this bit by defense here is funny to me. Not ha ha funny but . . . defense attorney trying to suggest that there is some sort of extreme emotional upset that caused the sheriff to shoot the judge and he should only be tried for manslaughter but does not elicit or present any testimony that...

I can see kidnap and take being exchanged or misreported. they could both mean the same thing in the right context or have completely different meanings in another.

I would like to know about the first part of your post. I don't want to have to watch the hearing again to find the spot that discusses that employee. All I remember from that portion of the hearing was that they are not an elected or appointed official they are someone employed by the county...

yep, seems entirely possible to me.

that is the 100K question I think. Who is they and what were they doing or what did the sheriff THINK they were doing??

could be MS texted secretary (if that is who she was) to inquire if the judge had anything going on that afternoon or had time to meet with him. Secretary texts back nope he has nothing major this afternoon, tells judge MS wants a minute with you. So then the judge says Do you need to see me...

COMPLETE SPECULATION: What if daughter and or wife of sheriff had reached out to MS' long time friend and associate the Judge with concerns around his change in behaviors (taking down the sheriff dept FB page/being more quiet and uncommunicative), stressing over civil suit and depo, drastic...

I disagree currently about the extreme emotional defense bit. But I would like to get your thoughts on the bit Stines said about "they are trying to abduct kidnap my wife and kid" business and how that factors in to the idea that his motive (whether he was correct or not) seems to be about his...

Three cell phones in total are currently at a forensic lab being downloaded and will form part of the investigation. Chilling footage shows moment judge was 'shot dead by sheriff' so Stines Mullins, and unnamed female court employee

agree, she has every right to have a parent present if she is a minor. Each and every time. She is not a suspect, they have their suspect, with video evidence. They cannot compel the daughter to speak to them without her parent. MOO

I don't know what his client has or hasn't told him. JMO This was a prelim hearing. The questions he asked lead me to believe that is what he was fishing for, confirmation that some sort of reason for the murder exists and the daughter is it. But that may just be because that is what Stines...

so now two versions of this statement being reported. first was "he took my wife and kid". now "they are trying to kidnap my wife and kid" who stated this, was it in the hearing? Wondering if I fast forwarded past it. TIA

yep confirmed judge had Stines daughter's number in phone as we saw officer testifying to in the hearing. Didn't confirm or deny anything else. refused to confirm or deny what the nature of any relationship might be if one does exist. Simply referred to having questions just as the public...

good point. we don't really know what grade level she is in do we? She may have been in class, may have already graduated depending on where her birthday falls and whatnot.

prayers for Jathan Escobar, for his siblings and mama. Family praying for miracle after 6-year-old allegedly beaten by stepfather declared brain dead

I'm with you on this. It makes his actions even more egregious that he is THE law in Lechter county and he made a decision to commit murder. MOO

just getting back from lunch and trying to catch up. horrible to see that video but only further cements in my mind Stines was stone cold sober and committed 1st degree premeditated murder. Wondering what the stuff on the court employees phone reveals. Extreme emotional disturbance IMO does...

my question is, was she pulled out for "home schooling" because she was dead or pulled out so that abuse was less likely to be noticed by mandated reporters?

Their parents left the girls at home at around 11:15 a.m. that day, the older sister was babysitting the younger. A detective said the argument "stemmed from a note that was placed in the bathroom" about "flushing the toilet," The victim was reportedly stabbed multiple times with a butcher's...

paraphrased below because the article was too short to even snip two sentences: Taylor girl ambushed sister in bathroom after argument, fatally stabbing her This all started as an argument about flushing the toilet and escalated into an attack in the bathroom with two different knives...
