As I mentioned above, they do this with pretty much everyone--in this part of Washington, anyway--charged with brutal crimes like this. We've had cases where low IQ and mentally ill people were charged, tried, and convicted, only to have the convictions thrown out on appeal. I'm sure the Kitsap...

It's only the IQ test that has to be done at Western State Hospital. The other tests are being done (or have already been done) in Bremerton. I have no doubt there's legal wrangling being done to delay the process and keep him in our out of certain facilities for safety reasons. However, I don't...

It sounds like they might have been scheduled but then never moved forward because they didn't know where to put him. (Or his lawyer might have said, "You're not putting him in the adult section, are you?") Or maybe they were never scheduled. Your guess is as good as mine!

It was a head nod, not a statement, so I guess they're saying it's open to interpretation? I totally understand why everyone's so frustrated with the delays and such. I'm right there with you. However, I'm telling myself that the Kitsap County prosecutor is just being extra careful with this...

They answered this in the Kitsap Sun article. They keep updating the article, so you probably missed it. There's a backlog of people to evaluate and they're not sure how to house him since he's a juvenile. They're doing what they can in Bremerton but the IQ test has to be done in Steilacoom...

Right, that's what I said. I never saw anything in the news that said he was being taken immediately after his first court appearance to Western State, which is why I said it's difficult to say when he got there. If there was such a statement, I apologize for misleading. My understanding is that...

He will probably be flagged as being at a different facility until he turns 18 (later this year, I believe). It says on the KC Jail website that juveniles can't be held in adult jails and prisons in WA. They have to be held in juvenile detention facilities until they reach adulthood. It's...

I'm not disagreeing with you--I think he will plead guilty. It's odd that the maximum possible sentence would be considered a plea deal though. Maybe they're dealing something else, such as moving to a facility closer to where his family moves.

He's a minor so he can't get the death penalty. Even still, there's a moratorium on executions in Washington until our governor leaves office. When they booked him on suspicion of murder 2 and manslaughter, they hadn't interviewed him yet.

According to this article, he's only being booked as a minor for 2nd degree murder, 1st degree manslaughter, and 1st degree rape. Another article said they're still not sure what the COD was. Given the way similar cases in this area have gone, by the time he's charged and/or COD is determined, I...

I think most of us figured this: http://tdn.com/news/state-and-regional/washington/police-father-not-a-suspect-in-toddler-s-death/article_67ec805f-e999-5c87-b271-2ef076ae0747.html

This isn't an argument for or against your scenarios. I just wanted to say that in WA we have both restraining orders and orders for protection. Restraining orders are granted in many, many divorce cases and protect both sides equally. They don't necessarily indicate violence in the home. An...

I truly believe the son was making a flip comment about the cult possibility that was, unfortunately, quoted and re-quoted so many times that it's taken on false significance. That interview with the son was so early on in the investigation that I don't think he knew much of anything more than...

I just saw on the news that they found him here in Washington. No word on where. http://www.kirotv.com/news/news/radio-icon-casey-kasem-found-washington-state/nfxFZ/

What's wrong with going to a Lady Gaga concert? Was she supposed to stay home in anticipation of her FIL being found murdered two days later? We're not supposed to sleuth family members, guys.

I don't see where that says he was wearing pajamas and/or a robe and was decapitated with a clean cut. Am I blind?

Assisted suicide is legal in Washington and Oregon so if CK is able to communicate in any way, he would not need to be taken out of the country for that. There are definitely people who think this would be the case so I can see them trying it. (It's been attempted before.) However, Indian...

We don't know for sure there was a gunshot wound. He could have been hit in the head. All we know is that they think it was some sort of head trauma that caused his death because there were no injuries to his body. Even that COD is subject to the toxicology report.

I shared the picture today.

It could be as simple as Mr. Dermond being killed outside the garage and then dragged inside.
