I always felt like Tylee most likely suspected something bad was about to happen. That poor kid didn't deserve any of the crap she was put through all of her life and she obviously didn't deserve to die and be disposed of like that. To me, it looked like Tylee wanted to please her mother for a long time, until it was just way too much for her and she started to notice something was really wrong with her.
 
Local update: MM is at the women’s detention center today
Thanks for the update! He seems to be there just about everyday. What in the world do they even talk about everyday? I’m sure this was talked about before but does Mr. Means stay in a rented house or hotel near Rexburg? Because according to google, his office is in Meridian (I would assume he lives near by) which is about 4/5 hours from Rexburg. That is a lot of traveling for him to do. I can’t imagine the cost of traveling with hotels or gas money. I wonder if Lori has to pay for his travels.

Yes, I posted about this back several threads back. Not sure who is funding the bills. I can only imagine how pricey the daily visits, filings, and court appearances are.

All jmo moo imo
 
Heard Scott R say last night that its really not the best practice for the clients of Means and Prior to not show in person at these hearings.

<modsnip>
Lori and Chad are probably relieved that they don't have to appear. They know they are universally hated.

Scott said that when all these motions are ruled on, its good if the judge checks with the client that they understand. Said something to the effect that this could be a reason for an appeal if a client says they were not told by their attorney what is going down and why.

So in preparation for tomorrow's hearing, I want to make sure I am understanding the current situation.

4/7 A status hearing was held and Prior mentions missing 30 items from discovery for the umpteenth time.
4/15 Wood sends a letter via email to Prior asking him to specify what he is missing, telling him he isn't getting TD's autopsy, and letting him know that a discovery update is being prepared to send "next week" with recently received items. He cc's Means and the Judge on the email and letter.
4/21 Wood sends the promised discovery update and indicates he is giving notice to Prior (and maybe Means?) that the state wants to use up a sample of DNA. This is a notice he must give per the law so that the defense can object and do what Prior does next.
4/22 Prior files the anticipated motions regarding using up the DNA and requests an expedited hearing for the motions.
4/22 Means files with the court "declared" motions saying "I'm with him" and points to Prior. He does not state the motions formally, just an unprofessional mention of joining with Prior.
4/22 Means also adds to his "I'm with him" declaration that he is making a "declared" motion to instruct Wood to stop cc'ing the Judge and states the exception to the laws for ex parte communications that actually allows Wood to cc the Judge legally. (smh)
4/23 Judge schedules a remote expedited hearing as requested by Prior for 4/28 at 9AM.
4/26 Prior sends to the court a notice of the hearing and that he will argue the dna motions at the courthouse on 4/28 at 9AM.
4/26 Judge reschedules the remote expedited hearing for 4/28 at 4PM.

I have a couple of questions here:
1. Why is the judge not scheduling Means for this hearing? Does it have to do with his weird thing about pausing all motions for LVD? Is it because he technically never made any motions? Is it because he didn't request a hearing?
2. What is up with Prior sending the notice of the hearing and declaring that it will be in person? Didn't the judge already send the notice of the hearing? Is Prior trying to tell the judge how to run HIS courtroom?
2a. What is up with the judge rescheduling the hearing for a remote hearing at a different time? Are Prior and the Judge having a pissing match?
3. When is the actual hearing?

1. - Yes, I hope this means MM is excluded from the hearing. That would be just deserts, but no doubt he'll find his way in.

2. - no idea.

3. Today at 4pm. Perhaps one of the parties had a scheduling conflict, or it looked like it was best to put it at the end of the day so that they could witter on if they need longer.

Does anyone have a live feed?
