And she reminded jurors about testimony related to the other “scenarios” with the undercover operatives, including a fake kidnapping and beating in October 2008 of someone who owed the gang money.
Witnesses said James was not rattled by the kidnapping or apparent injuries of the victim and told the operatives they didn’t go far enough with the man. “When he had gone, Ms. James said that he got off too easy, she did not like his attitude and suggested that she could put raw meat on his crotch and let her dogs eat it off,” Bruce said. “She had never done this before, but believed that her dogs would have lunged at the meat.”
The judge also noted that James had said “she would curl [the victim’s] penis with a curling iron.”
“When asked about her suggestions as to what to do with [the victim,] Ms. James replied that they should cut his knackers off,” Bruce said.
Who thinks they are talking to major criminals and feels they need to - again and again and again, at different times - seem like bad-ass granny that would do stuff like this because they fear bad-ass-bubba in the corner, or could use an extra $233,333?! I could certainly use $233,333... But would I feel pressured to seem like I could do these things in order to get the money knowing I would actually, for real, have to do similar things?!
Let's remember Jean James kept choosing to involve herself with these "criminals" and clearly was not that scared of them on that fact alone. But to go so far as to say she was intimidated by them and so falsified a confession to them?!
As far as Jean getting details wrong in her confession tape...
Would you tell a crime boss you are trying to impress that you threw out the bag of clothes in a random dumpster on the east side? No, you want to sound smarter than that!
Would you tell him that you walked around the house leaving bloody footprints? Or washed the weapon off in the bathroom? No, again, trying to impress him I doubt you want to seem that dumb.
The details she "got wrong"... They only make her seem smarter than she was. Yet, she still outsmart the investigators back in the day.
