Exactly. The mom didn't look the least be surprised when the texts were being read. This were me, my mom would just be staring daggers at me the whole time like "You dumb fuck. You drag me into this, lie to me and you're this stupid?!". Meanwhile her mom is just kind of chilling and smirking.

I was literally just thinking that. And if not, she learned that whole lying and scamming thing from mom.

[@JamieM470]

@@Fribee83 Yeah, all that chilling and smirking bothered me too. The defendant AND her mom are not ashamed of what she did at all. They're only annoyed the scam didn't work. I'm betting mom started coaching her after this, on how to scam successfully and not get caught. Tree. Apple.

and i dont believe that the check was found because nobody walks around with signed checks with no other information on it , i believe the check was stolen from the person and then the plaintiff or her mother forged the stolen check . it was straight up theft and check fraud !

[@mkm6783]

Once I heard the “you didn’t call in your card yet?” part, I knew for sure that the plaintiff was in on it. She knew that there was fraudulent activity going on. I believe she did it with the expectation of splitting the money.

I knew someone that allowed people to deposit fake checks into their account. When they reported their card stolen, the bank made them get a police report, which led to them getting a felony.

The defendant's testimony directly contradicts Curt's intro reading of her defense regarding who found the check.

After the case, when asked " Do you think you're better than her?" She has the nerve to say yes. What a joke. You can tell that the brother is on the sqme wave length as the sister and mom by his demeaner and answer. In the end, all teens try something at sometime or other. Mother was probably calm because she already gave her daughter an earfull many times before the case.
