LONI COOMBS, FORMER PROSECUTOR:
The lack of her husband's name is a very telling point to me. Very different from her comments at the funeral where she was a stand by your man woman. You know, I love him. He's a wonderful husband. He's a wonderful father. I trust him. Now she's not saying anything. And I think there is something to be said for reading between the lines here. As a prosecutor, you know that there's things going on behind-the-scenes.
The prosecution is looking at two potential suspects here. It's very clear in the probable cause hearing they went out of their way to put on evidence about her when they didn't need to. It wasn't her probable cause hearing, showing that they are working towards mounting a case against her. They're still trying to decide, are we going to use her as a cooperative witness, is she going to be charged, or is there a possibility that they might turn her against him or him against her. The fact that this statement was so vague about the case, in fact, no mention of the case itself at all, lends the credibility that these discussions are going on.
I agree with this wholeheartedly. Throughout the entire PCH, all I kept thinking is ...they are definitely going after LH. This was Ross' hearing and they spent a good amount of time laying out Leanne's statements at the daycare,and later at the jail, her stunning lack of emotion, that she didn't cry at all and that her mother commented on her unemotional demeanor. Just by their questions and testimony alone created the tone of "They did this together you honor" without ever having to say it out loud.
I believe that she is not under arrest or charged yet because the prosecution is playing chess and hedging their bets who will turn on who for a plea deal. They already have RH in custody, they were also probably hoping for visits and phonecalls where they could glean even more information for their investigation. Before she left for Alabama of course. I think they will eventually charge her, or she will testify against him for some level of immunity or lesser charges with mercy. Or he will turn on her first and plea out. Dollars to doughnuts...
They are simply playing chess with both of them right now. :cow:
