Bless your sweet and tender heart, Sin. Just find another case & check in with us as you can. We are getting ready, as always, to go into that "lull" time between the DA building a solid case, S/W's being released to the public, autopsy results, and waiting, waiting for the trial to start. If MO's lag time from arrest to trial is what we usually see, it should be a couple of years before the killer is sentenced...
The only thing that allows me to stay on horrors like this one is my outrage & anger, and then (in most cases) a perverse thrill when the esso bee is convicted. I have to develop and nurse my anger; it is my watch dog to keep the sorrow away. (It not always successful, btw. The tears are always ready to roll down my face. And they always do.)
Don't suffer, Sin, there are other cases, as you know. :therethere:

This horror is going to affect the football team that he coached, the kids at that school who knew him & joked with him, possibly went to him with problems, and just any student he knew and supervised. Middle school, as we all know & remember, is a very weird and vulnerable time of life for kids growing up. I hope the school will prepare for that. It's summer now, so who knows how the kids who want/need help through counseling, etc., will be able to get it. That's worrisome -- even if it's just one or two students.
As is typical in cases like these, there are so many spokes popping out of this case.

Yeah, give this his change of venue. He will be convicted anywhere. Justice is coming for our little angel in pink and purple.

Who the hell cares if he was at Walmart ? She was found in HIS basement. Did she let her self in, kill herself and then tied herself up and put herself in a tote? Like really? Just plead guilty and save the tax payers some money. Don't make her family sit through a trial where the ME will testify to her injuries and show pictures.

The defense is trying to get his statements tossed out saying that was too intoxicated and in emotional distress. I believe LE is demonstrating that between the video at the school, the Walmart, the other retail store, did laundry, time of abduction and then rape and kill Hailey he didn't have too much drinking time. I am surprised that since LE observed him driving and if they smelled alcohol on his breath that they did not do a breathalizer and charge with DUI too, therefor documenting his alcohol level.

I thought this was an interesting read:
Death row In Missouri
"In April 1989 the state transferred its 70 death row inmates from Jefferson City Correctional Center (JCCC, originally Missouri State Penitentiary[4]) to Potosi. U. S. District Court for the Western District of Missouri approved some modifications to the consent decree before the inmates were moved to Potosi. Originally death row prisoners lived in a 92-bed, two wing facility at PCC. The death row inmates had their own special custody levels: minimum custody, medium custody, close custody, and administrative segregation. One wing housed the minimum custody death row inmates, with another wing housing the others. The classification system was intended to award privileges to death row prisoners exhibiting good behavior. After inmates filed legal challenges, administrators began to consider whether to integrate death row prisoners into the non-death row population, because the majority of non-death row the prisoners at PCC had very long sentences and had committed similar crimes to those committed by death row inmates."
"MDOC began to stop using the word "death row," believing it to be negative, and began referring to death row prisoners as ""capital punishment" (CP) inmates."[5] For the first time in MDOC history, the state began to allow death row prisoners to leave their housing units, with staff escorts, to eat meals. When no serious incidents occurred, MDOC officials began to use an escort system so death row prisoners could use the gymnasium. The death row prisoners also began to have access to the law library, and death row prisoners were permitted to work in the laundry facility. On January 8, 1991 death row prisoners were fully mainstreamed into the population."

Prosecutors have previously filed a motion to force Craig Michael Wood, 46, to provide a handwriting sample in order to attempt to match it to the stories about sex with young girls, allegedly found in a dresser in Wood's home.
Additionally, officers used a search warrant to obtain a letter Wood wrote from jail, to be used for the same analysis.
Patrick Berrigan, a state-paid capital defense attorney representing Wood, filed a response last week saying the seizure of Wood's letter should be kept out of evidence because the seizure was improper, and that any handwriting comparison shouldn't be allowed because the science is flimsy.
"Questioned document examination is not science," Berrigan wrote. "It's is completely subjective. It does not utilize scientific principles, and, like many non-scientific forensic fields, it is arguably as much a self-perpetuating myth as a valid methodology.

some info on Questionable Document Examination, how it works and who does it
Weve worked just about every major case, said Diana Harrison, who heads what we call our Questioned Documents Unit (QDU) in the FBI Lab, because every investigation has a paper trail.

A document examiner must be relentlessly thorough in considering all aspects of a document. In the 1920's the Oliver Will case was tried in White Plains, New York. The question revolved around the date on which the will was written. A legal form which had the date and name and address of its printer at the top was used for the will, but a piece of the document which showed the date had been torn away. There were two possibilities for the date of the form - January 8, 1924, or October 8, 1924. The date of the alleged will was September 20, 1924, so the only form that could have been used was the one printed earlier in the year. Upon close examination it was found that in tearing away the dated portion of the form, the tail of the comma in the address was still visible, and the position on the paper of that comma tail proved that the form could not have been the January 8th form. The questioned will was therefore written on a form that did not exist on the date it was allegedly prepared.

The defense wants a change of venue, prosecution wants a jury brought in from out of town. Neither can agree on a trial date yet. The next hearing is scheduled for Oct. 2.

"Judge Dan Conklin has signed an order to have the Wood case tried in Greene County, with a jury selected from Platte County."
Clipped from your article.
That is just north of Kansas City, MO. I guess they will bus the juror's down and sequester the one's that are picked. Or will they come up here to pick the required # of juror's and then transport them down to Springfield?

Docket entries confirming protective orders. Items described below will not be shown in open court apparently. Nor will the defendant be able to "enjoy" looking at them for his pleasure or fantasies. Proper move IMO.

Thanks Indy Anna. I can't imagine what Hailey's parents are going through and how they are faced with waiting years for a trial and possibly an appeal on top of that as well. It's truly horrendous for all families in this situation.
