At least this is good news.

Hope the court gets this right. Duncan knows exactly what he is doing now and then.

I will always think Duncan let Shasta live so he could play the hero as portraying himself as her savior. He could be the ultimate monster with his brutal murder of Dylan and then be redeemed by "saving" Shasta. In the California transcripts of his mental evaluation, it reported he has had many...

This is just another of Duncan's attempts to look human. His brother has been dead for nearly five years even before his trial in Boise when he wasn't the least bit concerned about his mother's needs. He is hiding behind his mother like he hid/hides behind Shasta. Duncan just enjoys jerking us...

Typical Duncan up to his old tricks. My question is if the review upholds that he was competent to defend himself at the sentencing phase and the death penalty stands, does that end his appeals and we can get on with his execution?

First and foremost, he is a psychopath and anything he says will be wrapped around his distorted and evil view of the world. I think the "robbery" was his excuse and not his true motive. He had plenty of time to get out and certainly did not have to encounter the children. His "couldn't bring...

I read it and, truthfully, there is nothing altogether new. Mona's family still insists she is not a "monster," and Jonathan's stepfather was in a bar (Ice House) during the time of the murder, and I assume during the time he would have been paying Mona $20 to dump a crate. For me, the only...

I agree. It is encouraging to read that list of people that put aside their holiday celebration to look for this little boy and for this funeral home to donate the service is truly admirable. Out of all this horror, goodness is still there.

Here's a the news report for the NBC affiliate. http://www.click2houston.com/news/26350316/detail.html Now she is scared. On NBC she is too scared to tell, on CBS she is tough and covering for someone.

I agree -- if MN took offense to anything, it was in her mind and not based on Jonathan's behaviors.

Yes, that is her claim. He supposedly paid her $20.00

Maybe it is bad reporting, but if MN didn't murder Jonathan then others had to be involved. So, was Quanell meeting an obligation or is he going to stand by MN and continue to defend her? That would have to be some relationship for her to take the fall for the murder of an innocent child.

I think that is exactly his goal -- to deflect and excuse. What a stupid excuse -- like they couldn't check that one out. How is it no one even knew she was living in this place? Where/who is the landord? As for her mental state -- don't care. How dare they present her as some kind of...
