Not surprising. She stood out as the professional in this proceeding. So glad for that “feel good” news on the sentencing! JM deserves every day of her sentence! ETA - I also want to thank everyone who posted, summarized, linked and opined during the trial. I am limited in what I can...

That was a beautiful statement. They sound like wonderful sincere people, as does their daughter. I hope they are able to have some relationship with their granddaughter as none of the above adjectives apply to BB’s mother. ETA - I hope more Justice is coming to Juliana on Friday im the form of...

I feel like “inside job” too, but of the more opportunistic type, which is why the scene was chaotic enough the LE immediately pegged it as a crime scene. I’m thinking meth/opioid addicted significant other of home attendant, etc. Sees nice house, famous child. Thinks easy money or drugs -...

With family like this.... "I'll take that check, but no, I won't take any responsibility for this teen." Ugh. I ALMOST feel sorry for SGP. I'm very glad that all the potential motives and incentives have been made clear here. ETA - I really wish and any all $ would go to the remaining...

This behavior, and the really long drive to surrender, seem like a text book way to make sure you DON’T get bail.

Agreed. I was VERY on the fence at first but over time became glad she had someone to love her in what looks like the darkest part of her life. I also have a direct relative with treatment resistant depression. It’s a killer. RIP.

From reading the articles it sounds like she was adopted by the family she was already living with. My guess is she was placed with a family before any of the DNA findings were known. I think it would be more traumatic for her to be taken from the family she has bonded with even if placed with a...

Does anyone know if this guy is practicing law? Or working at all? This is one of those cases that really gets under my skin. How is he out on bail? I admit I would feel much better if his smug self was stripped of any social status associated with being a practicing attorney at the very...

I respectfully disagree that it was spite. To me it looks like she was looking out for her own safety. After all he fired her (against advice to transfer her) AND showed up at her house with a knife when she broke up with him. I would say making sure that someone with some authority over him...

There have been strong feelings on this thread regarding CP being in the same CSAM images as her daughter. That is what websleuths is for- civil discourse and disagreement. But I’m with you - I’m an attorney and read through many of the civil filings. These civil filings were not defense filings...

His defense did a very thorough job setting this issue up on appeal! Honestly I think it could have been a very viable appeal BUT for his testimony. He did not come across as sympathetic or even cogent. I do suspect (did a deep dive of the filings in the civil suits a while back - specifically...

This might be an insane (and unintelligent) question, but I wonder if the speed of the plane creates some sort of "pull" towards it when a smaller aircraft (helicopter) gets close enough. I have been on an interstate in a smaller car and felt a "pull" when a tractor trailer flies by me. Does...

It seems awfully unfair that the defendants got only $75k bond that they are expected to be able to post! These teens weighed less than 60 lbs! I’d make the case that this was attempted murder! Who are these people to this community?

I sometimes believe, and wholeheartedly agree with, the tactic of not charging the defendant while he/she is in on other charges. It’s like getting a safe timeout. You know more crimes aren’t being committed and you can strengthen the case during that time. I don’t know if that is what happened...

This case really stuck for me. Just taking a walk, and then GONE. I'm hoping that it was LE putting together a case - it sounds like they had a "hunch" it was Petry but not enough for a conviction. I'm giving LE the benefit of the doubt here because all along it seemed like nothing was being...
