The sworn accounts conflict on a narrow proposition: Patrick previously answered that Lindsay had not told him in January she wanted to harm the children and that no one told him not to leave them alone, while Musgrove recalled Lindsay disclosing thoughts of harming the children in Patrick's presence in December. Differences in date, wording, and question scope matter; the archive does not resolve credibility or infer wrongdoing.
