While in the courtroom, I noticed that Laura Owens didn’t seem to be paying close attention during some of Clayton Echard’s victim impact statement at sentencing. While looking back at the feed last night, I noticed the camera caught that she had her attorney pull up Clayton’s “Off The Vine” interview with @kaitlynbristowe that aired THE DAY PRIOR while Clayton was speaking. To me, that feels like a lack of consideration for Clayton’s pain and more interest in making excuses. Victims are allowed to speak to media. There was nothing there that should’ve mattered more than what Clayton was saying in that moment. He deserved a direct apology.
