“他什么都知道。”毕晓普案受害人的律师说。
Anderson’s role is one of the most unsettling features of the whole affair, because either he grasped that his wife was dangerous and did nothing or he, too, was oblivious to the warning signs. While it might be tempting, even comforting, to conclude that the family members of a killer would be the first to register tremors of danger, it may actually be the case that those closest to an unstable person have too much invested, emotionally, to take a dispassionate view. Perhaps the closer you are to someone the more blinded you become to what they are capable of. Even after Waneta Hoyt confessed to smothering all five of his children, her husband, Tim, continued to assert that she was innocent. He insisted that Waneta’s confession was coerced even as she was tried, convicted, and sent to prison, and close friends and neighbors of the family agreed—as did Waneta and Tim’s one surviving child, who was adopted.
安德森的存在是整个事件中唯一的变数。或许他注意到了妻子的行为却没有制止,又或者他司空见惯以致没有注意。凶手的家人能够第一时间发现凶手的危险倾向并制止,这固然是令人欣慰的,然而事实上有时候正因为是最亲近的人,所以对那些危险信号视而不见。开篇提到的霍伊特案中,即使在华内塔承认自己杀害婴儿的罪行之后,她的丈夫蒂姆,依然坚持认为他的妻子是无罪的。即使是在华内塔在监狱服刑的期间,他的丈夫蒂姆,依然认定华内塔的认罪是出于强迫。她的挚友和家人同样这样认为,他们还收养了华内塔和蒂姆唯一幸存孩子。
