The Dead Guy in the Trunk Story

 One curious aspect of the Breonna Taylor episode in Kentucky stands out.

In 2016, Taylor went out and rented a car.  No one ever asks why, and maybe that part of the story doesn't really matter.  As a EMT at the time, she had income and a credit card.  

Somewhere in the days of this rental....the car trunk ends up with a dead body in the back. 

The body?  It's a 'friend' or 'associate' (depending on who tells the story) of her then old-boyfriend, who was a dope-dealer. 

Curiously, the guy is shot eight times.

Typically....if it was an accidental discharge....there's usually just one round in a guy.  Eight rounds?  There was some anger or upset feelings involved.

So the police of the town come around and ask questions of Taylor (she is on the rental contract).  She more or less....knows nothing.  She had to know the dead guy, because of the relationship to the then-boyfriend.  She had to even be on a first-name basis with the dead guy.  

At this point, in a normal family situation.....relatives should have come into the picture and said in a clear voice....dead bodies in a rental car under your name...are a sign of seriously bad path for life. The same relatives would have told you to pack up a bag, and get you moved to some other state....away from these circumstances.

The police are left with no real evidence....no one admitting anything, and just write the dead guy with eight bullet entries as unsolvable. 

By the grace of God, you were given a blank check, and logic would dictate walking away completely.  She did nothing.

She stayed on the same path.
