That's the first thing I thought when I read it too. I don't think the prosecutor in that trial would have said that it was prison that caused his anti-social tendecies--I think he would say that things were off well before that. Although I doubt that prison helped the situation either.

That's kind of weird--wasn't there a description of Stephanie's clothing posted on the FB page?

I can't find the article right now, but one of the recent local articles that interviewed MH's mother quoted her as saying he did not get along with his older siblings (plural). I've seen an older sister mentioned, but maybe some of these are other siblings?

Yes, I listened to this when it was posted yesterday and it was *very* enlightening. It's obvious that Hoffman made a very strong negative impression on this prosecutor and that he remembered the case clearly as a result. It's such a shame that the judge didn't pick up on the same impressions...

I thought it was a different mother whose daughter rode home with him--I think there were three mothers sharing their stories in that piece (which made me believe it more than if it had just been Donna). But the point is still a very good one re Donna and her son--although the GF is the bigger...

Whoa, that's a strange piece of information! If that were true, it might mean that Sarah wasn't moved to MH's house as soon, possibly? Or that Stephanie was moved there too?

LOL. I wondered the same thing. Donna does sound like she might be embroidering some things after the fact (see above), but the children spending the night, the dogs disappearing, etc., that stuff sounds like it would be backed up by other people as well and less likely to be made up (like...

Wow! That is a lot more info on MH from the neighborhood. All the time spent with children is very frightening, and especially that 14-year-old girl! That family must feel sick right now. It's particularly telling that the ex-gf said to keep their children away from him. They must not have felt...

Yes, I would think she would have the most significant insight into what was going on in MH's head, but this must be a terrible time for her. I'm sure LE has been talking to her though. I wonder how long she and her son lived with MH? I worry about what an eight-year-old would have seen there...

What about his father? And were his parents divorced or did his father die?

Yes, I noticed that too and thought it was odd--especially because the dents are in generally the same place on both sides (behind the door), but one would assume that they were caused by two different incidents. But doesn't look like regular "fender-bender"-type car accident damage.

I see what you mean--especially if he recently had a live-in girlfriend with a young child. MOO

It is NOT illegal for children 12 and under to ride bicycles on sidewalks in NYC: http://www.nyc.gov/html/dot/html/bicyclists/biketips.shtml I think this is a tragic accident, but the NYTimes article I read about this case said that it was the *estate* of the 87 year old woman that was...

I'm SO glad to know this! I'll go take a look at the blog right now. I'm very curious to know what happened here!

I am very interested in finding out what the reasons could be behind dismissing this suit, which seems like an absolutely necessary response to Baker being convicted of murdering these poor girls' mother. It seems sadly suspicious that this suit was dismissed in Kerrville, and I would certainly...

I used to live in Missouri and I know they have had horribly backward laws regarding midwives for years--it only became officially legal to use a midwife for a birth in the last several years! Before that, you could have a home birth with a midwife, and while probably no one would prosecute you...

Done. Very easy and glad to contribute to the work they do.
