General Hospital - MESSAGE BOARDS

I didn't get to watch the show but from the update it sounds like self defense, for his mother, and his sister. I know it is a soap and they always cover up everything but don't think it needed a burn up the house and bury the body type cover up. They probably know that no one would believe that it was Micheal, but again anyone else would have shot her not hit her over the head with an ax.

Other than to draw out the story LOL , I think its possible that they could be afraid what Michael would say in a court of law. He is too truthful sometimes. Also, there are people who will testify, like Kiefer, that Michael attacks with no provacation. Then there could be the fact that he whacked her in the head with an axe. He really could have used less force and should have tryed to stop her but not necessarily outright kill her.

Then maybe everyone would be afraid that the court would not believe Carly's story that Claudia was leaving with the baby and think that Jason or Sonny or even Carly killed Claudia and they are just letting Michael take the fall.

Any of these folks killing Claudia when they all had a reason to want to kill her before she even was making off with the baby, might not be believed about what really happened.

Another thought is that Jason and Sonny are so used to covering up everything they just did it automatically, afraid that somehow Michael would end up in jail for this.

Then theres Anthony. In his mind it would be okay for him to kill Claudia however if anyone else does he would have to seek revenge. Not to do would make him appear weak.

I don't know, but I thought it was silly. Within an hour, two people already had (correctly) speculated on what really happened. Jason's not as smart as he thinks he is this time.

Frankly, I'd be far more interested in the drama of a court case than this "you did good!" crap. We haven't had a really good court drama in ages. Michael could be brought up on murder charges, then Diana and Alexis could team up to defend him as having killed Claudia in self-defense. We'd have a lot of good soapy drama, and then Michael could learn that the system can work when the truth is told.

I'm guessing that Jason wasn't too worried about what anyone will/does speculate happened. I think he was focusing on their not being any evidence to use against Michael. In his mind none of this is Michael's fault and he refuses to let any of the fall-out land on Michael, who he sees as a son.

Plus, they are mobsters, of course they are going to cover it up. They certainly aren't going to trust the cops to treat Michael fairly...

You know what I thought was funny.....Jason told Carly what to say about the whole situation but yet she told Jax the truth great cover-up!

I agree with you alikat, I think Jax will turn Michael in. I can hardly blame him! He is already unstable, now he's an unstable killer!! They should never had covered it up, now, it makes him look guilty. Although, it will all come out, and when Kiefer is killed off, Michael will get the blame!!
