I hope we get some answers as to motive. The fact that the mother isn't sure what to think about the father's involvement gives me pause. I don't think he hurt his child but maybe he's hiding something else ... something that would give Mona the motive.

As far as Mona's diet is concerned, I can see her having a legitimate complaint if she's allergic to pork but if she just doesn't like it and thus, refuses to eat it, well, too bad, so sad. I just had a thought that she'll probably convert to Islam and then they'll have to susbstitute the pork to accomodate her religious preferences. Ugh.

What did that monster do to that boy? :furious:

You did not deserve to die, Jonathan.

"By 7, 7:30, that woman is standing in front of me with dirt and burn marks on the front of her shirt," Motal said.

This is an old article that came up with google alerts for some reason:

http://abcnews.go.com/m/story?id=12514556

Mona Nelson, the woman charged with killing 12-year-old Jonathan Foster and burning his body, defended herself against gruesome allegations by arguing that she is a grandmother who loves kids.

"I'm not a monster," she told ABC affiliate KTRK.

"I have five grand kids and I love kids," Nelson said.

I beg to differ Mona - you are the very definition of a monster!!

Did anything happen in court today? How would I go about finding out???? Check out the local newspapers?



ETA: couldn't find anything on the "net or the Harris County Court page.....the local news doesn't seem to have anything either. Any locals out there?

 

[AmandaReckonwith]

I checked a couple, and nothing at all in the news.

I cannot figure out how to find the info in the Chris Daniels site. Help?

Criminals have the right to a speedy trial; what about victims? I think the families of the victim should also have the right to something! They have to wait and wait to see what manner of justuce will be served to this monster!
