Intensive Control (Icon)

Intensive Control is a classification status for inmates who have shown disruptive behavior through disciplinary offenses, assaultive actions or confrontations, or who are so continuously a disruptive influence on the operation of the facility that they require more structured management by prison authorities. Intensive Control status is generally less restrictive than the Maximum Control status.

O/T again

Looks like Boz didn't win the primary, so I guess he will stay an ADA. Unless he has other plans?

Here are the results:

Thanks for that Jewels, I'm sorry for him that he didn't make it through the primary (but I'm secretly smiling that we'll still have him in the courtroom). I doubt this will be his first election if he really wants the head job, once he builds up more political experience (and some big money donors) he'll likely go farther, he certainly has drive and determination.
 
Interesting inside info from my brother. Turns out he knows one of the environmental investigators in the county, and I brought up this trial in conversation. I asked him to talk to his friend and see what he said about the case. Both Amanda and Grant were caught on the cameras disposing of multiple things, not just the acid. The environ investigators also found/collected the gloves and a few other key pieces of evidence. I don't know why they didn't show the other shots from the camera, but I'm guessing they didn't want to overwhelm the jury with a bunch of things, just wanted to keep the main incriminating evidence for the court room. When I see my brother, I'll talk to him some more about it. Small world...

That is very interesting information. I guess they are saving all there evidence for the Trial for Amanda, which is good. The more they have the better the chance of conviction will be. jmo

Thanks Surfie for this info and if you find anything else out please do keep us posted.

I wonder what Amanda thinks about her light sentence in NC and with one pending in the good ole state of TX. :jail:

The case of the Texas body bag was particularly vexing to Radisch. A month earlier a woman from Kinston, a city 90 miles southeast of Raleigh, had disappeared. Eleven days later a collection of bones turned up in a Texas creek. Dental records linked the remains to the Kinston woman, Laura Ackerson, who had been in a custody dispute with her ex-boyfriend, a Raleigh musician and the father of her two children.

But after opening the body bag in her Chapel Hill lab, Radisch was flummoxed. The Galveston medical examiner's autopsy was sloppy. He had sawed into many bone fragments himself, and several parts of the skeleton were improperly labeled, or not labeled at all. A piece of neck cartilage was partially crushed, suggesting strangulation, but Radisch couldn't be sure. The cartilage arrived in a peculiar mass of tissue, and it was possible that the Galveston doctor crushed it himself.

Radisch needed Ross to tell her which bones had been sliced by the Galveston doctor, and which had been sawed by Ackerson's murderer. More important, Radisch wondered if Ross could solve a key mystery of the case: determining the precise type of saw used to dismember the 27-year-old mother.

The phone call marked the early stages of an investigation that took several twists during its two-year course. Ackerson's murder and dismemberment would become one of the most notorious cases in the city's history, sensationalized by local media when it went to trial.

I can't find any open Grant H. threads, so posting this here. GH is appealing his conviction.

I rarely find anything related to murder funny, but this may be an exception. GH is appealing because he thinks: 1) the jury should not have heard some stuff from Ginger Calloway, the psychologist; and, 2) his song lyrics should not have been allowed.

Okee dokee then. Let's pretend those 2 things were in error (not that I think they were). Remaining is the pesky little issue of LAURA'S BODY PARTS IN THE CREEK, THE UHAUL, SAW, AND THE BERRY'S.

The fact that he's appealing is unbelievable to me. He's got to be one of the most stupid people who ever lived.

He's got nothing better to do and this is the standard form of 1st degree conviction amusement when sitting around in a tiny cell with nothing else to think of.

This is a really good article on the forensic anthropologist, Dr. Ross, and how she helped to crack this case:

A national expert in human remains, Ann Ross used cutting-edge science to help solve one of Raleigh's most notorious murders

In August of 2011, Ann Ross, a North Carolina State University anthropologist, got a call from Deborah Radisch, who had just received a body bag containing fresh bones. The bag had recently been shipped from Texas, via commercial airliner, and Radisch needed Ross' help.

It wasn't uncommon for Ross to receive such requests from North Carolina's chief medical examiner. Ross was a national leader in forensic anthropology, a growing field whose scientists study bones to help solve murders and other untimely deaths. While Radisch was tasked with investigating deaths in which foul play was suspected, her expertise was in soft tissue, not skeletal remains.

Great article! Thank you.
 
GH's appeal was denied.

"In its brief Monday, the state maintained there were no errors at Hayes' trial, saying Hayes ignored the context of the evidence in question. It was not to establish truth but to show motive and ill will toward Ackerson, the state contended."Read more at http://www.wral.com/nc-raleigh-man-...-for-ex-s-death/14168352/#wwK2xbYseXoPCoyQ.99

Now here's hoping they rule similarly on the J. Young appeal, i.e., no errors. And J. Williford's. Let's get these murderers' appeals done and over with.

Thanks Boodles for keeping us informed. This case was a tough one. So glad the appeal was denied.
