Oh I am by no means a boating expert when it comes to this type of situation. I hope I didn't say something to mislead. I do a lot of boating on lakes in the US, but not salt water. But I do think that dingy is extremely tiny for anything other than a VERY short run to shore, and is risky for...

I think if the Bahamas charges him, the US will assist in locating him and extraditing him.

In the video of that news article it shows them in a small boat. Is that the dingy they were in that night?

The photos and video taken moments after the explosions, showing the victims are things I can't unsee. The scope of those crimes is beyond belief. How can people do that to innocent people that they don't even know?

This could be interesting. Yes, check the boat and see if there is a hit. I have seen cadaver dogs do amazing things even in water.

Certainly if there are young kids it makes sense that a wife would just not work at least in the short term. The turn over time of coaches now is literally just 3-5 years? that is Div 1 and it is much longer at lower levels. That is just soooo toxic.

I would agree. Based upon what we know so far, this defendant needs to be in prison. I don't see much rehabilitation hope.

In the one case where I knew a Div I coach, his wife was an elementary teacher, she slipped right into a teaching job in the local school district. I don't know about others, but I wont assume.

I totally agree. But the Bahamians are pretty sophisticated and have released him. As they should. They will continue their investigation. But average citizen's are free to speculate.

I think we are all going to make our own judgments at this point. His history isn't very good and his story is fishy. The police did initially arrest him, but the prosecutors admit there really is no evidence to proceed and let him go. I'll consider his story and stay open minded, but I think...

Maybe BH and Lindsay Shiver could get a place together, share rent.

Now that he is charged as an adult with First Degree murder and SA, he will almost certainly be taken into custody. The Feds will likely have him held in a Florida state juvenile facility. Where I practice now, most federal pretrial defendants are held in local/county facilities.

If she simply fell overboard, she might survive for a day or so, depending upon how good of swimmer/treader she is. But no more than that if she didn't get to land somehow. Also, there are a lot of sharks in the Bahamas waters.

I don't know that it is "rare." I think it depends on the wife's profession/occupation. it is certainly difficult since they have to move and coaches tenures at any one place are often not very long. If Moore's wife was a PA, she could transfer and find employment fairly easily. Thankfully.

The only thing I can think of so far is that TH and his attorneys wanted to avoid having a hearing on this. That would have happened pretty soon and would have required release of more facts of the case and some input from the defense. They want to avoid that. I would suggest that they may...
