    With bad handwriting and spelling, anyone else think it all a setup by the kid? Who conveniently and innocently finds the insurance policy?

    Harry could have been crying tears of joy at first, thinking he was finally going to be a winner.

    Why else would the paper disparage the dead rabbit as lazy and not write about a tragic a racing accident? I’ll tell you why. They didn’t know Harry is dead yet.

    Mom knows junior has done murder, but obviously not perfectly given that crap suicide note which voids the policy, gets kiddo convicted, or both. She has a choice: continue to be poor, now as a single mother with a kid in juvy for Murder 1 and attempted insurance fraud. She knows social services will be all over her ass for the rest of her days.

    Or she can get a carpet and make sure the body isn’t found until the heat is off and no one can pin the crime on her kid. What’s done is done. And she deserves a break. Its not wrong if its already done and she deserves a break, right?

    I think mom chose option 2.
