I KNEW IT! I called it the day that it happened. The media never got into exactly what kind of drug problems Ashley Smith had, but they did acknowledge that she had some sort opf substance abuse problem in her past. As the drama was recounted to us on the news nationwide the morning after Brian Nichols capture, it was immediately apparant that she was a tweaker, and it turns out that she GAVE BRIAN NICHOLS SOME SPEED during thier whole hostage ordeal! It was pretty easy to determine that she was geeked up since he didn't even show up at her hut til early in the AM hours, yet she was awake. I was thinking, hmmm....now WHY would someone be up at that hour and be composed enough to handle a situation like that...oh wait, because she is -extremely alert-. He asked her for pot, but she gave him some bumps because it was all that she had.
I find this EXTREMELY interesting. Not good, not bad, just interesting.
