spend some time with kids and hubs this evening and while I was gone as per usual I am now playing catch up. Please forgive if I am commenting on things that have already run their discussion course, feel free to ignore.
There is a discovery process that has to be followed and abided. The prosecution has to turn over reports (police, testing, etc) but not the product of their work (ideas, strategies, etc). I think tomorrow's hearing is just for probable cause for the charges. And bail...
Yes all of that will come but not tomorrow IMO. That will come if the magistrate decides this case can move forward on the charges currently applied against Ross Harris. Things such as discovery will come later in the trial process and the judge assigned will enter an order as to deadlines for such disclosures MOO - not familiar with GA law.
According to one attorney on CNN - he thought there was already enough out there to proceed. The threshold at the point is quite low - he said they often say, "Do you have a breathing body? OK - proceed" .... but he did say they *might* show video - he implied from the HD parking lot or such.
He also expected that he magistrate judge would probably allow bail over the objection of the prosecutor.
Just 2 things I heard over Sirius radio driving to dinner tonight.....
I agree with talking head. They have enough to proceed. I do not expect bail but if one is granted it will be SO high. JMO
rsbm; some people do not like to admit they were wrong, duped, or oblivious. some also like living in denial; it's easier
imo
Some just cannot allow themselves to belive they were wrong as you say, but those who think they know and who love Justin Ross Harris are in a much more difficult place. I have thankfully never been in a position where someone I think I know. deeply, and love or even know in passing, has been accused of a horrific crime and ultimately murder and yet was sure I KNEW that person as someone completely other. I cannot imagine how horrible for those folks.
I think as soon as they dropped the child abuse charge from 1st to 2nd degree that they had enough to proceed.
I tend to agree.
Interesting, thanks!
I can understand where each of them (except the lawyer) are coming from -- ok, I can understand where he's coming from too but I'm more interested in opinion than legal/lawful/court-admissible evidence right now... yes I know that's what ultimately matters, but I'm trying to see everything...
That being said, there are certain things that Ross is NOT quoted as saying or doing at the death scene.... such as apologizing to Cooper upon realizing he's dead -- he makes a production of yelling "What have I done?" but he separates himself from Cooper and doesn't apologize at the death scene.
He apologizes to the funeral-goers for not being there -- he never apologizes for the act (even if accidental) and he makes a remark, "[Cooper] never did anything to anybody"... why would he say that? Did anyone or would anyone think Cooper did anything to deserve this?
This tells me that he's either incredibly guilty OR incredibly innocent and was NOT the one who placed Cooper in the car that day....
I can buy him having a different definition of "unattended vehicle" -- but outside of that, he's either covering for himself or someone else.
I won't criticize LHs funeral comments because after days surrounded by loved ones, avoiding media, planning a funeral, and knowing your husband & father of the child is in jail, anyone could be manic/loopy/anything .... and say anything.
The searches... specifically what, when, and by whom will be very telling, I think.
Agreed. I have no idea how I would act on the scene, but I was not him and I was not one of the many witnesses, LE and citizen alive. I have only those accounts and MSM to go on but his behavior raises red flags for me. Her, not so much. I think she is a very supportive spouse and I cannot even begin to judge her what I found unusual behavior at her son's funeral. My heart breaks for this mother who has lost her son and more than likely lost her husband, the leader of her family.

I honestly don't think that the searches are going to sway anyone who's convinced of his guilt that they were done innocently. I honestly can't think of a search that wouldn't be viewed as incriminating or, at absolute best, neutral. I can, however, see the exact searches swaying people to guilty. jmo
I think the searches will depend greatly on when, what words or strings of words specifically were searched and whether any other searches support this being a fear or concern coming from another case in the news etc. Personally, I feel the searches look really bad. But I am open to hearing or seeing evidence that puts them into context of some sort. Not pretty talk from an attorney that is never substantiated with anything hard or concrete, but actual evidence disputing what seems extremely damning from here, now.
I used to live down the street from one of the lawyers involved in her fiancé's murder trial. Anything I have to say about her needs to go downstairs. lol
Let me know where and when and I am there, lol
JMO I don't think a "reasonable" person would have forgotten their child in a car after having been overly concerned about that very issue and after having had a "premonition" that Cooper was with Jesus. Thats all I need to know.
It
all stinks,
from the get and nothing that has come out since makes it any better MOO.

I haven't seen one. Do you remember where you saw it?
Haven't either. Would like to.
