Left for Garbage

sympathetic Margaret Brown took the stand and basically did her best to destroy the prosecution’s case in the murder trial of her daughter, Denise Brown.

    Long known for her elastic maneuvering of the truth, today Margaret Brown outdid herself, and so in the interest of honesty, this reporter is featuring what I like to call ‘Margaret’s ten greatest hits’.

    Lie number one: Margaret Brown now claims responsibility for the chloroform searches on the Brown computer, saying that she was home the day they were made, something she had apparently forgotten to tell the police because she states at that time her medication had clouded her memory. Margaret further states that her new medication has allowed her to assess the events of over three years ago as though they were yesterday. Doctors and pharmaceutical companies around the world will soon begin contacting Mrs. Brown in an effort to ascertain the name of this miracle drug for their patients who are suffering memory loss.

    Lie number two: Margaret’s continual denial of her daughter Denise’s pregnancy long past it becoming apparent to even the most casual passerby.

    Lie number three: One day the ladder to the Brown pool is safely stowed away because, as Mrs. Brown stated, one week ago: “I never ever forgot to store it and I remember doing so on the fifteenth of June, the last day I was ever able to swim with my granddaughter.” However, not a week later, Mrs. Brown of the newly revived memory, thanks to the miracle of drug therapy, informs the court while under oath, that, “I’m pretty sure I forgot to put the pull ladder down that Sunday. In fact, I remember seeing it still attached before I left for work on Monday.” Readers, for those of you who haven’t obsessively followed every word in the Brown baby case, the Monday Mrs. Brown refers to is the date Denise Brown’s defense attorney claims is the morning the little girl unfortunately drowned in the swimming pool.

    Lie number four: Due no doubt once again to Margaret’s remarkably restored memory, she now states that the stain found in the trunk of Denise Brown’s car, the one prosecutors believe was used to transport the body of her deceased child, was an old stain, one she had noticed years before … eleven years before … when she and Keith Brown purchased the car for their then-teenaged son, Seeley Brown.

    Lie number five: First deliberately handing the FBI a hairbrush with strands of her daughter’s hair in it, not her deceased granddaughter’s, then lying to them about doing so deliberately, and then lying once again when caught, telling her close friend and private investigator, Dennis Myers, that she had done so deliberately.

    Lie number six: Going to the police and suggesting Denise Brown’s former fiancé, Bobby Rightman, was Deeley’s killer, and then further accusing him of deleting information which would have proven him to be the ‘real killer’ on Denise Brown’s laptop.

    Lie number seven: Lying to any and every media outlet who would give her air time by proclaiming her daughter Denise’s innocent while simultaneously telling family and friends that she knew Denise had something to do with Deeley’s disappearance.

    Lie number eight: On August 8th, 2008, Margaret Brown gave interviews stating that her family was getting death threats via their home and cell phones, as well as on their email accounts. On August 29, 2008, Margaret blogged on Hub pages that they had received no threats from anyone.

    Lie number nine: Once again on Hub pages, this entry dated August 11, 2008, Margaret stated, “Anyone who knows Denise knows she’d do anything, including sit in jail, to protect her daughter.” This reporter has been unable to find even one acquaintance to verify the selfless nature of Denise Brown, or for that matter a mob-type connection which might necessitate Denise Brown’s silence on the matter of her daughter.

    Lie number ten: Margaret Brown categorically denies sending out her own close friend and personal investigator into the woods to look for the remains of Deeley Brown, despite tapes showing Mr. Myers searching almost the exact location of the body, and a tape with him stating to his co-investigator, “Remember, Margaret said not to call the police when we find Deeley, to just call her …”

    Readers, this reporter has not listed the lies of Margaret Brown in any particular order of importance; that is for you, the reader, to decide. In some
