2. Jennie may not have known he was doing this. Depends on how crowded the room was.

3. She finally met up with him and said WTF are you doing get back out there to the car, asshole.

4. He goes back out and there and is busted by MPD.

5. Jennie ambles up all WTF--and then is scrambling to cover DH's ass.

They are going to turn on each other and have separate counsel by the preliminary hearing on the 18th. (Which won't happen on that date anyway as counsel will ask for and receive a continuance.)

Except the security camera shows them both getting out of the car after arriving a few minutes earlier.

I feel sorry for all of them, specially the kids.

unlikely b/c they had the phones set up tp be on a call - so he clearly had to take her phone to turn it on and dial his number and then leave hers in the car. i doubt she would go in alone without her phone... so, they are both fully aware and complicit.

Agree that your theory is unlikely, also because when she came to the car, she asked "What is the problem?" If DH and I agreed that we'd take turns, and I had not known my DH was not in the car with the kids I would have been a lot less composed.

Can someone post the link to the police report. I couldn't find it.

Also just reported that Christophe was charged last year with a misdemeanor (later dismissed) for pushing an empty stroller into a car that he claimed was turning when it was his turn to walk. Hmmmm. Anger issues? Who knows??

Exactly right PP. Cameras show the car parking at 3:38. Both parents get out at 3:44 together, no children. At no point does anyone approach the car until after police arrive at 4:36. At 4:41, father comes out.

Remember when MPD questioned him he said: "I was watching them" and then reached in and pulled out the phone with the open call on it. He was probably talking to DW who was inside the tasting and then he (or they both) decided, eh, fuck it they're asleep, I'm going in. Wrong choice, dude.

Good parents can make mistakes sometimes. Perhaps these people only meant to leave the kids in the car for a few minutes, got caught up in the party and forgot about them. It happens.

And people who get so crazed about other people's parenting errors are often terrible parents in other ways, so "he who is without sin..."

I'd never leave a kid in a car in this weather though.... Now that is pretty stupid.

I'd like to be charitable to these parents, though. It seems they are being judged very harshly. Everyone makes stupid mistakes, even very smart people.

Wow, that's such an original comment. No one in 39 pages of posting came up with that before you!

No, someone came up with "tiger mom" about 20 pages ago.

I agree the above numbered scenario is extremely unlikely. That said, the police report says the Volvo dropped off a passenger at 3:38, then parked and the driver exited at 3:44.
