Here's an interesting thought. Early on in the letter he say the captain saw a letter from his daughter to this guy in jail telling him that she has a plan for how they can be together. Then supposedly there is a recorded conversation involving this captain, his daughter and that guy where they insinuate that Donny banged the daughter while the Captain watched. If Donny knows about this recording then where is it? If it exists and is evidence then wouldn't you think a decent attorney could show the letter talking about a plan and pair with a secret recording from later to show it was a setup?
It all doesn't make sense, but then, as he scrambles to explain the situation, details seem to get dropped.

Though anyone can be capable of lying like this, I am currently reading the book "without conscience" and he does a lot of studies on psychopathic inmates. One thing that he talks about constantly is their ability to make shit up without skipping a beat, get caught in the lie, ... then without skipping a beat, keep moving, make up another lie, redirect, make more shit up etc. Effortlessly.
If there are no over riding emotions like embarrassment/shame/guilt to curb this ("what if i get caught, they won't trust me anymore", "what if they know the truth, then they'll think i'm a...", "i couldn't feel right about saying..." etc), then there is no reason not to lie and keep lying.
Donny of course is expected to being in his position. Well, actually he would be expected to say "talk to my attorney" but he's too sick and all other urges override that little bit of common sense. I'm more interested in the fact that to date, not a single hint of regret, remorse or empathy... for anyone, anywhere, on any side of the issue. Not for his mother. Not for his church. Not for the girls families. Not for anyone.
That in itself, tells you with 100% certainty that his emotional wiring is badly damaged, misfiring or in some places, just not there at all.
