Question M

[Jonetta]

Courtney reveals that she became pregnant by Dustin (her other two children were Troy’s) during the time when Troy was away a lot. Their ménage arrangement prohibited them from being alone with one another. Troy became incensed and sent her to stay with her mother in Virginia. She miscarried the child and Dustin showed up with the abducted baby and then blackmailed her and Troy into keeping silent. Do you believe her account? What do you think should happen to her? Sam refused to offer her a deal…can she get away with that?

[Robin]

Courtney is just as guilty and Dustin and Troy. She knew that Josh was the kidnapped baby, but kept her mouth shut so no one would find out about their ménage arrangement. I wouldn't have offered her a deal either.

[Jonetta]

They are all morally bankrupt, especially her as she should have imagined what Taylor’s mother was going through. Courtney is selfish and complicit. And, I don’t believe she didn’t know Troy was abusing Josh. This woman turned a blind eye whenever it suited her. Lock both of them up for life. They ruined a lot of lives, including their own kids.

[Lauren]

Of course, she was complicit. She knowingly raised a child whose origins were suspect and stood by and let her husband abuse him. I agree with Jonetta that she should be locked up.

[Sharon]

I agree.
