Zippix, it's been an honor. You have always been wise and respectful, and you seem like a genuinely good hearted person. Thank you for being a voice of reason and support. You are one of a kind!

SteveS, you are a damn good advocate for CM. You are, were, and always will be appreciated. I hope you change your mind one day and return. I know I'm not alone in that thought.

Ben3000, That's the problem. Facts cannot be disputed. They are always objective whereas opinions are subjective. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but not to their facts. Facts cannot be possessed or owned by any one person; they are freely available to anyone who chooses to see them...

He owns no property except for his vehichle...ironically enough. For those sleuthers who feel this has been a challenging and distracting weekend, let's show some unity for CM on this one and finish the thought: What is significant about this particular piece of property owned by EA (clue...

The DSM 5 does address sexual deviancy and fetishes as an abnormal psychological condition. When a person collects sexually sadistic images, presumably because they find them arousing, there is a significant risk that the person may one day act upon those fantasies. I don't know if there are TX...

I want to correct my mistake in my original post. I included the section I am correcting in this post. In re-reading the document, the minor did not lie to EA's parents, but rather understood EA had lied to his parents about her age. She was put in the uncomfortable position of understanding...

First, I would like to apologize for my snarky response to your posts yesterday. It was immature, rude, and rightfully deleted by a forum administrator. With that being said, I wholeheartedly disagree with innuendos that the criminal justice system got EA's verdict and sentencng wrong. You're...

IIRC, she (along with EA) lied to EA's parents about her age; I've never seen a source that says she lied to EA though. Maybe I'm wrong and you can point me in the right direction. Sentencing testimony did, however, conclusively say EA lied to her about his age, which IMO, shows willful...

CountingCrows, I want to understand what you are saying in regards to "Ref5": are you implying that in order for a choking situation to be considered domestic abuse, or abusive, the choker must have intent to kill or seriously injur the person they are choking? I don't want to jump to...

I've got to say that I agree with you. I want to avoid hyperbolically labeling him in the midst of such shocking revealations, but in considering the deceit, the narcissism shown in the media interviews, the realized violence (of minor), the sexually explicit images involving the brutalization...

That would be fantastic. I don't know how these things play out but if you're speculating on it, then I trust it's a possibility. I have faith (or I just hope) EA's attorneys have seen the writing on the wall in regards to the risk of future charges and DP eligibility with the same level of...

I took a Profile of the Offender Psychology course a few semesters ago, which mainly focused on deviant/criminal behavior, but did cover some elements of the CJ system. It was a really interesting class and it changed my perspective on bench (judge) v. jury trials. There are exceptions, but...

BBM; very interesting. I never knew there could be a positive correlation between time spent on verdict deliberations and severity of sentence. Excluding extreme examples, I would have assumed any relationship as being purely coincidental, but this isn't something I'm familiar with. Anyone who...

That surprises me. I suppose I can wrap my brain around it: when one needs a defense attorney, there's an outsized need for trust and confidentiality. If a client can't fully participate in their own defense by giving their attorney the unvarnished truth on events as they know them to have...

Snipped by me to focus on question and subsection (d). I'm not a lawyer, but based on the statute and subsection's wording, EA would have to prove, by a preponderance of the evidence, that he voluntarily released CM in a safe place. I don't know what the legal definition for "safe place" is in...

I can only speak for myself and I don't presume my truth to be the same for any or all of the jurors, but I really hope it is. If I were a juror, I would follow the court's instructions to a T. I would not read anything pertaining to the case or search for information about the case. I also...

This is in response to SteveS’s sentencing poll question from the previous thread: If I were a juror, I would have had no problem finding EA guilty; I'm tremendously grateful 12 other citizens in Collin County agree. It’s just a poll question, but I took it seriously. When it was first...

That entire story is truly horrific.

DAAAAMMNNN, Orgona, you betta preach lol! I literally LOVE your post. Not just like, not just support, we're talking a standing ovation, in public, around my phone kind of love.

Please do not read any snark in this. I'm typing on phone and striving for brevity. This key pad is on my last nerve. 1-receipts in Dec. v. post it note in Sept. I understand you spoke about both, but I was only speaking to the post it note to help with date discrepancy. It probably would...
