As far as which I find more suspicious?

Hmm... the perfectly legal and common action of blocking caller ID? Or illegally hacking into someone else's voicemail? Yeah, that's a tough one.

But you of course miss the point.

You are willing to believe the most innocuous explanation when it comes to an ex-boyfriend with no alibi illegally hacking into his missing ex-girlfriend's voicemail, but refuse to accept or acknowledge anything less than nefarious motives for Avery when he blocked caller ID while calling her.

There is a clear bias on display, and it's laughable that you accuse others of lacking in critical thought.


Actually no it is interesting you say it was her ex boyfriend. I didn't know that and it would make me more critical of him.

But it's out of left field. When I talk about critical thinking it's what I'm pointing out (and probably why the judge didn't let them introduce this.....let me guess you think the judge is framing him too right?)

I'm pointing out that that's not how critical thinking works. You don't just guess and throw out any wild theory you can think of.

The reason they weren't allowed to accuse other people is that you need a motive, means etc.

What motive does the ex boyfriend have in killing her. Not...well maybe...... what actual motive?

What motive do the other people have? What means? The only one who even comes close to this is Bobby and he's got no motive.

So it's not just pitching a fit and throwing everything possible out there. I see this kind of problem a lot when evaluating argumentative writing skills in my clients. Many times they just throw idea after idea after idea at the reader without explaining a line of thought all the way through.

That is a lack of critical thinking sills.
