Annnnnd never knowing her cell phone was tapped.I'm so happy former FBI Johnny Grusing will return on Friday! We learned so much from him on cases here including the behavior of defendants Mark Redwine and Barry Morphew and how their stories changed to fit the evidence.
Similar to these defendants, LS can't help herself. LS was almost giddy when she believed she had an edge-- similar to her confidence about the polygraph she was going to pass -- until her scheme failed and the fake polygraph exam she attempted to purchase did not come through. Losers are, well, losers. JMO
Are you referring to the bed not being against the wall in the photos she took the morning of the day she murdered him? We see him later that day walking to the truck and we know the police say the murder actually took place in the afternoon. So if the blood and the clean-up all took place after the attack, then the bed is not pulled out in connection with that.Can someone give me their take on why she moved Gannon's bed(s) and what the blood splatter showed about where LS might have been standing?
I think this version of events in terms of Sunday night with the candle and burns and blood- is probably the closest thing to the truth of any story she's told. Obviously there's hints of truth to every made of story/version/excuse/lie she's told but reading that, makes me think that's more honest than the rest..if that makes senseyoutube = IHtlVtHuEzc

"...and I realized that Gannon actually he had like marks like on his arm and they were actually like peeling at that point

and I didn't, I didn't, I swear I did NOT realize that they had, I don't know if like, they start like, cuz burns are sitting there, and they started peeling like overnight or whatever. ..."

"...So then I was freaked out cuz I didn't know that his arms were like that. So I'm like crying. And this is where I have to start telling you, like you know, like very ...(pause)... I was scared. My thought process was ...(pause)... Albert is going to kill me like because I made a mistake as a parent (crying). He really got a little more burned than he should have. I was freaking out. And Gannon's like "It's okay,". And there's blood on his arm and as it was peeling. (crying ends) I didn't call the hospital and just ask. I don't know enough about burns. I I, should have called the hospital. I made a mistake. I swear to you all I didn't know they were that bad. I didn't know. I feel horrible. Here I am, I know it's not about me. But as a person, I feel horrible that I didn't call Albert to say they're like this. ..."

