My point was that I don't think Mr. Camblos is regretting accepting JM as his client. I absolutely agree that he should advise his client to take a deal, if it were to be offered.

You are absolutely correct. Unfortunately, it being at Liberty makes everyone a bit more suspect on the "truth," but that's not the victim's fault at all. Either way (whether through consensual sex or rape), I think the point that was trying to be made was whether this was a "turning point" in...

I disagree. Knowing what I do of Mr. Camblos, I think this case will be great for him, as it's a case in the national spotlight. Based on the evidence that we, the public, know right now, it's going to be very difficult to prove murder. Right now, there's too much circumstantial evidence that...

Exactly. Right now, many of his friends (close friends as well as acquaintances) are coming to grips with the reality and severity of the situation -- and most of us are doing it quietly, because the public doesn't want to hear what we have to say.

Yup -- I remember a few years ago (heck, probably about seven years now), seeing one of the high school students with a pretty badly bruised face. When I asked one of the teachers what had happened, she said that this girl had gotten involved in one of the local gangs where she was made to...

Unfortunately, this is because Charlottesville doesn't like to talk about anything that might sully its reputation as an idyllic place to live. However, there has been gang activity in Charlottesville since I was a kid, and it's only gotten worse. As of 2014, there are 16 confirmed gangs with...

Ahh...so before high school. Interesting. Ok, thanks!

How do you know that? As far as I know, they moved after his parents divorce and he switched schools because the new high school was built and he was redistricted.

Well no, I didn't ask every single person on the cheer team, if that's what you mean. Or am I misinterpreting?

Yes -- posted last night. Every friend I've talked to who was on the cheer team had never heard anything of the like until the past few weeks, so we're all thinking it might be internet rumor (or, of course, something that was REALLY well covered up).

If it's my theory (which it is), I think you hit the nail on the head...it would've been all about HIS perception -- not necessarily reality.

His closest friends have been advised by counsel to remain silent.

The AM case was potentially different. We don't know what they found in his car, but in RAT's trailer, they found AM's blood, fingernails, and bits of her hair/scalp. That's how they were able to find RAT guilty of murder. Depending on what they found in JM's car, it is going to be very...

If we say that the average temperature was 24 C, then decomp would happen in 54 days. However, this formula doesn't take into account bug and animal activity, which would rapidly speed things up. JMO.

Agreed. Something obviously isn't clicking. But is that arrogance? Stupidity? Psychopathy? IDK.

I'm pretty sure he would've signed them...that being said, they're all in storage in SWVA so I can't look to see. I do know he signed all my best friends' year books, so I'd be surprised if he didn't sign mine, too. EDIT: Thanks for the kind words. It's a shock, yes, and I question some...

I agree with all this. Of course, I'm not looking for a way to excuse any possible violence...just interested in looking for explanations. Another theory I've been tossing around in my own head is that the 2002 allegation might not have been a true assault. Having lived in the area of LU for...

I've been wondering this myself -- perhaps CTE?

MO is that there was money/future in football...not so much in cheerleading. Both sports are the same season, so you have to choose one.

Ok, just heard back. The answer is decidedly "no." None of the cheerleaders ever heard any stories like that until just the past few weeks -- they have no idea where that rumor is coming from. He was definitely on the cheer team, but I don't know for how long or why he stopped cheering.
