People make all kinds of moral choices to assuage themselves of the guilt that they might be feeling. What was in his head? I don't know. I can tell you the one thing that was in his head was to hire a criminal attorney and get to the courthouse first, because this is a classic example of first squeal gets the deal.

And look, I mean, I mean, here is the absolute worst thing that Rob Lamone did. If you believe her story and Jonathan's story, they both are claiming that it was Rob Lamone's idea that his wife sort of partake in this sort of, you know, party sex atmosphere.

Thank you. Brandy Guthrie, thank you so much for that. That's one of my favorite lines in Dateline. Yeah, David did not flip on Bathsheba.
