Which leads me to my bigger issue -- the topic was irrelevant. Veronica didn’t claim that she was a virgin – in fact she admitted dating at least 2 boys. So, unless unchaste women are inherently unreliable as witnesses, I don’t see why the judge allowed the defense attorney to question Veronica about it. It was a smear on a collateral issue.
This was my problem with it. Also that the judge allowed it. Why? It has no bearing on whether or not Veronica would have propositioned Aaron.
But it still leads to why did Woody make sure Gia wasn't on the bus, which implies foreknowledge.
This is true.
Actually, I'm not sure if I *can* wrap my head around Cassidy being behind the crash. I get that emotionally he wouldn't want to be outed, and the reasons why, but don't most people who aren't born-to-it criminals think smaller? As in, work on the individuals in question personally -- offer money for silence, maybe, and promise that they could have their revenge another way, maybe by killing Woody?
Narrator's interpretation of the tape, with the image of Mac crying on the preview, makes sense, but I still don't completely buy Beav as the culprit.
What I can see is someone like Woody's wife doing it. Likes the power and money, hates that her husband is a twisted sicko, but won't give up the money and power, either, and therefore decides to remove the possible outers from the picture.
Except that Woody's wife isn't a character, so it can't be her. Gia, though...
Gia, though...
Heh. Well we do only have her word that Woody called her and told her not to be on the bus...
So, is the Veronica's doctor in the pay of the Echolls Defense attorney.

Don't know. But we've seen that Aaron is willing to pay for/manipulate "evidence" and clearly has people willing to help him, like Kendall.
I know chlamydia often doesn't have symptoms, and I'm betting the treatment is simply antibiotic, so if her doctor was paid to tell her she has it (and include it in her medical record), giving her the treatment for it (so she would believe she had it), probably wouldn't hurt.
On the other hand, there's so much legitimate evidence to paint Veronica as dishonest and morally suspect, it hardly seems worth it to throw an STD in there.
Season two is coming out on DVD on August 15th!
Why would he send that to Woody if he's the one who took out the bus? To scare Woody that a similar fate was waiting for him, perhaps.
No. To scare Woody off the incorporation deal. That is: Don't go through with the incorporation deal, or I'll out you as a pederast.

The same thought occurred to me. What if Veronica never had chlamydia, but the doctor was paid off?
There's all kinds of stuff that happened during the trial that could allow for a retrial if the State appeals.

Because of Cassidy's own land deal? That's entering evil overlord territory because either he was already planning the land deal before big Dick went AWOL (and was willing to take out a bus full of kids to keep himself un-outed, but was willing to use the tape that would have outed him), or, after taking out the bus, he kept the tape around in case he needed to use it, and once he started his land dealings that's when he decided to send it to Woody. Not sure I'll be able to buy either of those if that's what RT is selling.

I really doubt this. Anyone in the medical provider chain (doctor, nurse, lab technician) or a hacker could have leaked to the defense that Veronica had an STS. But for the doctor to have told her that she had an STS knowing that she did not, and put her on a course of treatment that could have an adverse result (there is always some risk in taking any medication) -- I just don't see that. Plus, how does that work -- someone pays off the doctor in the event that Veronica happens to make an appointment to see him?

No State appeal. The constitution forbids double jeopardy -- a person acquited of a crime cannot be tried again for that crime by the state.
