In fact, it makes their view more plausible.
Assume that Ms. Martin is guilty of recent charges and that she had an issue with alcohol when she was in Mexico (two assumptions -- she may be not guilty or, even if guilty, only recently began drinking). If so that makes her story that she was unaware of a major fraud happening around her by the people she spent her time with far more plausible.
I dealt with an individual whose spouse was a fraudster. The individual, sadly, had a serious drinking problem and genuinely didn't know about the frauds committed around the individual.

You don't need to be an alcoholic to be ignorant of a spouses wrongdoing. Nor is alcoholism an excuse for being ignorant. The two are likely not related to each other.

Fair enough!
With all the stresses of her Mexican incarceration, perhaps her nerves are shots.
Please Brenda was an alcoholic before prison and certainly was not blind to what Waage was doing. Why all the bleeding heart apologists, when so many good people have problems that are ignored. Stop talking it, you have no idea what you are talking about.
Duncan, you have a point -- in truth I don't know what really happened!
Back in 1993, she was convicted in Ontario of driving with over 80mL of alcohol in her blood.
That suggests to me carelessness, foolishness, a lack of concern for her safety and that of others; and it also strongly suggests that she's the type of person to say "I won't get caught" and take their chances doing something they know to be illegal.
Now I've never driven drunk, but funnily enough I've also never found myself caught up in any illegal schemes. So you MUST be right about a correlation.
.. But you're wrong in identifying it. *I* have self-control, ethics, and a conscience. Clearly, Brenda Martin does not.
