I'm just glad he is not sitting in that prison anymore.
The best way to support Ed Steele would have been to tell him that he was full of shit early on. Then he could have thought about a more viable defense. But I don't expect a woman to do that.

And actually he did contemplate a different defense. Steele acknowledged in his letter to Jim Giles dated 1 August 2010 that he had not been in his right mind. At one point some beginning steps were being taken toward a medical defense. Documentation about Steele's consumption of drugs was submitted. But for whatever reason that alternate, probably much more viable path was discontinued.
