It's kind of like letting your child walk around Times Square in New York City at two in the morning.

No parent would ever do that.

But they seem to do this on cruise ships because they mistakenly believe cruise ships are safer than they really are.

Right.

Or maybe, Nancy, he was sort of invoking his Fifth Amendment privilege and refused to speak.

So I kind of hope that is what happened and that he decided he was not going to cooperate with the FBI and not speak until he had a lawyer.

And maybe this was an opportunity to create a gap in time.

Why would he do that?

Doesn't he want to find out who killed Anna, his sister?

He also doesn't want to be wrongfully convicted.

So perhaps he was doing the right thing until he had a chance to speak to a lawyer.

Why not say what happened?

That assumes he saw something.

Maybe he didn't.

And I do want to give this kid the presumption of innocence.

I know there is strong indications that he may not be, but he does deserve this presumption, and he does deserve to have counsel.

Well, of course he does, Spencer.

And he does deserve to invoke the fifth.
