I think it’s awfully convenient that he said that when she couldn’t deny it no more.

And even if he did, I’d find it awfully strange that a woman in Lenny’s age range would be interested in Micah, especially since he had nothing to give in return.

We don’t know Jenny very much, but Lenny is smart, and I don’t think he’d be sweet on someone who would have Micah. I don’t think Jenny had consensual sex with him.

Personally, I’m inclined to think Micah simply lied about it to boast because she couldn’t defend herself and her reputation, being dead.

However there’s darker theories to be made.

What do you think happened?

I'm pretty sure this theory has been discussed before but I can't find anything about people discussing this, so here's my take

In RDR2 the gang members that were all involved with the ferry heist say that Dutch shot a girl in the head for seemingly no apparent reason, and Dutch insists that he "had to do it" to escape from the situation they were in.

In some late night camp dialog John also says this:

"Them folks in Blackwater...they was real mad and we responded...like animals. Like cornered animals."

And there's a lot more dialog that also talk about how Dutch had to do what he did to escape and survive.

Anyway, while I was replaying rdr1, I got to the scene where John finally sees Dutch face to face for the first time in years, with Dutch pointing a gun to an innocent woman's head, cornered. End of the line. Until Dutch shoots her in the head, giving him and his men just enough time to make their escape

I believe this is also exactly what happened during the the Blackwater Ferry Job, nearly the exact same way. They were cornered, Dutch uses a hostage and threatens to shoot them, and then unexpectedly executes them to give them time to make their escape.

Anyway that's all, just wanted to drop my theory as there's no explained reason in game as to why Dutch shot her, other than he "had to". that's my idea as to why he made that decision. I don't think he did it for no reason, it was their only way of getting out of there.

EDIT: This video has parts where John talks about it, really do think this kinda cements it (specifically 1:01:45)

[spoilers] I think I may have figured out why later in the game (starting chapter 4 or so) Dutch has a seeming character change. In the mission “Urban Pleasures” where Arthur, Dutch, and Lenny rob the San Denis trolley station, Dutch hits his head, and can be heard later in the mission complaining about how it hurts. It is my theory that at this moment Dutch sustains a Traumatic Brain Injury. Google describes some of the symptoms as “aggression, impulsivity, irritability, lack of restraint, or persistent repetition of words or actions” among other things. sound like anybody we know? Also, just two missions later in “Revenge is a Dish Best Eaten” we see Dutch express his first pang of irrational behavior when he feeds Bronte to the gators. Now, I’m no doctor and neither is google, but I’d love to hear what you guys think about this.

I know everyone says that in RDR3 they want to follow the gang in the earlier years and have the game end with the Blackwater heist, but don't you think that West Elizabeth, New Austin etc. would get old if we had to play it for a third time? Are there any surrounding regions that RDR3 could take place in?

For you to remaster RDR1 with the same game mechanics as RDR2 and release it so that when you complete the epilogue, you seamlessly continue the story.

When it's snowing, I feel cold.

When it's wet and muddy, I feel unsettling.

When it rains, I feel soaked.

When the character cooks or eat, I feel hungry.

When I purposely execute NPCs, I feel bad.
