Respectfully, she's already been charged. <modsnip> I haven't already decided on what Justice is in this situation. But I suspect the reason the Judge wouldn't rule on the motions involving the children is because he finds that whole business distasteful and would appreciate a plea bargain. We will probably not ever know the truth. Certainly Jack's interview letting everyone (especially for Molly) know how much he now hates Her won't shed any light on what transpired that night. And I don't know how anyone believes it would better for the children if she's convicted of something. Why not just keep breaking their hearts? I pray for them.
<modsnip> Never mind that he was a grown man, came home to her cooking every night. Was married to her. And she was considered his next of kin in all medical situations. An instance of fat-shaming could easily be misunderstood under a strict diet those when ordering at a restaurant.<modsnip> sounds to me like he might have been building an anger.

I don't see the point in this back and forth all the time, you are entitled to believe Molly is innocent, but then why be on a victim friendly forum? Alot of people who comment here know the victims family personally, they are privy to information which we as outside commentators don't have, and to be fair, while sometimes the posts come across as quite harsh, from what I have seen the information that they put out there has generally come to pass as being true.
I find it interesting as an outside commentator, that you are unwilling to look skeptically at anything that Molly has put out there. Take for instance Jack & Sarah, from the very moment the Lynches got custody, Molly put it into the public domain that they were going 'to teach the kids to hate' her. Is that not a very unusual comment to make? Especially given that the custody issue was not yet resolved, and there was the potential that she was going to have to find some resolution with these people to have access to the kids going forward. She consistently, over and over, put it into the public domain that whatever the kids said from that point forward was worthless. Yes you can definitely argue that the Corbett's are very angry with Molly and that could be a possible influence on the kids. But as a mother I find it strange that she had so little faith in 'her children'. If we are to believe Molly's version of events, she raised those kids, she took them on holidays, taught them all they needed to know, acted as Mom, cheerleader, friend. She protected them from the escalating threat they were experiencing in the home....so why be so quick to assume that they would have absolutely no loyalty to her? Why be so quick to tell everyone that any information they could provide is of no value? If I felt as though my children had been ripped away from me in the most horrific of circumstances, and were in an environment where I feared they had negative influences, I would be grateful when I heard they were seeing a child psychologist. I would be grateful that they had an independent person to help and support them. I would be jumping for joy at the fact that they finally had a safe, confidential place to speak the truth. Finally the truth of their lives would be revealed...wouldn't it?
Why would you automatically assume that the kids would be manipulated into lying to a professional...unless you had some experience of this before.
I agree with you about the judge, I think he sees the kids have been used as pawns in a much bigger game and he is hoping that the case is strong enough to not require their involvement any further in what is going to be a circus.
I will hold my hand up and say that I am one of the people who does hope that Molly is convicted of something, for a very simple reason. On one point we whole-heartedly agree every time. Jack & Sarah are the victims here, they lost everything that night. Everything. Their father, the entire life that they had built in the US, the extended family that they had opened themselves up to, all of their friends. Everything. They are broken. Custody has been awarded to the Lynches, that will not change. And so these two amazing, incredible humans have started to rebuild their lives in the environment they are now in. (to be fair before anyone misinterprets what I'm saying, from what I can see this is a very stable, loving environment, surrounded by family who love them) They will have an uphill battle dealing with everything they have gone through before you even start to add in normal adolescent emotions etc. If Molly is found innocent, I have no doubt that she will never rest in gaining access to the children. It will be a lifetime of stress and court battles and heartbreak. The kids will forever be caught between two lives. IMO they have suffered enough, they are currently in a supportive, loving home environment, they should be allowed to recover in that environment free from further hardship. If she is innocent, it is a horrific situation for her to be in, but sometimes being a mother means doing the hardest thing, and I just don't think Molly would ever see that.
Personally, I don't need to hate Molly to question her authenticity. I don't need to hate her to see irregularities in the story. I don't need to assume she's a monster to understand that the prospect of losing those kids could have been enough to push her over the edge. I don't need to believe that their home life was a den of evil to understand that sometimes people break and do the most horrific things. I also don't need to believe that Jason was an angel to understand that he still didn't deserve the level of violence inflicted upon him that night. I don't need to assume that the general breakdown of a marriage automatically means spousal abuse. I have tried to look at the information to hand in a fair and unbiased way...respectfully, I believe you will take Molly's side to the end, despite any information that comes to light.
I only hope that this trial is swift, because it is going to be ugly, I hope we can continue this threat in a respectful manner.
All MOO.
