I just heard. I am so relieved for her family. I hope she knows how many people love and care for her. Prayers answered.

I am just hearing about this case today and came here for more facts. I have watched the video of her car pulling over and it just strikes me that nothing is readily visible with all the headlights of the many cars passing. There did not appear to be other vehicles by her and I couldn't see...

Premeditation can be seconds. It is a misconception that is has to be lengthy planning. Of course, lengthy planning does make it a very solid case of premeditation. But, any amount of premeditation, even seconds, if proven, is enough.

Tried to quote. In answer to the question as to whether our family is still being stalked. It has been a few years but I gave up speaking and we moved. When I resume speaking, I will have to see. I am now better prepared and my children are not young any more. My guard is never down. Being...

I have tears just hearing the empathy in your post. Thank you. I have never really told this story in public because it is still so hard. But, I felt like I had to share what it is actually like to be hunted by a stalker. Thank you.

Stalking is the hunting of humans. It is an extremely deviant behavior. It is not normal and you cannot find a reason or provocation that justifies hunting human beings. Bullied, not bullied. Does not matter. Hunting and slaughtering humans is not justified or explained with any rational...

Re heroin post (tried to quote but it did not post) In my experience with abuse, sometimes people with very intrusive thoughts use drugs to calm those unwanted strong thoughts. Just suggesting the two could be related but in another way. If he lost his coping mechanism and obviously had violent...

I would suggest that, to help her, she was likely asked a series of questions to develop a picture. Short? Fat? Tall? Thin? Athletic? Muscular? Facial features? That sort of thing. So the report could put what she answered to those questions rather than a direct quote. MOO. Also, just a note...

I am having trouble understanding how he thought he could go in and get out quickly when the (likely) intended victim(s) were not on the first floor. For all his supposed planning, too much could go wrong between the upper floors and his escape that I would think he would pick a safer venue for...

Let me chime in here. I am a female attorney who is also LDS. I adopted a child who had been severely abused. After realizing what kids go through that have had so much trauma, I gave up my legal career to fight for foster children and children with special needs. I have spoken at numerous...

You still have to use what is available in the community. The FBI does not take care of all of that.

It is not that complicated. From the trials I have been involved in that involved a high profile defendant in our community, there were ALWAYS security issues and death threat issues - credible or not. They have to be taken seriously. I can only imagine stupid things people have posted in their...

For those upset with special privileges, I have been part (behind the scenes) of several higher profile cases in a rural community. They were not near this magnitude but they were murder/death penalty cases that drew alot of attention in our rural area. When plans were made to transport the...

Sorry. I was referring to the entire scheme - with all of the people who are missing and/or deceased, as well as the attempted hits. If they are all related, it all does not appear to be planned out very well which makes me think that covering any of it up (if out of jail) would be very...

I will defer to another attorney. I am not a criminal attorney. My area of law would more closely align with the children's issue and the abandonment charges. I likely know more about criminal law than the average person, but, not being an Idaho attorney or a criminal attorney, I will pass...

Good point and true. The judge has to look at what LV is charged with, not what it looks like to everyone that she has done. At the same time, the judge is obviously very concerned the children are missing which leads to the $1M, same as the previous murder bail. Plus an ankle monitor. One...

For me, the primary concern is production of the children if possible. This hearing today showed, imo, that the judge took Lori's behavior very seriously. The bail is very high for these charges (and rightly so, under the unique circumstances of this case). This shows that the judge is...

I do not agree that the defense won this one. I felt like the prosecutor made excellent legal points. Lori's counsel also had some good legal points. I feel like the judge ruled based on the law and the legal arguments. I am satisfied that all parties were represented and that the conditions...

When I see that picture, my heart aches. I work with lots of special needs parents. Parenting a child with special needs is very tough at times, even when you love them with all your heart. If someone was not totally invested in JJ's care, he would be a major problem for a carefree, beach...

I am not worried by the question. As I shared before, I was jury coordinator on three murder trials with sequestered juries. A jury that asks questions is a good jury. They take their job seriously. We are getting reporter's tweets. They are there. This is their first chance to discuss the...
