Didn't understand the 'crayon' controversy.


Kelly is doubted after the 'crayon revealing', why was this even a doubt issue?

How in the world does a crayon's damage compare to the damage by a grown man's penis?? Doctors & specialists can't tell the difference?
Was it just to cast doubt? So much for specialists eh?

"Didn't he discover America?"

My best guess (and this is just taking a shot in the dark here) is that the the defense was making a very veiled attempt to discredit Kelly.

Money isn't the root of all evil. Love of money is.

Yeah that was my thought too that they were trying to point to a history of lying about things and that if there was an expanded rectum then it was due to her putting an object in her however why would a child do that. Then later when Chrissie is on the stand she mentions going in the bathroom and seeing that Kelly had put a crayon in her rectum and could not get out and the attorney brings out the other one and says like this one again to discredit Kelly as lying.

I also do not understand why Kelly made those 2 statements to her sister and her friend at school that she was going to fix her father, that she had a plan. I assumed she meant telling what happened to her but the way she told them she made it seem like to them that she was trying to get back at him for punishing her.
