Came to see if any updates and see someone pasted Jury Selection Today. Marking my spot.
News outlets report that after struggling for two days to seat a jury for Ashley White’s trial, lawyers agreed Tuesday night to proceed with the case later this week, but without a jury present.
The change came after Pulaski County Circuit Judge Bradley Finch found that the jury pool had been too tainted by media coverage since 5-year-old Noah Thomas’ body was found in a septic tank near his Dublin home in March 2015.
I told myself I wouldn't come back here. Seeing Noah's face in pictures tears me up. I still believe he deserves justice he isn't going to get, and I wish I could just let it go as an accident. But I can't.
Two of the charges, one for each of White's children, pertain to the period in which prosecutors say that she had left the 5-year-old and 6-month-old home alone. The third charge, Fleenor said, pertains to the period later that morning when she allegedly took a nap and Noah went missing....
a major question the court will have to decide is whether or not falling asleep while children are home qualifies as a willful act of neglect.
An investigator with the Claytor Lake Drug Task Force testified that in his opinion there was a small marijuana growing operation inside of Ashley White’s home...
Carolyn Guerin with the FBI testified that when she arrived at Ashley White’s home and opened the door of the trailer, smoke came out...
Another special agent testified that when she entered the trailer it was full of cigarette smoke. Two team members who have breathing issues had to put masks on before entering the trailer...
White's lawyer began questioning [landlord and neighbour Gary] Meadows about the septic tank where Noah's body was found. Meadows said he had a retired plumber make some repairs to the tank in 2014 and that he didn't know a permit was needed for the work...
White's attorney told Meadows that it was a class 1 misdemeanor to have work done on the septic tank and not have it inspected by the health department. Meadows said he was not aware of that.

Surely not... Can falling asleep in front of the tv when your kids are in the house really be a crime?
Shall we re-ignite the debate about whether it's okay to accidentally fall asleep when watching your kids? :wink:
SW was no "mother of the year" by anyone's estimation. Just hearing the landlord discuss how he had to clean the trailer once they moved out gives just an inkling into how they all lived. WTH? A grow operation in that tiny sh??-hole of a trailer? (No disrespect meant for any one else living in a trailer!)
RIP Noah. And may all of he goodness of the world be bestowed to your sister.
