Having nightmares of the Casey Anthony verdict. <shudder> It only takes one juror to hang the whole process and one influential juror to put that doubt into the others’ minds. I do think we could see another José Baez style defense so I just hope for smarter jurors.
Kidnapping is a serious felony, but only becomes a federal crime if state lines are crossed, I believe. You’re correct about the capital murder. Any death that occurs in the commission of a felony can be tried as capital murder. I think the hold up is researching the case to decide just what...
No, not Federal crime. Murders are almost always state crimes unless committed in special circumstances. I suppose LE could be investigating any evidence of a murder for hire or sexual exploitation of a child case, but that would just complicate a seemingly obvious capital murder case. MOO...
It said, “More charges are expected...”. Not more arrests. I think the DA is firming up his murder case and will be filing murder charges against MF in the coming days. Now that they know it really is Margo, they can go with a capital murder charge.
Dad (TC) says the DNA isn’t complete, or that he doesn’t know, but SC is going to pick Margo up tonight. I think that means the DNA is done and that SC is the father. MOO.
I can’t help but feel a little sick, thinking that Margo might be placed with a man who was content to allow SC to raise her and never (apparently) raised concern until all the drama/spotlight came about. I hope SC is biologically Margo’s father but what a sad cloud this uncertainty of...
Not arguing, but I’m assuming a license plate registered to MF was the lead, or something else very loose. This was when they said they didn’t know if HB had left of her own will or if there was foul play. When they got an address, they didn’t know what they would find inside. Could’ve been...
We don’t know how strong the lead was and a miss-step early in an investigation can completely invalidate any evidence that resulted. I think it was very sound detective/police work. All t’s crossed, etc.
My understanding (which is subject to change) is that when LE generated a lead to that address, their priority was getting inside immediately, so they had a family member (Tammy? SC?) request a wellness check - didn’t want to wait for a warrant. The CPS caseworker then requested Jersey City...
‘Wow and someone (MF?) already bought some of those things for her. Wash cloths, a snuggler, a teepee(?) I never thought I would see anything so disturbing.
Texas allows cameras *sometimes.*. All parties and the trial judge must agree to it and the cameras must not be a distraction. Cameras in the Court Guide (Texas-Wyoming)
