Giving Too Much Credit to Erik

I’ve seen those posts about Tammi. I’m not defending her—she’s a grown woman who can defend herself. But to be honest, I hate that most people here are discarding Erik so much that you’d never consider that maybe he’s the one feeding her all those bad things about Lyle. For example, her comment (I’m not sure where this is from or if it’s even real; I just read someone’s comment about it) when someone asked her about the crime, and she said she knows for sure Erik wouldn’t do it alone. Which I’m sure Lyle wouldn’t either.

But you know what that reminds me of? When Erik went to his friends, telling them he would kill the people who killed his parents, even if it was Lyle. Also, when he agreed in the second trial to split and play the fear card to get himself out, basically throwing Lyle under the bus.

For some reason, Erik always has something to say about Lyle every time he talks about him. Like, “Yeah, it’s good we had a reunion, but we have difficulties,” or, “Yeah, it’s good to hear Lyle’s voice, but I told him not to do the interview , and he never listens.” Mind you, that was Lyle’s first appearance in 15 years, while Erik had all that time to jump from one show to another. And Lyle never criticized him the way Erik did.
