Oh yeah. Her lawyer is going to be sobbing when they get a copy of this transcript.
As I thought, she didn’t ask about the arson charge because she knows she did it. No (attempted) murder charge so I hope that means the dog chimera wasn’t in there when they burned the house down.
What ‘dog’? Are we talking about Fido, or a chimera with canine features? õ_o
Chimera
What did that dog ever do to youuuu
Mutate during the Weirding and didn’t have the “good sense” KTS. Also, Kate’s egg donor is a monster. I bet she was monstrous BEFORE Kate transformed, she was just better at hiding it.
I posit that instead of “egg donor” we borrow from John Grisham’s “The Client” and call her Kate’s “ex-Mother”. It’s a bit more biting, I think.
Speaking of Arson, it WOULD be funny if Life/ Life’s handed out lemons at some point.
Honestly, she has always seemed like an Internet-Karen Character with a history that pushed her viewpoint to an extreme to me. This would mean that, before the Weirding, she could be abrasive but often not bad enough that it caused anyone trouble. She likely got upset at Supermarkets & Restaurants in an embarrassing manner, but never directly harmed anyone.
Then the Weirding happened, and her daughter was turned. Suddenly she had an “Other” in her family and she couldn’t handle it. Especially since it didn’t occur in a normal manner, like her sibling marrying someone of a different ethnicity, that, at least, she might have been able to accept. Her husband leaving her over the actions she took (worded specifically because she aggressively rejects the thought that her actions could have been in the wrong), and her argument “Other people did it too, so I wasn’t wrong!” had her stew and cemented in the thought in her head that her daughter was killed and a monster pretending to be her took her place. Which led to an obsessive “us vs them” mentality that directly led to acts of extremism and terrorism.
Basically, before the Weirding, I don’t think that she was a monster. An obnoxious douche that nobody liked serving and may have been racist enough to scowl at people of different ethnic groups, sure, but that’s just wild guessing.

“I confess – I’m stupid.”
Wonder who will sit in the doghouse now!?
Pyro would be proud
To the answer the question of “is it illegal to record you without telling you”, it depends on the state, some states have it so you have to consent to being recorded, others say it’s okay in public spaces, some have no restrictions
Of course, none of this applies to the police WHILE IN THE INTERROGATION ROOM
in fact iirc in most states its pretty much required that they observe and record you in the interrogation room, in order to ensure that the officers aren’t violating the law with illegal intimidation, abuse, etc., as well as to ensure that the detainee doesn’t inflict harm on themselves, etc. recordings make it easier to prove or disprove accusations of officer misconduct.
usually the complicated bits of the law are about when and how much of those recordings can be submitted as evidence in a trial. though usually confessions to crimes are submittable unless they were coerced. which is not the case here.
This will probably be negotiated in the pre-trial process. The defense attorney will attempt to motion that this recording cannot be brought into the court proceedings.
They likely won’t be successful. She was probably reminded, on record, that she was being monitored and recorded. She wasn’t coerced into saying that outloud. She has no expectation of privacy while being detained. Her stupidity and sense of entitlement aren’t shields.
It’s one of many reasons to STFU. Lips do not part. Especially without a lawyer, and the confidentiality that comes with being with your council.
Look they might be successful, depending on the mountains of other evidence, if not contesting it won’t really change the outcome and will save time for the government.
All police interrogation rooms are recorded. So are the jails, prisons, etc. When you are in custody you have no right to privacy – except for when you are with your lawyer. That’s why they read you Miranda when they pick you up.
Holy cow! She’s trying to live up the theme song for DRAGNET! “Dum, dum-dum-dum. Dum-dum-dum-DUMB!”
Another entry for an episode of World’s dumbest criminals
I have sat on a grand jury and I have to tell you that this is the ever-loving truth.
Criminals are stupid – painfully stupid. If they were smart, they wouldn’t BE criminals, because in every case brought in front of us, they could have made more money and avoided jail completely with less work, if they’d NOT been a criminal.
