that isn’t grounds for appeal. There’s Supreme Court case law on remedying deficient Miranda warnings.

I’m almost positive the manslaughter charge is based on his confession alone. He probably gave some “accidental killing” story and they booked him on it. Those charges will be upgraded.

Hallelujah. Happy Mother’s Day in heaven, Suzanne.

I’ve never charged a 192 by itself unless it was vehicular. Otherwise, you always charge murder 1 or 2 in California, and then can plea out to a lesser included, or the jury can convict of the manslaughter if it goes to trial. Also, felony sentencing in California is complicated. If he were...

PC 206 carries a term of 7-life so we aren’t worried about not having a murder charge.

Just want to clarify that dad is not charged with poisoning; both of them are charged with child abuse and torture. Then Lindsey is also charged with poisoning, while Jordan is charged with failure to provide.

They are charged together in one complaint at this time.

There is nothing I can or will say outside of what’s been made public, but I will ask of you all to trust the process. There is nothing off or suspicious about how this has gone thus far. Just keep this precious child in your prayers!

Good to see you too!! I've been following; just been so busy with work.

It is rare for a case involving children to not seal the warrants; particularly a high profile case like this. I wouldn't plan on seeing anything in those soon.

NCIC is not publicly searchable.

This case is making me think a lot of myself at that age. Though I'm now 13 years older than SW, I, too, come from a family of VERY strict parents who often came (and come) across as emotionless. I also got into Cal first when I was applying for colleges, but my parents (and my dad in...

literally right away. We call it a walk through warrant.

it’s possible they could have at a later stage. In the Watts case we saw a charge of unlawful termination of pregnancy. So I’m not sure if Washington has a similar law they could use, should they be able to conclude she was in fact pregnant.

Morning guys, I just want to fix a quick few things: there is NO constitutional right to bail for anyone. However, if bail is set, it must past 8th amendment muster as far as cruel and unusual punishment is concerned. nearly everyone pleads guilty at arraignment. I’d pass out from shock if a...

I agree. North Carolina will almost certainly retain jurisdiction over the case.

hundreds of square acres I bet :rolleyes:

I just want to clarify that Brady cops are those who have in fact been dishonest or committed an act of moral turpitude (such as what you mentioned: lying on a search warrant declaration or on the stand), but that does not include lying to a defendant in an investigatory process, as the law is...

We don't catch the smart ones ;)

It doesn’t have to be high bail. It can just be no bail at all. There is no constitutional right to bail and based on what’s gone on here, that appears to be why he was booked the way he was. These charges are likely placeholders while the DA can file locally.
