Without searching for the source, I seem to remember that it was stated that MCSO "reviewed" the video and found her giving these instructions. So I'm thinking they do have a copy of it, but my question is whether or not the funds set up by Sandy are legally accessible b/c they're in an irrevocable gift trust. There are rules re: the use of this kind of trust account, and I'm hoping that the video does exist and can be proof that those funds are actually hers vs what the fund rules allow, and maybe that will enable the Alexander's to recover them?
I don't believe the funds will be out of reach in an "irrevocable" trust, since they are in an account for Jodi's use. Not only that, the funds were designed on purpose to keep money from the Alexanders: this means the monies are not out of reach of law enforcement. If this weren't the case, well, the irrevocable trusts in our banks would likely outnumber regular accounts, since all the big buck criminals would be using them!
Any money that is available for Jodi to spend, would presumably be freed up for restitution.
Jodi may be getting paid to protect colleagues in jail/prison.
Jodi is claiming she's indigent at the same time her peeps are bragging about all the money she has in trust.
I'll bet there's some money laundering going on in her trust account: won't take long for LE to figure this out. AZ LE for sure is not going to like the idea of a restricted housing max LWOP inmate managing money on the outside.
If I were a business-minded attorney, no matter how unethical, I would not touch this case, since there is no guarantee that I would be paid. Any dollar that surfaces, is a dollar that will belong to the Alexanders. Unethical attorneys are usually aware of this kind of fine print: they may be sleazy, but no $$$, no case.
Plus, from the description of this trust, it doesn't sound to me as though it's irrevocable.
