>>On March 5th JAG led authorities to the body of Amber. The one condition was they couldn't use that against him in court. But they could use crime scene information against him. There was not enough to prove beyond a reasonable doubt, apart from JAG's cooperation, to pursue charges of murder against him in Amber's case.<<
oh we so called that!
Despite the naysayers we knew there was only one person who could have led LE to Amber's body. I am soooooooo thankful that the double life sentence was imposed. Although the families would have preferred to have had the death penalty, they were wise to agree to the plea.
Of all murders, a woman whose brother was killed shared, only 40% come to trial; of that 40% only 30% result in convictions. I am so thankful that Tyler King and Chelsea's parents (and the DuBois family) will not have to live through the frustration of the legal mechanisms of death penalty cases.
I was thinking about the Van Dam's whose older son is now a senior in high school. Westerfield has an attorney and the required death penalty review has been in the planning stage for more than a year. It goes on and on....and the family continues to suffer.
Wow! I'm am really impressed with the manner in which LE handled this case. There were almost no leaks...despite the rumblings about Gardener's presence in the Pala area, very little else surfaced about the investigation.
Lots and lots to learn about this guy's mental state. Maybe the professionals can learn something to help them identify others who might explode.
