Question J

[Jonetta]

Leanne King refused to cooperate with the team, delivering only the barest minimum of information. Was that the right thing for her to do as a protection officer or did she take it too far?

[Lisa - (Aussie Girl)]

Maybe she followed the protocols to the letter, she seemed a cold sort of person and a stickler for the rules. I'm not sure the procedure between the Witness Protection Unit and the general Police. Witnesses being murdered would seem a pretty good reason for liason between the two areas and if they had worked together the case probably would have been solved more quickly.

[Sharon]

I have to agree with Kim, police need to work together when murder is involved. I understand the initial caution, but once there was a second murder, Leanne needed to open up more.

[Robin]

Leanne needed to start talking to Kim and giving as much information as she was allowed. Sitting there with her mouth shut wasn't helping the case at all.

[Lynn]

I thought she was protecting herself as much as her witnesses.

[Jonetta]

You all make great points. Leanne sacrificed her life for her clients so I’m conflicted about her behavior. However! She didn’t need to be so obstinate and uncooperative about it when there were opportunities to share.

[Lauren]

Leanne's behavior and actions were abhorrent. Her refusal to help even after being given leave to by her superiors was directly responsible for the third and fourth victims. There was no excuse.
