About this CO case ... so he would have kidnapped ML a week ago and driven to CO? Definitely seems like grasping at straws. Anyone know how long it would take to drive from NSL to this location in CO? I feel for ML’s friends. They are doing their best. And the idea that their friend has...

Was hoping for some information but nothing. Ugh, well ... this sucks.

I’ll post my theory while we are at it. IMO she went to NSL to purchase something. I mean this in the most victim friendly way! Not to make this too personal, but in my much younger, pre-attorney college days it was not at all uncommon to buy and take adderall during exams week. It wasn’t...

Exactly. My crim defense atty friends say that they protect the innocent by defending the guilty. Gotta keep the govt in check. The moment the state doesn’t have to follow the rules to convict FD and other guilties, they won’t have to follow rules at all and can blame and convict whoever they...

NP is full of it. Grandstanding. Every lawyer does it to some extent. With the caveats that I am not a criminal lawyer and not licensed in CT - No, the state doesn’t have to share the evidence against FD with the defense yet. They will in the normal course of discovery prior to trial. What...

Haven’t caught up today. Any breaking news? I am trying my best to keep up!

Ugh. Disturbing messages from people on the internet?! What is wrong with people? Sorry, just had to vent as I just got caught up on Cynthia Hoffman. These poor women are so vulnerable.

Depends on when the atty allegedly asked for it back. By that time, I assume LE had obtained a warrant for a forensic download from the device. Of course NP is going to say LE stole it. But doesn’t sound improper based on the facts so far, voluntarily gave phone to LE (consent) and LE...

Consent is an exception to the Fourth Amendment re search and seizure. FD voluntarily gave his phone to LE. If you say “yes” and consent to a search (including search of electronic device), then police don’t need a warrant. A person can limit the scope of that consent and even revoke or take...

LE could travel to talk to someone if they wanted to talk voluntarily. There are very complex procedures to subpoena or compel testimony from witnesses in foreign countries who don’t voluntarily want to testify/produce documents etc. At least that’s my experience in obtaining discovery in...

Way behind but wanted to chime in and say YES. Agree. Back to catching up

Snipped and BBM I don’t think DeOrr Kunz and Dennis Martin have ever been found. Someone correct me if I’m wrong. They were a couple years younger than Serenity. Both allegedly went missing outdoors on camping trip (DeOrr) and on a hike (Dennis). So it does happen. In those cases and this...

Just a point of reference.... Johnny Cochran gave similar interviews re OJ Simpson prior to being hired to join the “dream team”

I believe I read he’s taking it on pro bono. I said earlier on in this thread, a high profile lawyer may take the case for the publicity. That’s what it looks like. And FD will probably sign over the right to allow the lawyer to write a book at the conclusion of the representation

Alter ego is a legal term which here means FD and Fore Group are one in the same. And thus there is an identity of interest.

Sounds like all of my cases. I’m a commercial litigator. Parties are probably exchanging documents and taking depositions. Some of my cases go on for 5-8 years. Under 2 years is rare.

I’m behind but answering as I go. I personally advise my clients about their demeanor in court, whether it be facial expressions or controlling emotions. I’m not a criminal lawyer so I don’t have to deal with clients responding to their families. To my knowledge, there’s no script as to what...

This case needs a VI in the worst way. I was so committed to finding Tyler but there’s ZERO new information. There is more to this story. There has to be! IMO

Yeah the excuse was that her and the kids were going to visit her dads grave . It was posted in an article early on. I’m lazy...

I believe he has. There was a poster early on. Never became a VI. But yeah. My heart is broken at the thought of other abused children. Edited to add: I wish there was a way to distribute fliers to gen pop in prison that say, “attention prisoners: guy who raped and murdered his baby niece...
