About this - if in 9 days Chris will have another continuance, there can be no mistake, charges are VERY serious, even beyond incest. No defender would've wasted so much time on something that could result in a slap on the wrist.
They could add more charges, but the case got a continuance. There is also a problem that if it wasn't rape, then Barb was a consensual participant, therefore could be charged with incest too. Yes, Barb is too old to serve time in jail, but that doesn't mean she can't be charged and she wasn't after 3 months.
There can be two explanations - firstly, don't forget their relationships are terribly codependent, so she probably asked him for money, that's why he asked "to bring gifts to the temple" or some shit. That also opens disgusting possibility, that Barb was indeed a consenting participant, but the second she felt that authorities could take her away from her hoard, quickly threw Chris under the bus. Secondly, are we sure it was Barb who sent that letter and not some other islamic tranny?
