She claims that the poses of my two friends (whom she claims are strangers) beside me are planned and matching while I simply inserted myself into the picture as a cover. However, if one examines the picture closely one would see that my friends are clearly at ease with my closeness and not exhibiting the customary wariness of strangers. If my hands were behind their backs to hide the evidence, wouldn't one of them be nervous about having gun behind their head? My arm around each back suggests camaraderie, even friendship, not imposition. Also, if the suspect in her alleged case were actually heading towards the Brooklyn Bridge for an escape, they would not head towards South Street Seaport, which is not actually near the entrance to the bridge. Furthermore, I suspect the crime never even took place, as I cannot verify the existence of a “Best Western Seaport Inn hotel” much less a mention of a robbery. Angela’s delusional ramblings make too much of a simple day in the city with friends.
