No blame here, but it sounds like Catherine's father may not have fully understood the severity of her illness. He may have viewed her as how he WANTED her to be, rather than how she really was. Perhaps that's why he thought it would be okay to allow her to take his car and be alone with her...

The article in post #146 suggests the defense attorney withdrew because the family couldn't afford his fees. A plea of not guilty is not the same thing as saying, "I'm innocent." It can also mean that even though you are guilty of the offense, you intend to make the prosecution prove that you...

Wow, that's a great find. It may be worth passing on to LE. According to the Washington Post article upthread, you can call the Montgomery County police at 240-773-5070.

Yes, the prosecutor has to provide evidence to the defense attorney, upon timely request by the defense attorney. Rule 17.1 of the Arkansas Rules of Criminal Procedure governs what evidence has to be shared, and when. Here is a snippet...

She can only plead to a lesser charge if the prosecutor feels there is something to be gained from it, such as concern about whether a jury would convict her of the current charges, a need for her testimony against AL or any other co-conspirators, etc. If she wasn't involved in any way she...

Pleas are almost always an option. This case is still in the early stages though so it's too early to tell whether the State will need CL's testimony to get a capital murder/kidnapping conviction against AL. If CL does get to plead to a lesser offense, she will most likely still receive a...

After doing some quick research on the charges filed against CL for kidnapping and capital murder in the death of Beverly Carter and my limited understanding of criminal law in general, I have a few thoughts that may shed some light on the State's reasons for charging CL the way they did...

I was so excited to see that Jennifer's case will be on Dateline next week. Looking forward to watching.

If LE learns the person knew about the plan to murder Anne, and actively encouraged or promoted it in some way, that person could be charged as a principal for first degree murder. However, if the person just knew about the murder after the fact and lied to the cops about it, they could be...

http://www.okcca.net/online/oujis/oujisrvr.jsp? oc=OUJI-CR% 202-6 According to the information found from the above linked website, in Oklahoma, "One who does not actively commit the offense, but who aids, promotes, or encourages the commission of a crime by another person, either by act or...

I ordered: 3 large pizzas 3 2-liter sodas Pizza Hut They should arrive in about 35 or 40 minutes.

Milano's is donating a case of water. I just spoke with the owner.

6 pizzas 6 2-liter sodas From Milano's 301-540-9191

Thanks for changing it, Tricia. Sorry about the bad number.

Unfortunately, I can't make it to the search, but I can donate food and water. Since I haven't been in that area in years, I looked up some Subway restaurants and pizza places on Google. There is a Subway .4 of a mile from the search center. The address is 13411 Kingsview Village Drive...

Bethany Decker went missing on 1/29/2011. Also worth noting...she was a George Mason University student. Link:www.ncmissingpersons.org/bethany-decker/

I did some quick research on Louisiana conspiracy law. Apparently, as long as the two agreed on the ultimate crime, it doesn't matter whether only one person carried out the object of the agreement. So even if MAS didn't stab Jaren, she could still be convicted of conspiracy to commit murder if...

My heart breaks for this family. They have gone through so much. It is sad that Kelsie's grandfather passed before Kelsie was found and received justice. And now Kelsie's mom is back in the hospital, too? I hope she gets better soon. Prayers for a successful search so that Kelsie can be found...

This is wonderful news! I am so glad justice for Jennifer has finally arrived! Thanks again to everyone for providing links to the tweets and articles, and for your case commentary throughout the trial.

It makes absolutely no sense. Hopefully, most of the surveillance footage is still available.
