When you read about the underhanded way in which the investigation had been conducted,i.e. shoes taken from the bedroom along with the accompanying phrase " you didn't see those ",doesn't exactly give you confidence in anything else that went on,and because AE was the curious one in all of this,why hadn't she questioned the said remark ? It amounts to mistrust with most of them involved with that case. They all made sure that what they had fitted their own agenda.
