Thanks, boredom! :loveyou:MissSallyAnnie, you take the cake. Keep those cards & letters comin' honey, you made me LOL!! Thanks!!:loveyou:
One thing I've wrestled with is why did this happen? It seems to be popular opinion or even the court's idea that GH & AH wanted those boys. I'm thinking it may be more in line with what so many other "man kills the mother of his child(ren)" scenarios - child support. If LA got custody or more custody, child support might have or probably would have been an issue. And with that, GH would HAVE to get a job - a real job. He would have to stop wasting money traveling. He spent (or they spent) all of AH's money. AH was caring for an infant and wouldn't have been able to work. Regardless of her working or not, it would be GH who would have to shoulder the child support - which meant GET A JOB. I think he didn't want to work. He loved not growing up (like so many of them do) and all the responsibility falls on someone else. Suddenly, he knows he will be forced to do something like earn a living and he gets resentful to point of murder. Just a thought. As for AH, I guess she got caught up in it or she's just crazy.
Good lord, what a visual.
Thank you Geevee I can always count on you to keep track of the deliberation time!

Did you watch the testimony of the M.E. and pathologist?
Mario Andrette McNeill, who raped, murdered and then dumped 5 year old Shaniya Davis in the woods offered no defense, no closing argument, no mitigating factors, nothing.
That case is very, very personal to me.
Judge Stephens has more than the simple sniffles today. I think he has a horrible cold.
One of the things that really BUGGED me with AMANDA's trial was the contradictions about SHAE. She claimed she was worried for Shae's safety, she wanted Shae to not give interviews and to go to NM because she was trying to protect her.
The reality was SHE came very close to making her daughter an accessory didn't she? Asking Shae to come get that boys and keep them and then asking for HER boyfriend's vacuum cleaner and for SHAE to bring them dinner. She treated Shae very badly.
NO wonder Shae cooperated with police! Shae was passed around like a ball - her dad, her mom's sister, her mom... no stability. I feel sorry so sorry for her. I hope whoever this guy was she married treats her well.
There isn't a chance Amanda if convicted would be able to moved to NM or TX is there? Are there separate charges that could be filed in TX against GRANT and AMANDA?
Why was this not a death penalty case? Has anyone expounded on that in one of the threads. (I really am trying to catch up)

That is what I thought all thru Grant Hayes trial. He is still not over it!
I would think some kind of illegally disposing of a body change in addition to the acid dumping charge pending.
And Mr. Ackerson filed a wrongful death suit last summer against them.
