How likely do you think it is that Mark Wright could get his sentence reduced? Is a defense motion for a reconsideration of a sentence or a new sentence hearing par for the course with cases like this? I was really happy with that 80 years and I'd hate for him to get less (although I suppose I'd...

First day of Mark Anthony "Tony" Wright's sentencing. Joann Groover (Kim Wright's sister) gave character testimony on behalf of her nephew. She brought some letters of support from fellow inmates, thanking Tony for introducing them to God's word. Then she mostly talked about what a likable...

Hopefully it's because the prosecution wants to call more witnesses and pile on more evidence (as opposed to just the defense stalling like they've been doing for years).

Did his sentencing hearing get rescheduled from this week to a later date? I only saw one announcement of it on the news, but that news story is now 404 File Not Found and there haven't been any news updates this week.

It's probably becoming more and more obvious every day to the Defense that this woman's hope for a defense is dwindling, so they're probably sowing the seeds for some mental health plea or something down the line. That shyster lawyer of hers is a morally bankrupt attention hog, but even he must...

Hear, hear. I was thinking the exact same thing.

I'm hoping that we get to find out, on some level, what her motive/end game was. What's the deal with the whole limited food/water thing? Sounds like the dad and the mom were severely limiting his food intake since childhood, and that was what put them on social services' radar and caused them...

I agree with all this too.

^^^ Everything you just said. And new details continue to devastate me. I didn't even know Victoria was excited about having a kitten until recent testimony. The neighbor said Victoria went home to get her kitten and never came back. I remember one of the news stations played a phone...

I think Jessica Kelley killed Victoria herself in a psychotic paranoid state. I've always thought this. This "man" who planned to kill Victoria would have no way of knowing to what extent Jessica was high or paranoid or otherwise incapacitated. By all accounts, Jessica was a very tough broad who...

Absolutely. They say it may have transferred when Kelley "straddled" Victoria to dismember her. But when ELSE does someone "straddle" someone else? To STRANGLE them. Ugh. This case sickens me, but the twists and turns are something straight out of a SVU episode.

Yeah, at this point, I don't believe a 4th person exists either. Especially not after this phone call. Key suspect in Martens case speaks with sister, hours before girl's death I think Kelley was tweaking and in the midst of some psychotic episode when she killed Victoria all by herself. All...

Here's what I don't get, in regard to Jessica Kelley's version of events. The way she puts it, she was so high, and so debilitated when the mystery man came into the apartment, that she was unable to stop him from killing Victoria. Or she didn't know he was killing Victoria. Or something. And...

I've followed this story from the beginning, and here's one thing that bugs me. So they figure out that 90% of the story was false, because Michelle Martens is compelled or predisposed or whatever to make crap up. Fair enough. But then they offer her a plea deal based on her willingness to...

When this story first broke, I remember thinking "meth." I figured that's what turned the adults into monsters, and why quality of life in the house took such an abrupt nosedive. But drugs were never mentioned at the trial, and so I guess it turns out they were just plain evil. But am I the only...
