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 Johnsons latest attorneys are expected to support Judge Paul McMurdies 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 childs paternal grandfather, has said throughout the court proceedings... They will not charge her with murder and try her in San Antonio because theres no physical evidence that she killed Gabriel. Unless, they come up with any evidence in San Antonio that she did kill Gabriel, they wont try her because they know they have one shot at convicting her. They want to be damn sure they can get a conviction.
...the childs 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, Johnsons grandfather, Robert Johnson, believes that his granddaughter has come as clean as she can, and did not kill Gabriel. I dont 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 doesnt 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.
