Thank you for sharing your thoughts and suggestions, fleurdelea! And welcome to our discussion group here.
Erg, holding the highest degree in law is not a requirement for all judges nor is it a requirement that they practice law for many years. For example, in PA, the requirements are that a person is a legal citizen and a member of the bar (neither of those requiring the highest degree in law, i.e., an S.J.D nor many years of practice). In many states, certain judges are elected, so what is required is determined by the electorate. I'm not sure about unlimited access to specialists, either. US Supreme Court judges are appointed and there is no requirement that they have law degrees at all. That is not to say that many judges aren't very well qualified and wise.
This is my first time posting here. Trojan1966, I am very sorry for your loss. I hope you find justice for Julia very soon. You're obviously a loving, caring man, and she was lucky to have you for her grandfather.
I just wanted to leave some of my thoughts here in case they are helpful. I believe there's a possibility that this is a sex crime. If so, whether the perpetrator(s) killed Julia accidentally or intentionally, I don't know. What I do know is that there are people out there with sex fantasies who role play dangerous and potentially dangerous sexual fantasies such as erotic asphyxiation, choking, and bondage, to name a few. I think normally one finds an interested participant, but it's also possible that one would either initiate the fantasies in hopes that one would participate, or by force. It sounds to me like Julia was single and dating. Whether she was dating the one guy she was described as "seeing" is unclear to me. Is it known if Julia had any online dating profiles? I know from experience that there are plenty of creeps on these dating sites, and it's not always evident until after the initial charm. I would search every possible dating site and any type of site meant for meeting people to see if Julia had a profile. Maybe the profile would still be active or accessible if it was never deleted. If so, maybe there's a way to see if she was talking to anyone new leading up to her death. There could be someone out there that was new in her life who was able to slip into the shadows because he was never introduced or mentioned. Maybe this has been done already, but you could do an online search for any key words or user names that could link you to Julia. I for one searched myself with my first name only and the name of my town, and was easily able to find one of my own profiles.
I also think the police should review their files of people they already cleared. Sometimes people are wrongfully written off as unreliable witnesses or sources. Take the Lyon sisters case, which is being solved 40 years too late because the perpetrator was written off as an unreliable source while everyone was focused on another suspect.
With that said, I think JT is looking pretty guilty. I just hope no stone is left unturned.
One more thing that comes to mind is that apartment complex staff would have access to Julia's apartment. Were there any maintenance calls made, either to the complex, or to an after hours answering service with a request for service? Or, did a staff member access her apartment without permission? Was the apartment complex a client of JT's cleaning business? I can see someone with a small business seeking out clients through word of mouth. Could Julia's missing key have been taken to cover up the perpetrator's tracks?

Search Warrant Documents : All addresses were removed (whited out) in the documents. I guess they can't release that without permission from those concerned. Yes, there are some things not quite right but for the most part, the information is factual. This was just used to obtain a Search Warrant and by no means will anything in this document be used in court without formal depositions or actual testimony by those concerned. Evidently, there were two different judges in two different counties that said this was reason enough for a legal search warrant.
jbelle, thank you for an intelligent, well written and respectable post about "the other side" of possibilities. My only question would be why you believe all the info here or in the warrant only came from 3 people? We have both friends and relatives of the family here .... do you not consider them all credible ? And there were more than 3 witnesses who gave their opinions in the warrant. ( Maybe I misunderstood your statement)
D&C, do we really know if they were errors at the time the report was written? Could be that is exactly what LE knew or were told, and/or believed the report to be accurate when it was written.
The last page of the first document listed date 11/20/14 is an addendum add by Trojan in his rebuttal to what was within the document that he believes to be erroneous. There are 8 points he makes stating to be incorrect. Not 1, not 2...but 8!
Although I think it's great that Trojan corrected the record and that Trojan's points were included in the file, I thought most of the points were not central nor do they point to sloppy investigation IMHO.
Agreed. This attitude of a great conspiracy is troublesome to me and I don't see evidence of that within the documents.Although I think it's great that Trojan corrected the record and that Trojan's points were included in the file, I thought most of the points were not central nor do they point to sloppy investigation IMHO.
