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...
I hope each and every victim sues this doctor and gets a nice property to go stay at and heal.
@imstilla.grandma - That video of his arrest made my day!

The parents set up a foundation to honor their son. They have continued to search year after year. Yes, they have not made a push for media coverage nor started go-fun-mes. But their actions seem completely appropriate and respectful to me - they certainly...
I just came here to say that maybe a "Monthly Spotlight" of a specific case would be a way for people to feel connected. I've made my donation, but some of the cases needing funding on the Othram website are very compelling! Or maybe including the "Top 10" in the requests for funding! I am...
Not replying to you specifically but want to weigh in on the pendant. My daughters all took jewelry making classes in a pre-college program and it looks so much like what they made. Simple, somewhat amateur-ish but by someone who had access to professional jewelry making equipment. All of which...
