Wow that's very interesting info. So if you plea guilty with no plea agreement, you can still appeal. Maybe that's something involved here with RA's case? He won't (his lawyers telling him not to) sign a plea agreement, will only agree to plea guilty without signing an agreement so he still has an appeal track?

RA has not entered a guilty plea at this time. If he agrees to a plea deal, he can still appeal his sentence.

IMO there is nothing to be gained by him if he makes a deal.

I have never understood the idea of humiliating a victim via posing when the victim is deceased. Dead kids do not experience humiliation imo. I can understand though that he may have wanted to shock the searchers who would eventually find her.

I've never understood the idea of killing someone for any reason other than true self defense or accident. I just don't think we can try to understand the mind of someone that is willing to kill 2 young girls.. even if it was a sexually motivated crime.. WHY? I can't understand that at all. So I wouldn't expect to understand why that killer might also think in his or her mind that posing the victims would be the ultimate got you sorta thing. Nothing they have done to that point makes any sense either. Why abduct them? Why kill them? Why cover them at all? Why move them or stage them? It just doesn't make sense on any level I try to understand it on.

I think, these perps are completely depraved by their consumption of p**n. Nothing can be dirty enough for them. MOO

I think they also think about it for a long time. They imagine what it will be like to do this thing they have fantasized about for a while. They play it in their minds and I just don't think it ever really lives up to what they might have thought it would be like. Maybe things didn't go how he had imagined. He is mad at one or both of them because it didn't go perfectly as he had planned it out in his head. So he thinks I'll show them and in his mind this is humiliating them.. to get back at them for it not going as he wanted. I don't know it just won't make any sense to us because I doubt any of us here on WS have imagined doing anything like this.

This graphic from the link in the post that I replied to says on a guilty plea you can only appeal if the sentence is not set by a plea agreement.
