CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, found deceased, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 *Arrest* #54

I hate to say it but I think LS did in a rage and then gaslit him to believe the situation was just as much his fault. She probably realized pretty quickly how bad that would look when he told AS how it happened and she had to come up with a plan that also satisfied her resentment
JMO

That's what I was afraid of, that LS burned him. I know she ended up doing much worse, but still . . . horrific to burn a child as a punishment or in anger. (If that is what she did.)

 

[alexwood]

I'm getting my commentary here . . . haven't been watching. I always find I get the best information right here at WS! (Thanks everyone!)

 

[Truth Prevails]

This is her rising for the jury at the beginning and rising for the jury at the end.



This is what we saw of her during opening statements. Hiding. She gave Gannon nowhere to hide. IMO

 

[Kiranerys]

She may turn out to be a very good witness for the defense, which is going to be hard for me to listen to. Of all the people scheduled to testify, it could well be H. who is the most convincing on the topic of whether her mother is insane or has DID or whatever they're going to say (defense does not have to proffer a diagnosis, just keep maintaining that Tee is insane).

I'm hoping the fact that Michael Allen specifically mentioned that we would hear from both Harley and Letecia's brother, the people who know her best and drove with her across the country, that their testimony won't be in Letecia's favour.

I can only get on her when I have a few minutes every now and then.
But this?!
This?!!
You are kidding me!!
How dare she say this!!!

 

[Love Never Fails]

Yes she was. In a flowered frock. She even stood for the Jury.
Kept her face covered most of the time with her hands.

Thank you. She should plead guilty. But she wants Gannons loved ones to suffer.

Video:
Prosecutor Michael Allen told the jury that evidence shows Letecia Stauch stabbed Gannon Stauch first and that he had defensive wounds. Allen said that Stauch then beat the boy, crushing his skull, and then shot him three times.

*Ugh! How could she be so evil?

oh my! She burned him? Then stabbed him? Then beat him? Then shot him? I didn’t know all she did. She does not deserve a trial. She’s hateful. She deserves to be burned and stabbed and beaten and then shot in the head. I’m angry.

Exactly! Like I said, how f'ing dare he?. I know everyone is entitled to a defence, even Letecia, but that? That was absolutely disgraceful and I hope he feels like he needs a good shower.

And thats the whole point. SHE thinks she can esacape a mental institution!!!

 

[Smelly Squirrel]

"I'm just worried about my burns."

Today was the first time I heard those words.

My heart.

And as soon as he said that, she shushed him.

This trial is already so emotional, so enraging and devastating, can't imagine being the family watching this.

Yeah, when you don't know what you're doing and you drive 1,300 miles -- without having an accident -- Oh, right, totally insane . . .

And the poor little guy was crying on the video. Didn’t Harley hear him cry? Laina? This will forever hurt their hearts!

 

[Dre]

Forgive me, but she reminded me of the ghoul from The Ring movie.

"I'm going to stop now because I'm running out of steam" translation "I've got nothing!"

Bam!!
That was an uneducated statement to make.

I think he meant to say, "hot air."

Think of it…Cook said she “stabbed him dozens of times”.
That’s premeditated.
That’s knowing right from wrong.
That’s abuse in the worst way.
That’s a devil pretending insanity.
She is evil. EVIL.
Makes me sick that Al trusted that woman!

 

[alexwood]

This judge has the best voice.

I really like this judge.

“There is no motive,” Cook said, showing jurors a photo of Gannon and Letecia Stauch smiling together the day before he was killed. “There is no reason. It doesn’t make sense. It’s insane. A smiling photo, and the next day, Gannon is gone. No reason for it.”

*This photo? Sounds premeditated to me.

 

[MsMarple]

No motive? Seriously? Has the defense not read paragraphs 141/142 (pp 22) of the arrest affidavit chronicling some of LS's Google searches?

A few excerpts:
My husband's ex-wife does nothing for her kids
I wonder if my husband's ex-wife is sending me a card since I raise her kids.
One day some people will wish they had treated you differently.
Son is sick but I have to go to work.
Police steps for our runaway.
Can Nintendo find my Switch.

Sorry defense but jealousy, resentment and rage do NOT equal insanity. Is it any wonder it's been so hard to find a jury who can remain impartial? This is on the brink of being a mockery. JMO.

 

[Warwick7]

If this fake story line is allegedly her past....
What in the blank was she doing being a school teacher?!!
Give me a break.
She was well aware of her surroundings and she was pi$$Ed at Al.
Didn't he find someone else??
She was tired of babysitting.
Plain and simple she wanted revenge!
Ugh!!!
