Someone a few pages back asked why the death penalty was not on the table (to to speak). There may have been a deal for a long jail term for the boyfriend if he confessed, turned on the junkie babysitter, and led LE to the body. With a body, a confession, and a witness, they can prosecute the junkie sitter easily.

The person who gave birth to Jada (let us not sully the word "mother") should lose the rest of her kids for leaving this baby with a teenage junkie.
 
I hope they all take a little trip to the big one..poor baby Jada! may your final sleep be peaceful! god rest your soul!
 
On HLN right now, some interesting questions coming up.
 
I posted this BEFORE the news was out that Jada wasn't kidnapped.

I think bf killed her because he was chillin' with his gf (cousin) while she was babysitting and he got enraged because Jada was "annoying" them and probably slammed the baby into something.

He went through such elaborate measures to dispose of the body, even burning himself--because he did it. I believe he would have just left the gf/cousin with the body if she killed her.
--------------------------------------
I still think the bf killed her. He had to be tasered before appearing in court he was acting so erratically. The gf was helping him dispose of the body because she "loved" him. He turned on her. That's what I think. Even so, she is responsible as well.

I can pretty much guess why there is no DP on the table. Indiana is well known for hardly ever given DP cases anymore. Indiana gave alot in the 70 and 80 but slowly backed away from it. They should be going for the DP IMO.
 
Authorities: Timothy Tkachik Climbed On Table, Wouldn't Get Down

The northwest Indiana man accused of burning 2-year-old Jada Justice's dead body and encasing it in concrete was shot with a Taser before court on Monday morning.

Higgins said he couldn't explain what Tkachik was trying to do.

"You'll have to ask him that," Higgins said.

Also fromt he same article: "Justice's mother, Melissa Swiontek, left her daughter with Castillo for several days because she was being potty trained, according to court records"

That is so weird. What does that mean? God I worry when I leave my son with his very loving grandma - I can't ever imagine leaving him with my very young drug addict cousin and her loser bf.

Chico, my first thought is he climbed up on that table looking to be viewed as a person with mental health issues. Knucklehead.

I don't understand that either. Why not wait until you get back from vacation or wherever she went to potty train. Melissa had other children. Did she not potty train them? It really doesn't make a lot of sense. If my child were having difficulty being potty trained then I would want to handle it myself, not let some teenager take over.

Good!! It's a no brainer!! And, the defense attorney threatening how much it will cost to make sure these monsters pay the ultimate price for what they did to Jada?? Sickening! :furious::furious:
 
Father awarded temporary custody of Jada's siblings
* Slain toddler's dad will have two sons for summer, pending second hearing


July 16, 2009

By Andy Grimm, Post-Tribune staff writer
VALPARAISO -- Jada Justice's father will take temporary, partial custody of his two sons.

A Porter County Juvenile Court judge on Wednesday awarded Clarence Justice custody of his sons, ages 1 and 6, with Melissa Swiontek.

Swiontek, whose cousin, Engelica Castillo is charged in the murder of 2-year-old Jada, declined comment on the hearing, saying only that Justice would have custody of the two boys "for the rest of the summer" pending a second hearing, and that she would still have partial custody of the boys.

The Post-Tribune was unable to reach attorneys for Swiontek and Justice, and calls to Clarence Justice were not returned.

Both Justice and Swiontek live in Portage.

The couple never married and split a year ago without setting a formal custody agreement, she said, though Justice paid child support and would often take custody of the boys and Jada on alternate weekends.

Swiontek left 2-year-old Jada in the care of her 18-year-old cousin, Castillo, June 8, when Lake County prosecutors allege she beat Jada to death, then tried with her boyfriend, Timothy Tkachik, to get rid of the body and tell police the girl disappeared from her car while she was buying milk and cigarettes at a Gary gas station

Trial date set for Jada Justice murderMonday, July 13, 2009 | 5:22 PM July 13, 2009 (WLS) --

A trial date has been set for a Northwest Indiana woman charged in the murder of two-year-old Jada Justice.
The trial of Engelica Castillo, 18, is set to begin on December 7th.
The Hobart woman is charged with murder, neglect of a dependent, battery and false informing. Castillo and her boyfriend Timothy Tkachik are both charged in the June 13th murder of Jada Justice.
The two-year-old's body was found more than a week after Castillo reported the girl missing. Castillo was her babysitter. She has entered a not guilty plea

Wonder when they have to file DP charges??

I think the Jada's mother should face charges at the minimum for child neglect if she had any knowledge that her cousin was a drug user....but the not guilty plea by the cousin is fascinating. So is she planning on sticking to the stranger abduction story or is she going to point the finger at her singed boyfriend? :furious:
