Hi born. I'm not defending Cooper, but he did at least testify in the custody case KNOWING it would all be used against him in the criminal trial. He did it anyway.Again, I don't know how this works in GA, but in the Cooper case, as I mentioned above, the sister of the deceased mother, and her parents sued the father for custody. He was eventually arrested and later convicted of the murder of his wife, the mother of the children, but he was not arrested at the time of the custody suit. The sister and maternal grandparents, who were Canadian citizens, won full custody. And they still have custody and his parents (the paternal grandparents), also Canadians, have visitation rights.
In AS's case, she asked a judge to delay all the civil trials until the criminal trial was over. It was granted.I don't know if that is a difference in states, or judges, or what is involved.
On my best days, when I am trying to give def attorneys the benefit of the doubt, I think using the custody case to put the defendant in a position of loosing their children, or loosing their criminal case is unfair.
