No kidding. Do you think Jhessey was deceased all that time she was out of school?
I love this post.
Count me in as "a lady in waiting"!
Gosh and the argument was this was "so high profile" live streaming was an issue. This makes me so very sad. What poor Jhessye went thru is devastating. I wish this case had more attention. Sigh.....
The coverage of this trial has been practically worthless. A few tweets here and there and not a single decent article. I'm going to complain to AZ Central.
Beautiful butterfly princess...to almost springtime here in PA. The butterflies will be out soon.
April 1st is Jhessye's birthday. She should be picking out a cute dress, waiting impatiently to unwrap barbies, crayons, stuffed animals, and all of the other things she has been putting on her birthday list. Eating ice cream, maybe going bowling with her siblings and friends.
I hope this is the last of Jhessye's birthdays that Jerice can call herself a free woman.
Sadly no. I do not think she was dead the whole time she was missing school. I believe she spent several days in that closet, slowly starving and dehydrating, drawing on scraps of paper, alone in the dark, trying to pass the time and keep her sanity, I cannot get past those little scraps of doodles that were found by LE. I think they say how she spent her time, hour after hour, trying so hard to be hopeful, that this would end soon and she would come out of the closet.
I think she died a slow slow torturous death. I do believe she was dead by by the beginning of October. And once her body began to smell, she had to get her out of that small apartment and begged her ride from the neighbor friend to dispose of the body like the trash she always viewed Jhessye as.I am sorry but simply typing that made be cry.
I am so sorry no one saved this precious joyous child from this :censored: It is really hard, even now, after all these years to really ponder what she went through in that closet, hunks of her hair and scalp ripped out, the object of all her mother's years of pent up rage.
I also agree that the coverage sucks. I expected better of media who hangs on every nuance in the "other trial".
Many thanks to geevee and others who keep us updated with tweets and links.
I added some updates, what I could find. If anyone sees pics in articles, and I have missed them, please alert me so I can add it to the archive.

The jurors heard 911 calls from Hunter made the day she reported her daughter missing. They also heard Sgt. Mark Lankford testify that nearly a month after Hunter said Jhessye disappeared, she called 911 again.
"The defendant was stating that the money that was being raised for Jhessye Shockley, she was not receiving it," Lankford said

‘There is no body. There is no proof she is dead,’ said Shoemaker, who offered no alternative theory on what became of the child.
Shoemaker said two people saw Jhessye at her apartment complex within hours of the report of her being missing.
The defense attorney also told jurors to take a hard look at the upcoming testimony of Jhessye's older sister, who is now 17.
The teen didn't allege abuse when she first spoke to police, Shoemaker said. The sister was in charge of Jhessye when she disappeared and changed her account because of guilt, the attorney said.
While in foster care after Jhessye's disappearance, the oldest daughter was isolated from her siblings and ‘started to internalize those feelings,’ Shoemaker said.
The 911 call is roughly seven minutes long. Hunter sounds panicked and desperate, but prosecutors argue it's all an act. They say her behavior leading up to the day she reported her daughter missing is paramount in this case.
"Thank you. Hello, hello, hello, I need an officer at my house. I can't find my daughter," Hunter told a 911 dispatcher.
i swear, I know I posted here last night but other posts have not shown up in other threads. I am here, awaiting justice for this beautiful beloved little girl who was ripped from the loving family who raised her since birth. I am appalled that there is not more coverage of this trial. My heart breaks for the family who raised Jhessye so lovingly. Their love for her shines thru in all of the beautiful pictures of Jhessye.
