I voted "definitely not the Lawlesses". I would't want to risk placing another child in the same environment that helped shape Melissa Huckaby.

No way!!!! Another postponement-- From KTVU news: STOCKTON, Calif. -- The court appearance of a Sunday school teacher who is accused of kidnapping, raping and murdering an eight-year-old Tracy girl has been postponed so her defense can review 1,000 pages of discovery evidence, officials...

Oh--thank you for that. I don't know where I got May 11 from.

I'm posting this question here because it seems to be the only active thread. Sorry if I'm totally out of the loop here--I understand that info in this case is sealed, but shouldn't we at least know about Melissa Huckaby's plea yesterday? Or did it get postponed again? TIA for any info.

As far as not entering a plea, there are many ways it can be postponed--again and again. I know someone who was charged with a horrible crime not too long ago, here in CA, and her attorney postponed the plea for months and months. There were many hearings, but no plea. I'm not familiar with...

I'm wondering if/hoping that this may be because MH is going to plead Guilty or "No Contest".

I am stating feelings, not facts. Feelings can not always be defended in a rational way. I interpreted MH's tears as sincere, and loaded with existential pain (maybe I'm seeing truth, maybe it's PMS--who knows--they're simply "feelings"). In contrast, CA has barely squeezed out a tear, and her...

Please understand that I don't think MH should be "pampered" either. I think she should be punished to the full extent of the law. I just think that she still has some humanity. I distinguish her from the likes of Casey Anthony who shows absolutely no remorse or human emotion. I don't think...

I know what I'm about to say will make me very unpopular here, but I feel I need to express it anyway. And please read this entire post, if you read it at all--before you write me off. I do have some compassion for Melissa Huckaby. I think she is a very deeply troubled and lost soul. Though...

If I were Sandra's family, allowing anyone aligned with Melissa Huckaby to have access to, control over, or in anyway touch, poke or prod Sandra's body would feel like a second rape. It may be legal, but I feel bad for the family if they have to endure this autopsy.

He also says that he is seeking custody of their daughter. He's remarried and has kid(s?) with his present wife.

Thanks for starting this thread. This case has affected me more profoundly than any other. I live in Oakland--not too far from Tracy, but I don't think that is the reason. I have a good friend who has been equally touched by Sandra's death and we have concluded that it is not only because of...

I think you might be on to something here. One question though, if she did not molest Sandra or intend to kill her, what would be her motive in drugging her?

Hans Reiser--and yes, he did exchange a lesser sentence for taking them to his wife's body--after he was already convicted.

I have always thought so too.

Thanks Dunluken too. That's pretty big.

Thanks Momtective and Shergal!

I can't watch the coverage, but it seems like it's taking forever. Can someone give me an idea of just how big this dumpster is?

I'm totally ignorant about the nuances of DNA testing--Can't they just use the dad's DNA? Or maybe it' easier or quicker to use the mom's DNA?

I voted "other" because, I figured Casey was guilty from the first article I read about Caylee's "disappearance". When the story hit the internet and explained that Casey never reported her own daughter missing, I was certain that she was involved in something nefarious. I wasn't sure, at...
