“Why would you run and hide from something that isnt true? I would think if I was innocent I would stay put professing my innocence.”
You say that now, but the truth is in a small town – and you and I BOTH being from Laurel, Miss. – you know how you can be run out of a place, even if you are innocent. You said you’d stay behind, well, that’s easier said than done.
Furthermore, as someone already stated, it hasn’t been proven. Everyone wants in on the gossip because hey, what else do you have to do in a small town? Did you ever think that perhaps some kid was just angry with her and wanted revenge? Did you ever think the reason she left was because perhaps she was already getting a divorce or other marital problems requiring a break? Or did you ever think the parents of the boy might just want to be able to sue the school system for improper conduct on their premises? Oh, probably not because those would be too plausible.
I’m not saying that it is or isn’t true, but I think for those of you that are speaking of how you’re also from Laurel (despite knowing what a great person she was) and those that brought up church, should feel ashamed for automatically assuming something that well, quite frankly, you just aren’t qualified to do. Unless you are with the investigation or picked to be one of the jurors IF it goes to trial, then I suggest you worry about your own life and keeping that in order.
*Oh, and I can’t wait to read the backlash from that as I’m sure there will be some*
Really quite sad actually. Some things never change.
