Found Deceased CO - Shanann Watts (34), Celeste"Cece" (3) and Bella (4), Frederick, 13 Aug 2018 *CW GUILTY* #45

I think that would be the smart move on part of the defense. What say you Gitana?

To be part of a guilty plea to first degree murder for all three? It depends how you look at it.

Public defenders consider avoiding the death penalty a win. They consider avoiding LWOP a win. And they often feel morally obligated to fight those sentences even if their guy is guilty.

Chris Watt's family was led up to the 3rd floor and left standing in this hallway under the exit sign. They were just led into the courtroom.

I'm seriously, sitting here shaking.

no live tweeting once court is in session. I don’t know if they will allow anyone to leave to report. I think we have to wait till the hearing is over.

 

[Amandaaa]

Yeah. And the defense didn’t want cameras because they were concerned about trial. If there was a plea, there would be no concerns.

There’s contradictory information here.

Actually, that’s one of the things that made me think it could be a plea

Prior forms referenced a “fair trial”
This one referenced “fair proceeding”

Maybe not a huge deal - except I know that for my purposes, I use stock forms and just change the specifics to fit the case - I wouldn’t change language like that. It would be consistent.

There were also a number of other strange things that made me wonder.

 

[gitana1]

Wow. If I’m not mistaken this is their first public appearance of any kind since the murderers. Maybe that’s also why the defense requested no expanded media in the courtroom, to protect his parents?

The judge was pretty clear in his ruling on the matter. He just said it's a status conference. Not an advisement or arraignment. So no expanded media coverage for pretrial hearings except those.

What plea would you anticipate?

 

[Amandaaa]

What plea would you anticipate?

Your guess is as good as mine.

At this early stage, something substantially less than the initial charges.

 

[zencompass]

If he agreed to plead guilty as charged I'd be so happy for Shannan's friends and family.

Dear Gitana1,

I will be so glad, as well, if Shanann's dear loved ones could be spared the additional heartbreak and suffering through a trial.
