. Depends on how sick the person is.
I think it would have and will save lives if families would relize who is mentally disabled and educate themselves so that loved ones can live life to their best ability, if Scott has an inability to form lasting relationships then he should accept this and with the other talents he has flourish in those areas.
It is like putting all your energy in to finding cures for a legless man and never expanding what he can do with his arms. What is wrong with accepting one will never be able to for organic or other brain dysfunctioning marry. You don't force pedophiles to work with kids.
Life can be good even if you are not able to fall in the footsteps of those around you.
Hackings friends saw the bafoon in him. Clumsy but laughed at his own short comings yet he felt he needed to suceed in goals that were not attainable. Why didn't his family reconize this early on and let him know what ever he chose to do in life even if it was a sewer inspector they love and support him or tell him they can't deal with it and cut the ties.
I don't mean to inable a mental ill person but someone should clue them in that they need to live life according to their strenghts or their weaknessess will kill them.
