Elizabeth Johnson's Court Hearings & Charges

[iluvmua]

I hope she eventually gets charged with murder......... I hope hope hope Texas is not done with this case.

I will be ticked beyond belief if she gets sent to a mental hospital for the rest of her life.

I think she fatally harmed Gabriel.

Trial Might Finally Be In Sight In Baby Gabriel Case

By Mike Sakal, Tribune

...a hearing is scheduled in Maricopa County Superior Court on Friday when Johnson’s latest attorneys are expected to support Judge Paul McMurdie’s decision that Johnson is mentally competent to stand trial.

...CNN Headline News’ Nancy Grace Show has billed the Elizabeth Johnson trial in its top four trials the show will be following in 2012.

...If convicted on all the charges, Johnson could face a sentence ranging from nine months in jail to 20 years in prison, according to information from prosecutors.

...“Maricopa County is the only place where Elizabeth is going to face justice,” Frank McQueary, the child’s paternal grandfather, has said throughout the court proceedings... They will not charge her with murder and try her in San Antonio because there’s no physical evidence that she killed Gabriel. Unless, they come up with any evidence in San Antonio that she did kill Gabriel, they won’t try her because they know they have one shot at convicting her. They want to be damn sure they can get a conviction.”


...the child’s father, Logan McQueary, formerly of Gilbert and now living out of state in an attempt to move forward with his life, has resigned himself to what forensic experts have believed all along: that Johnson, as she initially told McQueary during a chilling phone call on Dec. 27, 2009, suffocated Gabriel and stuck his “little blue body” in a diaper bag before tossing it into a Dumpster.

...Meanwhile, Johnson’s grandfather, Robert Johnson, believes that his granddaughter has “come as clean as she can,” and did not kill Gabriel. “I don’t think she harmed the child,” Robert Johnson said. “I think she did what she said she did in the park that day in San Antonio: She gave Gabriel away and doesn’t know who she gave him to.”

... “Her attitude right now is this: She is going to stipulate to her attorneys to support her competency and go to trial because she said she can win.”

Although I would love for EJ to get Life in prison for murder, I would be happy if she got 20-30 years for the Arizona charges.

Does anyone know when the picture of Elizabeth with the blue background was taken? Is it her DL's photo? She is smiling in the picture, she looks quite young in it too.
