Hello Sleuthers, at least we now have a trial date set, and the death penalty off the table . Given that Bibb County has not out anyone to death in a long time this was a smart move. Early headlines indicated this was the Giddings' decision, and I think that is partly true. Cooke knew he could get things moving quicker and is much more likely to get a conviction this way. He came under some criticism for abiding by the wishes of the family instead of the wishes of "the state" . That is hogwash . The family has a lot more skin in the game than "the state" (I just realized that's probably an awful pun). Anyway, I do know that McD was repeatedly given the chance to get the DP removed if he would confess and reveal where the rest of LG's body was. Hogue knows he holds all the cards and said, "uh-uh, nice try" I have said all along unless they have McD on video chopping her up there was no way they would get the DP. Given what we can reasonably presume from the rumors regarding the forensics, not sure a guilty verdict is a certainty any more.
