Watching the Stan doco now (well, first episode). So far nothing new, lots of journalist talking heads, but it’s always nice to see locations etc on film

I'm guessing they'll start with supervised visits, then work up from there. If her life is in order then it won't take long. They've been through so much.

You can give life without parole in the absolute, worst crimes. But its exceedingly rare and we have what seems like a more lenient appeals process than the UK does. Feels like the UK legal system is built on the idea that they get it right first time (even when they don't), whereas our appeals...

can't imagine she'll live to 82 tbh its effectively a life sentence for someone of her age and health

They/them is not only used as a plural. Its also used when gender is unknown. 'I think a person just ran past' 'oh where were they going?'. 'The bus driver dropped me off late' 'Why were they late?'

which is why my post talked about how all children with cognitive and neurological conditions are at risk of elopement. The link was about ASD children, but the point was still the same - elopement increases on vacation/holidays.

sovcits need to go on a terrorist register IMO

He genuinely didn't think anyone but himself was a target. Nobody is hurting more for that miscalculation than he is. If he hadn't been given bad advice about her (and I get it... nobody really thinks the people they know are murderers), maybe he would have realised earlier what a danger she was.

as the parent of a disabled child, I think occam's razor applies here. Elopement is very common, especially on holidays/in unfamiliar environments. Nothing about this seems or ever has seemed sus to me...

I think it didn't come up in trial because unless you meet the extremely high threshold for being found incompetent - and you basically have to be in active psychosis or have a severe intellectual disability for that - it's more or less irrelevant to being found guilty. It'll come up in...

True that. The only diagnostic criteria are social communication/interaction deficits and restricted/repetitive behaviours/interests/activities. Anything else isn't necessarily autism - but could be one of the things often comorbid with autism - such as anxiety, OCD, ADHD, cognitive deficits...

I was concerned she might be a bit of a queen bee in jail, but from what the various media reports have led me to believe, it seems its the opposite and she's unpopular. I bet its a lot harder to make people dance to your tune when its in person and not behind a screen. JMO.

I thought she said on a comment that that was an old pic from when she was pregnant with her son?

I realise what you can see on someone's social media does not accurately reflect their life but I can only see evidence of them having a son. Of course, there may have been photos of their daughter they kept private. Was she only a baby?
