borndem, regarding the mug shot of Jonathan Richardson you posted up-thread, it never ceases to amaze me how these child abusers and/or murderers have a 'new' look at trial time. If put side by side, there is a dramatic difference in Richardson's appearance . . . including glasses.
I attended the Lucas Coe trial in Houston, TX regarding the horrific, brutal rape and beating death of barely 4 year old Emma Thompson. At the time of his arrest vs appearance at trial, Coe transformed his appearance for trial to that of "a choir boy look."
One of the Houston media stated Coe's choir boy looks did not fool the jury. After I saw it on TV, I realized the reporter was right and that is what Coe tried to project to the jury. . . . sweet and innocent.
No offense intended to choir boy looks. It is a compliment to have the lovely appearance of a choir boy.

Has anybody seen the Arrest Warrant for Richardson? If so, please link it or display it. I have looked everywhere & cannot find it. I want to see the Probable Cause section.
Thanks in advance!

The only probable cause I'm finding is page 5 of the Search Warrant.

I'd like to know why national media is avoiding this trial like it is the plague.
Is there some kind of news embargo?
I figured HLN would be all over this. Where is CNN? Where is FOX?
I emailed above media outlets including Nancy Grace. No responses (didn't expect any), no coverage, no mention in broadcasts. I don't get it!

This was JDR when he was arrested. Creepy and scary looking, IMO.
Eileen, this is sad but true.These types of cases (children killed by their parent or their significant other through child abuse) rarely/never get national attention...Look at the Crimes Against Children forum....Sadly, this is not rare, hundreds of children die from child abuse every year, so it's not national "newsworthy" to them.
Yes gracielee I am very outraged at this. I was led to believe that the GP were "wonderful" people and if they knew she was out there they would have intervened. Well look now.........grandma saw poop and knew a 4 year old was living in a shed, with her unstable grandson, who she herself was afraid of. Ummm...I'm livid they were not charged with something? Accessory? I just can't. I had hope to go to this trial but I used alot of my PTO during the snow a few weeks ago. I just feel someone needs to be there for Teghan. I'm sure her grandparents are there but no one has reported on that. I am so thankful Heather Moore is there. She is a wonderful lady. Met her a few times. She is very nice!
