GUILTY CA - Shaun, 6, & Delylah Tara, 3, dead, 9 yr old tortured, Redding, 27 Nov 2015

I am so glad to hear this! I have been following this case since it started (their arrests) and have looked for info. I'm glad she is pleading guilty and waiving any appeals. Now, on to the other monster! I hope he gets the same sentence, and then some. Hope they get tortured in prison by other inmates.

Salinas child killer maintains her innocence 1 day after guilty plea

http://www.ksbw.com/article/salinas-child-killer-maintains-her-innocence-1-day-after-guilty-plea/19048571

KSBW interviewed Joy Huntsman 20 minutes after she talked with Tami Huntsman, who remains locked in the Monterey County Jail. She asked her daughter why she pleaded guilty, and Tami Huntsman replied that she "did it for the kids."

The prime witnesses in this double child murder case are children.

Despite the guilty plea, Tami Huntsman maintains she never hurt or abused the three Tara siblings.

“I never knew it was happening," she told her mother.

Joy Huntsman said, “I’m just glad it’s over,” and said she hopes her daughter's ex-boyfriend and co-defendant, 18-year-old Gonzalo Curiel, also pleads guilty, so the case does not have to go to trial.

The trial of a man accused of torturing and killing two children in Salinas will begin selecting jurors on Monday in Monterey County Superior Court.

Judge Pamela Butler on Wednesday ordered the jury selection process to begin for the trial of Gonzalo Curiel, 20. The jury trial is expected to last about five weeks.

I wish he would plead guilty as Tami did, so this young girl (who I won't name) wouldn't have to relive this terror in a courtroom, but doesn't look like that is going to happen. Stay strong brave girl!

No it doesn't look like it but he can still do a plea as late as now I think. Not 100% on that but I know in the Nicole Lovell case DH did a no contest plea through the trial but I'm not positive if a LWOP plea can be took.

its not as bad for female inmates. sure every once in awhile. when I worked there, an old lady who ran a home daycare where a child in her care died was working in the facilities office. she kept to herself and she didn't get beat up.

The ladies in prison will love her child abuse record. She will ( hopefully) sit in fear day for day on the mainline, in chow, and during rec time imo fingers crossed

My husband had jury duty for this case. He was called back but was not selected. Personally I'm glad because I could not imagine being present for the facts presented.

I wonder if they were able to seat a jury. They were hoping to have opening statements today. I haven't found anything about this. Any of you locals heard anything on the news there? TIA

The trial has started. Ughh...hard to read some of this stuff. Can't imagine what it was like for these children to go through it. The young girl found badly beaten didn't even know Shaun and Delylah were dead.

Thank you for posting updates BUF. I’ve been waiting for these two to get what they deserve. This case makes me furious!
