SLE-117: Mom learns she pregnant and makes fake crying video and sends it around to friends for feedback

Mom learns she pregnant and makes fake crying video and sends it around to friends for feedback

"The video is one of the creepiest things I ever saw," said a professional connected to the case. The video depicts Mom alternating between a look of dark determination and full sobs, then back again to the same dark scowl.

This edited video would be later sent to Dad along with the following message to suggest that Mom was distraught at her pregnancy:

I said I love you this morning bc my period is 5 days late which means I might be pregnant AGAIN... I don't want to be pregnant, and I can't even get myself to take a test. This is YOUR fault if I am. That is the truth. I am just afraid. And you left a bunch of your shit everywhere in my apartment. I'm not tricking you - I DONT WANT TO BE PREGNANT.

Mom asking her friend Z for feedback on the 'fake crying' video

The evidence would be presented in court and subjected to cross examination in October of 2019.
