In truth - Scott told Brocchini that they wouldn't need the counseling if Laci came home. What a snake!
Yes... I agree, I read it again today and that is a statement made by a man that has no idea where his wife is... no one is that good... not one lie.
I know Jack.....over and over and over again - he talked to them....and what he told them never changed. Everything he told them checked out to be true - even when they thought he must be lying.
I was disgusted when one of the MPD interviewees in the Deadly Game said he lied even when he didn't have to. B.S. I couldn't care less that he lied to Amber Frey. Although I think he should have told the truth about Amber to the police that first night - I totally understand why he didn't - and can't say that I wouldn't have done the same thing Scott did. It's not easy to admit to having an affair.
Lsmith, I think the lying when no need to lie refers to Scott telling family members and friends on Jan 11 that he was somewhere that he obviously was not. A lot of people make a big deal of "he even lied to his mother."
One explanation for those lies is he believed his calls were being taped by the media -- and I think it was pretty well admitted by the undercover agents following him that he would not have known they were undercover, and logically he assumed they were media. So, once he knows the "media" are following him, he would not want to trust the privacy of phone conversations -- and his parents phones would also be likely targets for any illegal interception.
But I think that there might be something more at stake here. Two of the people he "lied" to were Mike and Heather Richardson. At this time, they are supposed to be best friends, but we know that at least Heather Richardson publicly acknowledge that she seriously questioned Scott's innocence. Maybe he sensed that, and he didn't want to tell them where he was or to tell anyone else that may end of telling them.
Same might be true to Guy Miligi - Scott may just simply have not known who he could still trust at that point. Even though people were publicly saying they still supported him, he may have picked up on undercurrents of suspicion. If he told these friends where he was, and the media found him again, he might always wonder if these friends had anything to do with it.
The other non-family person he talked to was Rob Weaver, his employee. Same premise as above, he simply may not have trusted Weaver enough to confide his whereabouts.
But, if the lying was inconsequential (he didn't need to), why did they make such a big deal of it?
