But girls in jail without bond have no control over their body or possessions. They can get their cell searched, or thrown in isolation, or transferred any time. Their discovery documents can be thrown in a pile in the day room, and all the girls get into it. And then a girl says I am looking at 50 years, what can I do? And a guard, or another girl tells her just recite what is in those documents, and say Mandi confessed it. Suddenly the prosecution doesn't need a dozen witnesses, just one. Of course it doesn't even look like Kaylee actually read Mandi's report, at least not very diligently. Too many things are wrong. When I told Mandi that Kaylee agreed to testify, Mandi asked me "What did she say?" Mandi's tone was not like if you just drank from a mystery jar and dropped dead. "What was in the jar?!?" It was more like if you took a bite of candy and threw it in the trash. Mandi expressed a sincere puzzled curiosity. "What did it taste like?" Mandi was really puzzled to know what Kaylee could have claimed Mandi told her. Me: You told her you took the party back to Mulrenin's house. But I know you don’t use the word party. Mandi: Yeah, I don’t say party. Me: She said Scott drove you to Dollhouse that night. Mandi: NO. Yada yada yada... Me: She said you signed "fuck you" at the Walmart self checkout. Mandi: Laughter. Me: You told her Mulrenin was a good lick. Mandi: What? Me: Good lick. Mandi: Good what? Me: L-I-C-K. Mandi: What does that mean? Mandi told me stories about Ishnar "Nish-Nosh" Lopez-Ramos, the Kissimmee mommy-killer in jail. She said when Lopez got angry at another inmate, Lopez joked that she was going to get a plastic bag, like she did to her murder victim. Mandi told me this story in a tone of j ealousy. How can Lopez go around threatening to put bags over people’s heads, and nobody claims she confessed? Where Mandi didn't say anything, and everyone is saying Mandi is the one who admitted to it. Do I think Mandi could have told Kaylee that entire nonsense story to humor her, and claim to be an armed robber just like Kaylee? Absolutely not. But I think Mandi could have said "Yes, we robbed him, so now you tell me what you and your boyfriend really did in your case." It's possible. They spent 100’s of hours together, and I think Mandi told Kaylee bits and pieces of things that happened. But the day at the end of their relationship when Kaylee claims Mandi confessed the whole story at once, came after Mandi found out Julie Madara said Mandi confessed, and after Maletta Young said Mandi confessed. And after Mandi told Kaylee the stories the other girls made up. And after Kaylee's lying defense in her own case had reached its dead end. Do you think Mandi didn’t learn to keep her mouth shut after two alleged confessions already? Or do you think Kaylee is the one who learned from the other two girls? If you are thinking about the answer to that question, you IV-32
