** It's not impossible for her to have used a HairPinLockpick.
* So, who would the authorities be likely to believe if Jody accused Stratton of raping her: the respected local politician or the wanted violent fugitive with a record of mental instability and nearly compulsive lying? And wouldn't "Local Politician Apprehends Dangerous Fugitive" be a great headline to propel him into the Senate? Ultimately Stratton is just far too much of a wimp to risk it.

!! PlotHole: How did Jody get into Stratton's house in the first place?
Notice how the film completely bypasses the point of how Jody gets inside the house, simply cutting from her in the front yard to suddenly there she is in the living room. But: if she had actually broken in, her threat of publicly outing herself as Stratton's mistress would have fallen rather flat, as all he'd have to do is '''show''' that she broke in. But the only way for her to get inside '''without''' breaking in would be if he'd left his house unlocked while away, a dubious proposition even in TheFifties (this is given an unintentional lampshade by proxy, when a neighbor tells Stratton he shouldn't leave his newspapers uncollected in the front yard for fear of attracting burglars). This is only exacerbated when Jody returns to his house later, because he's already had his house broken into once and he '''still''' doesn't lock his doors? (And she couldn't have made herself a key, because she never had access to one.)
