[QUOTE="Mr. Reindeer, post: 2982, member: 79"] Everything involving the Packards and the Mill is so hopelessly convoluted and frankly doesn’t make much sense (we could easily have a whole thread on all the Packard/Eckhardt backstory we’re told and all the contradictions, and I’d happily debate it for pages). I think it’s all (intentionally) left vague enough that we can kind of roll with it, even though none of it holds up to much scrutiny. As far as Hank, we don’t know the exact circumstances of the boat explosion, or Hank’s prior relationship with the Packards (if any), so perhaps there might have been some reason to suspect Hank of foul play if he hadn’t had an alibi? It’s a stretch, but the only logical explanation is that clearly he had SOME reason to think someone might catch on. In a way, the hit and run / vehicular manslaughter thing is sort of a brilliant alibi, because as opposed to the usual “I was at a friend’s house” or something, it puts him in a highly undesirable situation, so it makes it much less likely that anyone would suspect him of making it up. The fact that it is such an awful alibi is what makes it a great alibi! It’s also a real crap shoot, though. He (presumably) had no guarantee how much time he’d end up being offered in a plea (or what he’d be sentenced to at trial if the plea wasn’t to his liking), so that seems like a mighty big gamble. Having worked in criminal law, I can tell you that a lot of sentencing stuff ends up being highly discretionary (within the proscribed legal parameters of course) and dependent on the personalities/whims of the prosecutor, judge, etc. Frost does specify in The Secret History that Josie paid for a really good lawyer for Hank, so I guess that helped him feel a little more comfortable with the bargain. But yeah. It’s all pretty silly. [/QUOTE]