It's just my opinion JMO, but this is NOT the word salad associated with mental defect. Wikipedia has an example under clanging speech. LS is just a liar searching for what to say to keep her obfuscating statement going. We know this is all lies from her, attempts to evade.
I was thinking about this while traveling today. Why, why would she keep stalling AS on the adoption? Thats really something she could rub in Laden's face, yet she doesn't.I don't think there's any evidence AS wanted to immediately adopt HH. I'm not sure where/why OP inferred this.
IMO, LS's reluctance about adoption was most likely financial since her minor daughter would be receiving social security death benefits from her deceased father (as opposed to child support).
By all accounts, it appears AS treated HH as his daughter and supported her -- HH's Jetta vehicle was financed by AS. MOO
Yes, it has crossed my mind----the only way for HH to receive ss death benefits was if her bio dad dies.I totally missed that HH's bio dad died less than 4 months before AS & LS married. That's a lot to process.
I'm not so sure LS, at the time in her early 30's, would have received SS when her divorced spouse died. I'm not sure why as "a mother" she'd get money. The $255 one-time death benefit wouldn't go to a divorced spouse who is not living in the same household as the dead ex. (Maybe HH could have gotten that.)I was thinking about this while traveling today. Why, why would she keep stalling AS on the adoption? Thats really something she could rub in Laden's face, yet she doesn't.
It only comes down to the ss death benefit HH was receiving.
Edit: LS as the mother, would also have received a small ss death benefit. That ended when she got married.
Alrho divorced my mother received one along with us daughters.
Presplaining again, to AS, to HH, by putting up the video, to LE... She was trying to get out ahead of the evidence, the way she has this entire case.I find it curious..... If LS would have never said anything about burns on GS no one would be the wiser.
Autopsy couldn't reveal there had been any burns.
(BBM) This has been my exact thought as well.If I were a juror, Letecia’s behavior in the courtroom would make me think she is completely sane. Everyone who knows her has testified that they have never seen any behavior that indicates she is insane. IMO, if she wants to convince the jury that she was insane when she killed Gannon, she should act completely normal, cry at appropriate times, etc. If I saw her acting like a normal person should during the trial, I’d be more inclined to believe she had a one-in-a-billion attack of insanity and killed Gannon, since no one has ever seen insanity in her before. It’s too obvious - trying to act insane (or extremely odd at the least) in front of the jury, with her just assuming no one has deductive reasoning skills.
When HH testified, didn't she say her bio dad died of OD? (maybe a suspicious death?)Yes, it has crossed my mind----the only way for HH to receive ss death benefits was if her bio dad dies.
Let that sink in.
That LS might kill again and that you think LH was in grave danger is horrifying and hadn't occurred to me, but I can't argue completely against it. She seems to have no self-discipline to know when to stop something (Gannon or the post-Gannon lies). The only thing that I might wonder about is whether another murder would be pre-planned, because I'm not sure that the initial step with Gannon was. So for another murder, it would probably be another impulse out of control and then spiral from there. JMO.
Except ,why did she need a photo at all? We keep getting sucked in , All we need a a factual recount of the day. That is it.Are you referring to the bed not being against the wall in the photos she took the morning of the day she murdered him? We see him later that day walking to the truck and we know the police say the murder actually took place in the afternoon. So if the blood and the clean-up all took place after the attack, then the bed is not pulled out in connection with that.
That begs the question of why it's not against the wall. Why did she pull it out? There's much speculation about that. Some believe it indicates a prior attack, one that might be connected to the candle incident.
My personal opinion is that she moved the bed out in order to adjust Gannon and the blankets for the photo. She needed to hide his burns, and make it look like he's sleeping peacefully. With the desk/table on the other side, I think she rushed around, moving the bed out without even thinking about it, so she could go up and adjust the covers, maybe put his hand up where it is. She then went to the bottom of the bed to take the photo, focused on him, and missing the fact that the bed is no longer up against the wall.
At that point in time, I don't think it being pulled out would have occurred to her as any kind of issue. Her plan was to take him out in the truck and let him die from the drug overdose she'd given him, and then dump his body somewhere. I don't think her plan was to kill him in his bedroom. Hence, she wasn't thinking of where the bed was when she took the photo: just focused on showing him alive and well in the morning.
Sometimes the explanation is as simple as that.
At this point, I don’t know if I am the OP for sharing that quote or not. But if I am, I only posted it cos the emotion in Al’s voice struck me, and it was new information to me - I thought it might be to others as well.I don't think there's any evidence AS wanted to immediately adopt HH. I'm not sure where/why OP inferred this.

It was stated in court he did. Not trying to make a hero of him or anything ,but it is court record he felt that way.At this point, I don’t know if I am the OP for sharing that quote or not.

I wasn’t trying to infer anything. Frankly, I have no clue what went on in that house, I doubt any of us ever will, and I’m really only concerned with the matters of what happened to Gannon.
I didn’t mean to infer anything at all, I have no opinion on Al wishing to adopt HH or not. I just thought it was interesting to share.
As always, just here for Gannon
Very much my opinion only, but I think it was a trophy.Except ,why did she need a photo at all? We keep getting sucked in , All we need a a factual recount of the day. That is it.

BBMI'm not so sure LS, at the time in her early 30's, would have received SS when her divorced spouse died. I'm not sure why as "a mother" she'd get money. The $255 one-time death benefit wouldn't go to a divorced spouse who is not living in the same household as the dead ex. (Maybe HH could have gotten that.)
But there's no evidence, and I mean none, that LS had anything to do with her ex's death in Ohio. At that time she was in SC in a presumably hot and heavy relationship with AS & they married less than 4 months later. She had divorced her ex a few years before that.
Adoption wouldn't have stopped HH's SS benefits either. She had already qualified for those and AS adopting her would have made no difference in that regard. I've posted a link a few times.
