Unless the judge specifically requests otherwise you can usually have your attorney appear on your behalf.
I think you are right. I looked up "APT" and it appears to just mean "appointed," but it does seem different from her "PD" (public defender).
Oh....I think it will be each person for himself/herself now.
twitter said family ,are we sure it's her parents? I think it's someone else. Someone here in the US

Now we wait to see which of them tries to get a better deal for themselves by being first to "remember" what happened to Madalina.
Agreed. IMO, this is where the involvement of attorneys can help move things along. As they each advocate for their respective client it tends to widen the gap. JMO
Yes. However,I will repost my earlier reporter's tweet below in which he referred to her parents as giving the shoo hand signal............ If you do not believe the reporter, You are free to think it's someone else who did the shoo-shooing..
I think you're right that CP's attorney was appointed. I don't know about this case but we've seen others in the past where the Public Defender's office either had a conflict of interest or ran out of attorneys so they enlisted some from the private sector to step in pro bono.
Right, says family. not parents. It could mean any family member and I believe she has a family member in the US. I don't believe her parents want anything to do with this, but, that's only my opinion.
Spec only i think hes an abusive spouse.
Curious what about this case gives you a reason to suspect this?
Also, now Christopher Palmiter will have electronic monitoring too, if he bonds out. (If anyone doesn't remember, earlier only Diana Cojocari had that stipulation).
OK. Thanks for clarification. I somehow believed a parent recently came to U.S. to be morally supportive.
Probably her attorney.
If she has any information at all, about the whereabouts of her daughter, would an attorney actually tell their client to keep their mouth shut, or tell LE all they know?
