After reading Jeffrey's post, I viewed the story differently. Jeffrey spoke of how the baby was killed to cut ties to Thebedi. I never even thought of this. After considering this, it made me wonder. Did he want to cut ties because he knew the relationship wouldn't work out, or because he simply couldn't handle the scrutiny he received from others? Either way, after reading Jeffrey's post, my viewing on the story changed.
