Yesterday I wrote about the 48 Hours episode that aired this past weekend: “Wounded by Love“. Now, you tell me what you think…

Did you catch 48 Hours this weekend? They profiled the story of Caryn Kelly and Phillip Peatross in Orlando, Florida. Kelly tells of how she accidentally shot Peatross by accident. Peatross died of his injuries.
There were so many inconsistencies in Kelly’s story, it is shocking that she was able to walk out of a courtroom a free woman. You don’t need me to point out a lot of the inconsistencies. They were obvious as a hall light in a dark house. I could write a book on all of her inconsistencies there were so many of them.
I’ll share one of them that jumped out at me in a big way. It was when Roberts asked Kelly when she awoke to an unknown person in her house, “Did you say ‘Who is this?’ Did you shout?”
“Yeah, basically I said, ‘Don’t come near me’ whoever it was, before I could see him in the doorway,” Kelley replied.
I found that absolutely ridiculous and laughable.
Who tells an unknown intruder in your house “Don’t come near me” ANNOUNCING WHERE THEY ARE IN A DARK HOUSE? Hey, I’m right here. Hear that? Yep, that’s me.
That was absolute B.S. if I ever heard it. We can be pretty confident not even the fundamental element of who was where when is accurate. I certainly don’t believe it.
I hate to admit it, but I did not trust one word out of Kelly’s mouth. Not one.
Did you catch the one and only time Kelly showed true emotion? It was when she was left court a free woman. She never showed an ounce of care for Peatross–nothing! When she “tried” to cry over him, she basically laid out the classic high pitched (fake) whine.
I completely concur with Dr. G, the police and investigators on this case. That had it right from day one, but Kelly’s defense attorney planted enough doubt or the prosecutor didn’t prove the case.
Watch Stacey talk to the media. What do you see?
You see a mom whose emotions are odd when she talks about her little girl being murdered. People have written to me multiple times wondering how a mother could be so light-hearted as she is in this video. Stacey, the mom, even laughs at one point. I think this is an excellent video for the study of honesty.
We might flag Stacey on these behaviors, if we didn’t know the truth. And to flag her is okay, but one must not rush to judgement. I always say we must have three solid red flags or even more before we judge anyone, and here we only have two.
If we didn’t know the outcome as we do here, what could explain this behavior?
If we plug in shock and disbelief–that the truth hasn’t sunk in–it makes sense–that the mother hasn’t processed the situation at all. She may also be having trouble grasping the situation for a variety of reasons.
Police say her little girl, Hailey, was found shot to death in the perpetrator’s home.
Did you read the latest news? Reeva texted Oscar: “I’m scared of you sometimes and how you snap at me and how you will act towards me.”
She also texted the week before her murder: “I can’t be attacked by outsiders for dating you, and by you.”
I didn’t believe Oscar Pistorius from day one when he released his statement to the media. It clearly told us what the truth was then when we analyzed it. Now, with the trial, we get the facts to support what we saw.
Fascinating, isn’t it? And yet so very tragic.
