I echo some others, it’s been almost 3 and a half months since the Prosecutors met with Summer & Zulema. We know that Zulema was offered (and apparently finalized some details of) some use ammunity; and we know the State said more charges were coming and their case was very strong.
More charges still haven’t been filed. I’m sure Summer and Lori have talked multiple times since the beginning of October, after this meeting took place, and I guess, at this time, knowing Zulema was offered some form of immunity was not enough for either Chad or Lori to flip on the other, or for either to talk to the State (and admit to anything that one would reasonably believe would have resulted in more charges afterwards).
I’ve been skeptical of the state having a “very strong case”, both because more charges have still not been filed, both of them have been in custody for months, and little if anything seems to have changed after this October discussion. I remain hopeful, but I think there’s a dynamic at play when you have, as an example, one defendant still free and under surveillance on the outside & one in custody; they’re both in custody and have been, so that type of dynamic is no longer at play here. And I think if the State has what they needed, the more serious charges would’ve been filed by now.
