Well, my final words on this subject. Seems I am at odds with most here on most topics and might as well get this off my chest.
First I laugh when anyone tries to put Dez's life and relationship with his mother into context based on their own life. I like most was upset that there was an incident. I was upset that Dez struck his mother in the face with a hat and grabbed her wrists and tore her shirt..but..I was also upset that a parent would call 911 and accuse a son of trying to kill her when that was obviously not the case.
I am also upset that this woman who has been arrested 17 times-twice for preventing Dez from going to school is basically being taken by her word? You think there is a slim possibility she might have embellished her story? Yet most are just taking her word that "Dez tried to kill me." Those in the know, like former teachers from Lufkin say Dez was always taking his mother's side on everything. Even when he slept in his clothes at night because he never knew when they would be moving he was always his mother's defender. These are the same teachers, just so you know, who brought extra food to their house because Dez's loving mom spent food and rent money on drugs.
Now comes word he admitted his mother's story is what happened. Is it possible Dez was protecting his mother yet again? Remember she is on felony probation and giving a false report to the police is grounds for revoking her probation on possession of cocaine with intent to distribute.
I am probably preaching to a different choir since I don't seem to see eye to eye on much here. Just a few words to get this off my chest because we will probably never know exactly what happened.
