Yuppers, like the rabid dog he is. Too bad they couldn't just take him out back and shoot him.I can't see them dragging this much longer because Michael Jacques needs to be put down.

That's okay, for those of us who have followed these types of cases. If we have learned one thing, it's patience.
Wait, I do not have any patience!!! This has gone on way to long already.
lonetraveler this case is just horrendous. I have no idea what his defense team has to defend. The writing is on the wall. Then again it was with Casey Anthony and look at that miscarriage of justice.
I am hoping everyone comes forward for witnesses, including his sister that he impregnated and she ended up having an abortion.
The best part is the woman that married him knew all about his background even though she can lie and say she didn't because she did.And she went ahead and had his baby and well I could go on and on and on and on.
You would have to read all the way back. Disgusting!:banghead:
Oh, I've been a reader/poster on this case since it hit WS and I have read every disgusting news article and LE documents, arrest warrants, you name it. It is totally horrendous and he is a monster. I simply can't come up with a "defense" for this . All the defense can do right now is stall, stall, stall. They think that if they stall long enough, the death penalty will be taken off the table. His wife?.......................don't get me started on that one. The young girl who assisted in this murder....................don't get me started on that one either...............I nearly got banned forever on this case. I'm suscribed so that I will get to see any action going on..........glad to see that y'all are as impatient as I am. Maybe it is time.
Does anyone visit this site that is from the immediate area? I know (the cousin) graduated high school this year. I have friends in Vermont but they are a distance away from Randolph. Just wondering if anyone has the inside scoop on how they are functioning which last I heard was "normal" considering. Don't know what normal is seeing as they are a bunch of wackos.
I live in VT, not far from Randolph, and although I don't personally know anyone involved, I have heard that the girl who recently graduated from high school that assisted Jacques is pretty much living the "normal" life of any teenager her age.
MJ wants to move the trial to NY

MONTPELIER Citing public anger and death threats, lawyers for a man charged with killing his 12-year-old niece say in a new court filing that its impossible for him to get a fair trial in Vermont.
Defense attorneys say Michael Jacques has been the subject of so much press coverage and such vitriolic online posts that his trial should be moved to Albany, N.Y., to escape juror bias. In a motion filed late Thursday, they said Jacques and his lawyers have been the subject of calls for death since he was charged in the 2008 slaying of Brooke Bennett of Braintree.
------snip-----
Prosecutors have said they believe Jacques can get a fair shake in Vermont. US Attorney Tristram Coffin, Vermonts lead federal prosecutor, wouldnt comment on the latest defense filing when contacted yesterday. But in a response to the defenses original change-of-venue motion in May, prosecutors said it was premature to consider a different location. They said no ruling should be made until interviews of would-be jurors establish bias that cant be overcome. Fair juries have been seated to hear other high-profile cases in Vermont, the government contends.
In the new defense filing, Jacquess lawyers included 150 exhibits newspaper articles, online stories, television and radio broadcasts, Facebook pages, Twitter tweets, and blog entries to buttress their claims, many suggesting various modes for killing, maiming, or otherwise exacting revenge on Jacques, who has pleaded not guilty.

This is idiotic - they're using examples from the internet to say that he can't get a fair trial locally - huh?
Personally, I think the trial should be moved to Texas!
bdmama, do you think AR could be turning her life around with this criminal justice path? Perhaps helping people is what she wants to do now? Maybe helping abuse victims? I don't know these people so I have no idea.
ETA- I was just thinking of how many victims go on to work and dedicate their lives to stopping something they have experienced.
poppyfrock read #442 on the previous page here and it will explain the more delays. It was supposed to start September next month. Because Vermont does not have the death penalty and the goverment wants it as this became a federal thing because of kidnapping who knows when this will get underway but one thing I do know is it is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy overdue.
Unfortunately there is nothing good in this whole thing, nothing. I do not only blame Jacques but others also who were well aware of him and his past. And so far no one has payed the piper except Gagnon who is in prison.
I feel so bad because here is Brooke who dies a horrible death and not one person living in the state of Vermont that knew of this is being held accountable. They are all living their merry little lives like nothing happened. It is so sick.

I completely agree and did not mean to imply there could be anything good about what has happened. I think I was looking for a glimmer of decency in just ONE person in this family. Thank you for your informative reply. Jaques is the most disgusting and horrifying monster I have ever read about. Poor Brooke. It is BS that she was exposed to him and had to suffer at his hands.
I couldn't get over when Cassandra said "I can't be with my child 24/7!" Uhh, maybe you CAN'T, but you sure as heck can make sure your child is not around sex offenders. She knew he was a sex offender and still allowed her child to be around him. How brainless can you be? "I let my child go stay at a sex offenders house, BUT BUT BUT I can't be with my child 24/7." You shouldn't let your child around a sex offender PERIOD, even if you are with your child 24/7. But if you can't be with your child 24/7, then in my opinion, it is even WORSE that you allow her around a sex offender when you know you can't be there to keep an eye on her and keep her safe.
:furious:
If you can't be around your child 24/7 then DON'T send them to a sex offenders house. Better yet, don't send them to a sex offender's house ANYWAY, no matter what. The "there was always another adult there" excuse is lame in my opinion, because if a sex offender wants to attack someone he can still do it with someone else in the house. He can do it in the middle of the night when everyone is sleeping OR he could harm/kill/incapacitate any other adult in the house so he can do whatever he wants. And Cassandra obviously didn't care enough to MAKE SURE there was another adult around, anyway, since Denise was at work.
