they are holding any charges re LUCAS IN ABEYANCE TO table a charge, the charge has to exist. While I believe theres an evidentiary file with info re LUCAS child endangerment charges its their ace in the hole.
I believe charges will will be filed in this order.
CE against EG
Battery against JH
CE TRIAL EG
Conviction against EG
SENTENCING FOR EG
EG sentenced to 13 months w credit time served
CINC case moves forward against EG older boys.
EG eventually loses visitation rights for them
Search goes on for LUCAS
JH May negotiate plea ordered no contact with EG 2boys
EG gives birth
Baby taken into protective custody. Eventually EG LOSES PARENTAL RIGHTS FOR ALL CHILDREN.
One of 2 things HAPPEN HERE
If LUCAS NOT FOUND and prior to her release
CE charges filed against EG LUCAS same bond
EG hes to trial same bond/bail
Convicted sentenced to 12 months
regardless LUCAS LOCATION
DA LE have prepared their best case after arduous effort
MURDER CHARGES FILED AGAINST EG.
CONVICTED NATURAL LIFE INCARCERATED.
END IF A SAD STORY.
COST TO TAXPAYERS
LE TIME, DA PREP TIME, court appointed attorneys, judicial time
Incarceration cost EG
FAR IN EXCESS OF 1.4 MILLION DOLLARS.
MOST OF WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH BETTER SPENT IF DCF HAD REMOVED LUCAS AND MH A TEAR AGO.
IMO
