It has also occurred to me that the defense may have JM plead "not guilty" as leverage to get the CA to negotiate for a lighter sentence for JM. A trial will be as expensive as the defense can make it, could possibly drag on for a while, puts the victim through h*ll what with having to testify...

Our local morning news mentioned this as well, and said that Orange Co police will be answering questions from reporters. http://www.wset.com/story/27380841/police-to-answer-questions-on-search-for-murphy-clarke I wonder if remains have been found. Wasn't there recently more searching in...

This signals to me that they've already decided to plead guilty and have JM throw himself on the mercy of the court. This is exactly the scenario that Coy and Wolf discussed yesterday afternoon on Situation Room, except Coy added the caveat that it would depend on which judge was appointed to...

I totally think that the reason they moved him in the middle of the night, and the reason they were SO quiet about it, was that they didn't want anyone trying to go all vigilante on him. I doubt it's just the parents who feel the way Concerned Mama feels. Imo.

I definitely agree that he's able to assist in his own defense, most certainly from what we know about him at this point. Was really just trying to participate in the brainstorming that was going on about what HIS lawyers might try to do, since there have been whispers about an insanity or...

I imagine that over time we'll see him lose some weight and muscle tone, too, at least while he's in jail. Prison will be a different story. Imo. Judging from my son's experience as I saw it, and as he related it to me, jail is a much more unpleasant place to be than prison. That may have to...

I very much appreciate your clarification on this. Thank you. I hope everyone who reads my post will note that I did qualify it by saying that I didn't know whether the characteristics I mentioned were related to Asperger's or not, since at this point I cannot delete or edit the post. I do...

Is there not also a consideration, based on intelligence measures, of whether a defendant understands the charges against him and is able to assist in his own defense? Or have I just watched too many cop shows? Frankly, certain behaviors of JM's remind me of the one person I know who has...

That is what they talked about on Situation Room - JM having been moved to Fairfax in the middle of the night. Coy said JM left the jail in C'ville shortly after 10 pm and was booked into Ffx at 1:40 am. Coy and Wolf also discussed whether JM would soon return to C'ville or would stay in...

Ah, those Sneaky Petes! Coy was still talking yesterday afternoon (on Situation Room) about Jesse's possibly attending Friday's hearing via video link again. He said no one had given any indication that Jesse was going to be moved. To quote John Turturro (from movie, "Mr. Deeds"), "You are...

Please allow me to respectfully disagree. This Washington Post article, and several others I've read, state that she was most certainly raped. LE would not have brought that charge if the rape hadn't actually happened...

Actually, I've wondered if he had an accomplice also. Some descriptions I've read of JM, especially those descriptions given by friends of his, might lead me to believe that he would be more likely to follow direction from a "ringleader" type than to make plans and carry them out on his own. I...

Still, the 1:06 text thing does not make sense. If the text said (paraphrasing) "lost at 14th and Wertland" it doesn't make sense because we know that Hannah was on the DTM at 1:06. She lived just a couple of blocks from 14th and Wertland; she'd know the DTM isn't that location. If the text...

I think I must be missing something? How could LE be going through Hannah's phone on Monday? I understand they would have gotten her computer from her apartment, but her phone? Reportedly it takes a while to get phone records from the service provider, so they wouldn't have had those yet, and...

Do you think it's O/T? I think the evidence they possibly have has every bearing on when charges will be filed. That's why I didn't think it was O/T. If it is, mods, I apologize.

I've been thinking about the Greta van Susteren show that had the two ex-LE guys doing some brainstorming at the crime scene behind the cottage at 3193. Also the statement from Coy Barefoot's tipster who called in the report of buzzards on Oct 6. In each of those narratives, reference or...

He has proven over and over that he is able to learn from his own mistakes. This has been more than evident in the ways he has changed his MO over time. To me this also proves that he knew he would cause death in these situations of stalking and attacking. He is obviously able to put two...

This has turned into a discussion about JM, and I have a response that I'd like to add, but I'm going to put it in the "What do we know" thread. 'K? :thinking: I may have to make that post later. I should be getting ready for work right now. By the way, have any of you noticed the...

Several posters here at WS referred to his shirt as "parrot green," but they were talking about the shirt he was wearing on the video pictures from the convenience store he went into in Texas. Don't think he changed clothes during that night/morning on the Downtown Mall. As others have said...
