Well hopefully he will never see the light of day again - so he can't be a danger to his son or anyone else. The article that mentioned the bond hearing stated that bond is rarely granted in murder cases in Indiana. The best and most likely scenario is that he sits in jail until his trial, is found guilty, gets the maximum of 65 years with no parole, and dies in prison. Here's hoping.
OMG I HOPE this case NEVER makes it on to one of those shows - for the sake of everyone concerned. Her family and friends and the two kids don't need that.
I don't think they have to get permission from the family to report on the trial. If it takes place in open court anyone can do that. But in order for a segment like that to work they would have to interview Melinda's friends and family, and Steven's, to paint a picture of who she was, who Steven was, and their life together leading up to the murder. If nobody agrees to be interviewed ... no segment. Hopefully.
Phone records and cell phone pings will identify where SL was before calling 911. Also time of death vs 911 call. There is no such thing as perfect crime. SL Has many holes in his version of events. Inexcusable and very telling he didn't ask about his wife. Big red flag.
I think it's likely he was separated - but she wasn't. In other words he was coming and going as he pleased while she held onto hope that things would work out. He probably threw her crumbs that prevented her from admitting defeat.
Yes. He very cleverly filed police reports that "proved" he and Melinda were being stalked, remember? He even went so far as to request extra patrols of their house. Of course all that really proved was that he reported a stalker, not that a stalker existed. But I'm sure he thought he had outfoxed everyone with his careful planning.
