"He testified about the footprints that were seen leaving the driver's side of Erin's car, and towards another vehicle. Hurtado originally believed the tire tracks of that vehicle matched Chris Lee's jeep, but further investigation revealed they did not. "So who's vehicle did they match to I...

Thinking of possible defense strategies I think the most likely person to get raked over the coals is EC husband.He is the only other person that I know of that the defense can point to who would have motive and opportunity.

As it turned out the 3rd person did eventually end up saying yes.CL simply sent him on a wild goose chase to JNP.That could have been his plan all along.Arrange to meet somewhere and then simply not show up.

I have to admit I did not follow that case.Now that there has been a verdict I have caught some of it on the news.One thing that struck me on the text messages. The judge in that case disallowed a text message from the victim to his sister about who he was with the night he was murdered.My...

Actually when I wrote that I did not think he was involved which made it all the more "bizarre" that he never tried to call him.Now I am not so sure.You have these two ghouls talking about hiding dead bodies to the point where they are talking about security cameras and taking notes.He did see...

It will be interesting to see how the judge rules on the admissibility of these messages.Normally her friend would not be able to testify on what EC told her Lee had said.That would be hearsay.Her friend would have to actually hear lee say these things.In this case though you have the actual...

I wonder what triggered AM to tell NL about the affair "months later".

From your link.lee told him to meet him outside the park did not see him at the entrance and drove around the park looking for him never found him.When lee was not back by 2PM CM tried to call him.I am wondering why CM never tried to call Lee when he was driving around the park looking for him...

For that to happen there would have to be some kind of plea bargain.If the DA seeks the death penalty a plea bargain could be life without parole.If he does not than any plea bargain would require some chance at parole.I do not know if EC's family would consider that severe enough.Sometimes that...

It goes beyond that.The why equals the motive and while prosecutors will say they do not have to prove motive they will always add the caveat but juries sure like to hear one.So I think the why could end up being important in us and the jury in figuring out if this guy is guilty.Even though it...

I guess part of it is trying to find out the why in all of this.Why did he kill her?With him leaving to go back to Alaska in a matter of days it seams so senseless.Is it because he was afraid of the pregnancy coming back to haunt him down the road as some have speculated or was she expecting...

I do not see how she could be "less than two months pregnant" as her husband believed,the affair ended when her husband found out and she believed CL could be the father.At least one of those statements has to be wrong.Take your pick.

"possible pregnancy,could be discussed.could be doubled.additional charges are a possibility". Well that really clears things up.

I wonder if we are going to find out if the DA is going to seek the death penalty in this case or any additional charges?It seams to me by now he should have all the info he needs to make his decision.Unfortunately I feel the longer he delays announcing his decision the more likely it is he will...

I just do not see how those statements incriminate her.She never admits or suggests she took part in the murder.At the most they suggest she knew or suspected her husband committed the crime which legally would make her guilty of nothing.As a spouse she is under no obligation to go to police...
