I haven't been back to this forum in quite a while, especially since A. Shore was executed. If I recall correctly, though, he had sexually abused his own children, but not physically brutally. The few available samples of his handwriting at a glance resembled the writing on the Ramsey...

I have an eerie feeling we'll be hearing from or about him in the not-to-distant future.

Here's the good part: . . ."The R&R staff will conduct a thorough unclothed body search of the condemned inmate . . ."

F10: I agree with SM being a catalyst of rage, but I'm of the belief that he didn't despise the kids. He simply didn't care about them other than as a tool to inflict maximum emotional pain on Summer. I can't even imagine the horror she went through. I wonder if we will ever know how it all...

Yes, it's there - scroll down a bit. Charles "Chase" Merritt gets death penalty for murdering McStay family

Though I've followed this trial from the day this family went missing to its painful conclusion, I apparently missed a few facts, and hope someone can help. 1. What evidence and photos were contained on CM's phone, and where is this detailed? 2. Do we know why McGee really left? 3. If the...

Earlier, the date was set for this Friday, the 27th. I'm relieved for the verdict but was determined to follow it to the bitter end. Anyone who knows more details about coverage or timing, please post same. Thanks!

Do we know if sentencing will be televised?

Well. We know who did it. We have a conviction. But I've always been fascinated by the sociopathic mind. You know, nature vs. nurture and how those variants come into play. For that reason, I'm wondering what we know about CM's background, early life, etc. Was he born with sociopathic...

I was struck by Tortoise's eval. of Merritt. If he is a true narcissist with sociopathy, he will continue to blame Joey for abandoning him, Summer for calling him out, the kids for being brats - all a twisted rationale for why they made him do what he did. I doubt he will ever reflect upon it...

I'm going to take a WAG and say that they have reached a conclusion - whatever that is - and will give their verdict early enough for the families to arrive at a reasonable time of day. Just a feeling . . .

In a word: never! CM Others: Occasionally

I remember when the news flashed that bodies had been found. Like most of us who followed this case from the beginning, I instinctively felt it would be them. When it was announced during the live press conference, I actually shed tears over a family I didn't know, had never met and never...

ITA! Plus if one makes the assumption it was someone else. Who would even remotely want to pack up the bodies and drive them straight away into CM's backyard? I mean, seriously!
