Yes! We add IMO or MOO.. or some other indication that it’s opinion and not fact that’s missing a source.Hi! I am new here. Have watched this case from the jump. So much was revealed just watching the families on SM. This trial is troubling to me. I am not impressed with any of the attorneys to far.
I am dumbfounded that the police did not luminal that trailer! The jurors will need something concrete. Looking forward to read through and see what everyone thinks.
Is it ok to post what you personally think what happened?
Thank you!!!!Yes! We add IMO or MOO.. or some other indication that it’s opinion and not fact that’s missing a source.
Also- welcome!! Glad you’re here![]()

It is hard to hear. I am glad to see a group take the time to supply the transcripts of at least the police interrogations. I wish we could get daily trial transcripts.Thank goodness. Was impossible for me to hear!
ARE YOU JOKING?!For some reason I had forgotten the rumors until Bell's mother confirmed on the stand the other day that these two here be procreatin' first cousins.![]()
ARE YOU JOKING?!
well, of course you’re not
But that’s absurd!!!
SMDH
So, yes, by Hamby’s testimony, she is both the mother of Cortney Bell and aunt of Christopher McNabb – making them cousins.
But, as she also noted, she did not raise her daughter. Bell’s father, Tim Bell, testified this week as well that Hamby was not around throughout Bell’s childhood.
He put the total number of times Hamby interacted at all with Bell until she was a teenager at about 20.
“Pam never bought her a piece of bubble gum,” Tim Bell said Tuesday.
Tim Bell said he “didn’t know Chris and Cortney were related until after they were together.” It’s not apparent they did, either.
Tim Bell also implied McNabb at least at one point went by a different last name, Black, which added to the confusion.
