Club Owner Offers His Property to Cover Linehan Bail, PROPERTY BOND: Anchorage man willing to put up hotel as collateral to free accused killer he hasn't met. Anchorage Daily News 5-6-2010

For what it's worth, I've called and tried to get access to the physical transcripts-- thousands of dollars in copying fees. So, that's out. I also looked into getting the audio transcript so I could put the mp3s on a free file sharing site and we could listen here at WS, but discovered Alaska...

Thanks, flourish. You're awesome :-) I'm pretty baffled by the lack of substantive info available in light of all the support as well! Particularly the emails-- Linehan won her appeal, those emails are going to be in evidence at the retrial; it can't hurt the defense to release the email...

According to today's post from the Free Mechele blog, the Linehans have secured the funds necessary to release Linehan on bond. They anticipate her release on Tuesday or Wednesday of this week.

[ The one thing the prosecution said that I definitely believe is that "there are two Mechele Linehans"-- I, however, think only one is real. I just don't know which one-- the "scorpion" manipulator who was somehow complicit in a murder plot, or the woman who was essentially railroaded and...

There's a video containing footage from yesterday's bail hearing at this link: http://www.ktuu.com/Global/story.asp?S=12393949

State Bar Associations are required to "look into or investigate" all complaints formally filed against an attorney; anyone can file a complaint against an attorney-- there is no standing requirement. The Bar acts upon complaints received and does not investigate attorney misconduct absent the...

The Alaska Daily News has posted audio from Linehan's May 3, 1996 interview with law enforcement. It's posted within 7 clips under the related audio content accompanying this article: http://www.adn.com/2010/04/28/1254851/linehan-may-be-released-to-third.html

Apparently the victim's "close friend" sold the emails to Radaronline: Dead Woman's Close Friend Sold Emails, Website Says, CNN 4-23-10 ...A lawyer for the dead woman's family said the e-mails did not come from them and she pleaded with "the person who has obtained them to stop leaking...

This could be a surprise, perhaps. If the Change of Venue Motion is granted, the trial won't necessarily be held in a new county. Florida rules allow jurors to be selected from a different county and brought into the county of original jurisdiction (where the crime occurred). So...

The hearing was originally scheduled for three days, but it's expected to continue into next week.

IMO, offending parties will just be reminded of the rules and asked to conform their conduct appropriately.

I think there could be several strategic and substantive reasons the defense does not want to show their proverbial hand regarding penalty phase witnesses-- and I agree with your theory re: family dysfunction and sexual abuse allegations. I don't know that disclosure of such witnesses could...

A new blank window would open with a URL that appeared to combine something from the websleuths domain and the actual url of the linked content. I went back to the cfnews links I had problems with and now they are all opening though :waitasec:, so I can't give the exact information.

An interesting piece which demonstrates how differently judges handle motions to recuse. The article highlights Judge Stan Strickland's recent decision and compares it to Ohio Judge Shirley Strickland Saffold's repeated refusal to recuse herself from Anthony Sowell's case. Strickland...

I have no real knowledge of the grand jury process in FL. That said, my guess is no. Someone with more knowledge could perhaps give you a better answer/explanation. That said, I think the latest developments re: Judge Strickland stepping down have tended to create the impression that this...

hmm--ok. I'm using Safari. I'll just assume it's my glitch. Thanks for your help :)

The defense could, in the future, file a similar motion against the new judge. This time it would be slightly different, however. The rule does afford for a sort of "one shot deal" in terms of the level of scrutiny/deference afforded the first motion to remove a judge. The first time this...
