"He's upset and in shock," Jason Fleury's court-appointed counsel Mike Phelan said. "He wasn't expecting this."
[...]
"He was captured in Virginia Tuesday after an Essex grand jury returned a secret indictment against him July 31, which intended to prevent him from getting a head's up that he was being charged, court papers state."

Brennan has already turned over to Phelan some 1,500 pages of discovery in the case, including grand jury minutes and police reports.

Carrie Kimball-Monahan, a spokeswoman for the district attorney, said state police Detective Michael Murphy and Swampscott Police Detective Sgt. Tim Cassidy flew down to Virginia to pick up Fleury after he waived extradition on Wednesday. They drove him back to Massachusetts in a rented minivan.

I was honestly on the fence about JF since he was questioned so many times and let go (plus all this time that's gone by). BUT, I'm so glad to see that the wheels of justice are now beginning to turn for Jaimee and her family. I hope they nail him with the strongest possible sentence for what he did to her.
I am so glad he has been charged ,I feel 100 percent confident in the case that has been being built to this point. I do however wonder if he will plea out before a trial and save himself from having to face her family in court. MA has no death penalty .
Forget the death penalty. Like Michelle said, May he live for a hundred years so Jaimee can torture his every living hour.
Seems like in the past, he has leveraged himself out of trouble one way or another. That's not a direction that seems open to him anymore, with his going down for the first degree murder of a young mother whose strong spirit seems to move oceans.
