LE could be pursuing a theory or theories that they haven't conclusively tied down so "I don't know" technically would not be a lie. The defense is not trying to prove its case, its trying to find out the prosecutor's case and trying to pin down certain things so they can't contradict them at...

Do we even know if DW's PDS lawyers aren't white? Absurd. He fired his lawyer because he learned -- either by actually talking to the guy or because someone has been reading the press and reported to him or because someone in the jail clued him in -- that his lawyer was completely out of his...

You do not have to wield the bat. You just have to be a part of the plans to be convicted. If you tie someone up and someone else in your group kills them, thats murder. If you break and do the stealing while someone else does the killing, thats still murder. In this case it will be even easier...

if he didn't belong in the house, in other words if he broke in, thats a felony and he's guilty of felony murder if they prove the felony. Its not a matter of opinion, thats the law.

If you are part of a group that plans and executes a crime, your particular role doesn't matter as long as you did something to further the plans.

No, I'm pretty sure the charge is felony murder. The jury won't "expect" anything, it will be instructed by the judge on the applicable law. It is absolutely not a defense to say someone else had the bat.

I don't see where you are getting that the Chief lied. She's bee scrupulous. If they've changed their theory -- and there's no reason to think they have -- thats not lying. Plus the public doesn't have a right to know.

He doesn't need to prove DW held the bat, only that he was a part of the underlying felony, the break-in.

More than disbarred, he could be sued.

I've thought for a while that the theories implicating JW involved too many leaps of faith. I understand why they took a good look at him initially but its time to move on. This was a freaky, weird situation for everyone involved. There's no way to assume how a person would typically act...

Wasn't the registration expired? Maybe he saw SS toss it and fished it out of the trash. Look, I have registration to Mosler! Doesn't mean he murdered them.

Why are they going back to court? I wonder if this was the original hearing date and the reporter doesn't realize its been rescheduled for July.

His sister lived in Florida. She would have no way of knowing he didn't have a lawn crew there. I continue to think that if SS wanted to send a signal he would have been much less ambiguous. He had opportunities. I think he wanted to protect his wife and son. I also think the sister called the...

Except his job involved running errands for a very wealthy person. I don't think he was trying to make it seem like his. He posted pictures all the time of SS' cars he was driving.

We don't know that he knew Wint. There's been no direct link. And JW made a big deal about all the cars he drove. I don't think its strange since it was his job to drive the (impressive) cars.

The American Institute of Legal Counsel is essentially a company that you pay to say you got awarded by them. It just reenforces my feeling that Hanover is a fraud. As for obstruction of justice, they would have to show that justice was obstructed. Were his lies material to the investigation? I...

Nah, we aren't underestimating him. Aside from being fictional, the character Columbo was also quite experienced. The bumbling was schtick. This guy isn't bumbling. he just has no experience. And is foolish enough not to recognize it.

As badly as I want DW to be convicted, and I VERY much want him to be convicted (and am very confident he will be), its for some reason unsettling to me that he has such an attention-seeking, incompetent attorney. Maybe because this guy is going to get a lot of undeserved attention off a...

That article confirms how incompetent Hanover is. Relying on law from another state, either not reading or not understanding a critical email from the prosecutor, blabbing in open court about maybe pleading his client out, defensively trying to convince the reporter he's competent.

Well judging from this discussion there are a lot of people out there who think he's a murderer. I wouldn't want to expose myself to that.
