Eventually, Terri will have to decide whether or not to plead the fifth, regardless of the timing of the proceedings.

That sounds like a decline is coming.

Is the abatement granted or declined?

Abated until Jan 6th. Not long.

1:45 p.m. Judge: “The court recognizes Mr. Horman finds himself in middle of any parent’s nightmare, any human’s worst nightmare, and that is true by just the fact than his son has disappeared, but to add to that worst nightmare is that police came to him in June and informed him they had probable cause, that in their view it was more likely than not that Ms. Horman was likely involved in Kyron’s disappearance and she had hired someone to kill him.”

That's a pretty hollow victory for Terri.

That's a pretty hollow victory for Terri.

Pretty much gives just enough time for LE to finish investigating and charge her.

I can't imagine an impartial decision including a phrase that one of the people appearing before him is facing a person's worst nightmare. Goodness.

 

[stmarysmead]

Thank God.

Baby K can be protected for that short period just by legal wranglings. And, hopefully, there will be an indictment before we reach that date.

Here is the deal.

The rude snarky accusatory posts stop right this minute.
The bashing of the bioparents..... don't continue to go there
The comments about appearances don't go there.

Everyone needs to step away for a few minutes and cool yourselves down.

This is your only warning and then the TO's begin. I mean this seriously.

bumping this up

So can we say this is the first time we have proof from an official that in the view of the police department it is more likely than not that Terri was involved in Kyron's disappearance?

That's exactly my delineation as well.

MOO

Something I don't know--is the judge required to rule just on the documents submitted for these issues *only*? Or can LE/the state provide him with documents not discussed in the courtroom or even that TH's lawyers know are being used as part of the decision.

IANAL so would appreciate the help.

You forgot another likely, but other than that, yes.

Very nebulous wording.

Your moniker suggests that the significance of January 6 can't be lost on you

That's a pretty hollow victory for Terri.

I've been swayed by the argument that Terri not fighting the RO is indicative of her guilt and nothing today seems to have changed that. So sad.

Stephen Houze, Terri's criminal defense attorney, said they have sent subpoenas to depose the lead criminal investigator in Kyron's disappearance, Robert O'Donnell, and Rudy Sanchez, the landscaper investigators say was approached by Terri Horman to carry out a murder-for-hire plot against her husband.

Houze said he expects the district attorney's office to thwart that discovery. And if either side can't proceed with discovery, Houze argued that the civil case couldn't practically proceed.

Houze suggested the filing of the divorce case by Kaine Horman represents an attempt by the state to use the civil process to gain discovery for the ongoing criminal inquiry. "There can be no doubt that one of the purposes to be served by discovery is to elicit information by Ms. Horman that would be directly channelled to police,'' Houze argued.
