Family dismayed after alleged killer posts bond in Kilwein case I haven’t seen too many updates other than this article. AC had his bond reduced and currently he is out with a few restrictions. Steve Kilwein’s family is not happy about this. I don’t know how to link a court record as I had to...

I doubt Abbey was offered a plea deal. He had very little to offer on his side. And nothing but first degree murder would have satisfied Dustin’s family, friends, and an angry and frightened public. A lot of Montana locals recreate in National Forest and take their children fishing, hunting...

I was going to say something snarky and slanderous about our Montana and local Bozeman news reporting. But you may have already made any relevant assessments. Truly. It’s weird, the lack of coverage for such a violent murder. And not helpful. Some would say inadequate.

The exciting thing about restitution is that it limits the amount an inmate can spend on commissary spending on things like extra food and specialty items. That is a true daily punishment for someone like BK who believes he needs and deserves a special diet. Family and friends end up paying...

Can anybody speak to locations of women’s prisons in Florida? The judge agreed to suggest placement for Donna away from KM. And also to put in his word for Donna to be placed near Miami, though he noted these decisions are the purview of the Florida department of corrections. What about KM, who...

BK very likely doesn't have the unlimited hours of telephone access in prison that he had IN THE county jails. I’m not sure how his current isolating confinement deals with telephone privileges in Idaho, but he surely has much less daily support from Mother especially. That has to be a...

The selfies remind me so much of Russell Williams, who photographed himself extensively in women’s undergarments that he had stolen from prowling. Documenting himself and his secret life however he needs to, since the only people who saw the ‘real’ him were dead. They seem like posing trophies...

Thank you for this background on LR. Was that given in his previous testimony? I did not watch the earlier trials of SG and KM. I also think he may be holding back and had that same thought about the gun not being thrown away. For no other reason than my own imagination about what I would do...

It is not that unusual for jurors to have individually made up their minds about a defendant’s guilt or innocence before deliberations. They have heard all of the evidence and seen all the testimony. This doesn’t mean they were talking to one another prior to being given the case for...

Thank you for this information. Justice in this case has been moved forward in no small part by Luis Rivera and his testimony. The only real indications I have heard about his family/children have come from his mention of his ‘Baby Mama’ in his testimony and Phil Markel’s reference in his...

Thank you, yes. The murder of Dan Markel was only in small part about the children. It was set in motion by the ego of this dysfunctional family, and moved forward by their manipulation of one another. By all accounts, Dan loved his children and he was on his way to being a truly amazing...

Absolutely not. No calls, no Jpay/email, no notes. Prison to prison inmate communication would be dangerous. Though messages can be sent ‘out’ and then back inside through the above various means, those are monitored specifically for this kind of chatter. Inmates of the same gender will often...

I caught that. I think he read the verdicts himself because he knew Donna was almost certainly going to have an emotional outburst. If the clerk or worse the jury foreperson had read them, that individual may have been upset by DA’s protestations and emotional reaction and themselves been...

My feeling is that they dropped the lesser charges because a conviction on those would have also essentially been a life sentence for Donna — no real difference in her quality of life if convicted on those. The burden of proof would be higher for 1st degree murder and Donna’s age and...

check out the YouTube channel Phone Calls From Prison. There is an entire playlist of calls between Donna and Charlie after Charlie’s conviction. They spoke for many hours. Be forewarned: Charlie is obnoxiously self-absorbed and super repetitive. He bemoans losing the rest of his life and...
