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!

<modsnip: Quoted post was removed> 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...

While I somewhat agree with you, I think that nevertheless she needs to be sentenced to prison for the rest of her reproductive life because she is simply incapable of protecting any human she reproduces. And I don’t think she is capable of doing what is necessary to prevent a future pregnancy.

Or maybe it happens later in the day because these kids are in school for most of the day, and as you so well explained, any elopement would be a huge deal so there are many more "safety features" in place at a school. Fingers crossed that Joshua has a found a warm, DRY place and is hiding...

While Uzbekistan does not have an extradition treaty with the US, they did recently sign a "mutual aid" agreement, which might provide LE support. US, Uzbekistan sign Customs Mutual Assistance Agreement. My question is, should he be found dead in Uzbekistan (which I do see as a possibility), I...

I'll add - She began posting about the dangers, traumas and crimes committed against the family so that when he died from a "violent, criminal" attack, there would be a built-in story.

I'm so sorry, I was expressing how unfair your daughter's situation was, not that I could be your attorney. I hope I didn't give you false hope. Good luck finding someone and I'm so sorry for your loss.
