I tried to find a link, but it's embedded somehow in that story and won't give a link. It's perp walks of both of them, with AL talking and asking reporters to write to him if they want answers. He almost gets hit in the face with a large tv camera. CL never says a word, nor changes expression.

Thanks! When I try to click to view it asks if I'm a subscriber. Grrr. Gotta get to my pc soon and watch.

What makes this nut job a bad parent is the fact that she married that evil dipwad and put her own needs/desires above those of her children. Selfish and inexcusable. What an idiot. This child is far better off with her father by the sounds of things. I hope if CL is found not guilty, that the daughter stays with her father. JMO

I would have to question the parenting skills of anyone who marries a man she won't even leave her teenage child with alone while she's at clinicals. I've been a divorced single mother CL's age. I get making questionable and bad dating decisions, trust me. I'm embarrassed by some of the choices I made during that period of my life. (For example, I saw the movie Ted and pretended to like it :facepalm: ). Poor self esteem, loneliness.....can be a recipe for disaster. But, when it comes to who you allow around your children, your brain absolutely has to be working at 100% so you don't really mess up! She really messed up!

Agreed. I think as mothers we give up the right to be selfish and self-destructive when we give birth. Not saying anyone's perfect...I am far from it. But putting your kids first is what needs to happen. I feel bad for the daughter. She deserved a better mother, period. JMO

"During the plea hearing and arraignment, Arron Lewis was heard requesting permission to send letters to Lowery from prison. He has apparently has been doing so since she was taken into custody, but he felt the letters were not going through."

Of course he did. In his wildest dreams he can't imagine that CL is actually getting his letters and ignoring him. What a pompous . Are all murderers so narcissistic? Anyway, if CL is ignoring him, good choice on her part. A little too late in my opinion though.

I wonder if she'll exercise spousal privilege.
If she's smart, she'll testify against him.
Do you think LE is giving her the opportunity to flip on him, or would that have been given prior to her being arrested and charged?
Not sure how that works...

No, but thank you for trying.
I'll look on the pc when I get home. I'm "waiting room" sleuthing.
Have we seen this video?
AL nods yes to the question, are you willing to plead guilty to capital murder and kidnapping charges.

Some were talking about CL not getting an attorney before speaking to police. I was re reading some things and a couple things stood out. Stuff that has been spoken here quite a bit. It seems to me at least, getting served with the Emergency Custody Change papers is what kicked it into gear for CL to get an attorney.

Oct 17, at 915 am CL was served with the Emergency change of custody orders signed by Judge Kilgore on Oct 16, granting TL temp custody.
Unsure what time CL went to court hearing on the custody this date, but at 1:13 pm Entry of Appearance of Attorney Richard E. Holiman was entered in CL Theft by Receiving case. Then at 2:40 electronically filed for divorce entered, 2:25pm Summons issued, and 2:45 A Payment of -$165.00 was made on receipt 60CI176943. I will go out on a limb and say she went to the lawyer 1st, and then did the divorce filing, then on to court hearing on custody. Most likely having in hand the divorce papers ~ showing electronically filed and which stated she didn't know he was a 7 time felon when she married him. I say this because of the way #3 reads on the Oct 17th Emergency hearing, where The Court questioned the credulity of CL not knowing he was a 7 time felon.

Something else I realized in the wording... Been over this enough times to make ill... but hear me out then I done..per court order on Oct 17, the court was prepared to return custody to CL after she testified under oath that she did not do illegal drugs. So they did a urine test, which came back positive for PCP. So they grant temp custody to TL. An expedited hearing will be granted if CL submitted to a hair follicle drug screen. #8 states "If the hearing is more than 2 weeks from Oct 21, 2014..." by it stating this date, I feel confident that is the date appointment set w/company while in court.

Hearing took place on Friday Oct 17th, SIGNED by Judge Kilgore and was electronically filed on Oct 31 st. Day after CL was arrested. This was filed Friday Oct 31 and the next Friday, Nov the 7th, Judgment /Order/ Decree in the Nov 7th ORDER
#2 states that on OCT 21st a 5 panel hair follicle test was done and results were negative. <<< in the Oct 17th EMERG Custody Order the #8 ref this same date. Oct 17 was Friday and Oct 21 was following Tuesday. CL either lied/misspoke to NJ or it was confused in translation that both urine test and hair follicle test were done on same day. My reasoning and i could very well be flawed but just how the 2 orders read, I believe the testing was set up on Oct 17 to be done 21st. And in Nov 7th ORDER, it states test was CONDUCTED on 21st. #3 TL is awarded temp custody of children and a final hearing set within 3 months of the entry of this order. #4 states that CL is incarcerated. So this order was more or less a pulling it all together of facts in case and giving a time frame for final custody order.

I guess I am missing your point. It really doesn't matter if there was a four day difference, as hair follicle test can go back 90 day or longer. Maybe I am just not understanding your point.

Quote:
What time period does a standard hair follicle test cover?
A standard hair follicle screen covers a period of approximately 90 days, but is susceptible to time variation depending on the growth rate of your hair. The hair sample is cut as close to the scalp as possible and the most recent 3.9cm (or 1.5 inches) are tested. It is possible to go back even further than 90 days since the time period is limited only by the length of the hair sample, but is standardized to a 90 day history.

So they will see each other in court.

I wondered that too.

Bless Carl Jr. heart. I know this is terrible but if it were my mom I would be right there too.

I swear AL just looks like he loves the attention.

 

[Bull]

His attorney says that AL is really upset that CL has been charged.

Very interesting....as much as he likes to talk, I don't think he is rolling over on her about anything. He may have initially thought using her phone, house, etc would be a good cover for him but never would have wanted her to get charged. This little piece punches a few holes in some theories. IMO.

Update: Suspect in Realtor Kidnapping-Murder Case Ordered to Have Mental Evaluation

New video from this a.m.

 

[Tallula.Belle]

Write what....letters? Aren't inmates allowed to do that?

Not supposed to be allowed written contact with any others incarcerated. That is standard. Wonder what he wants to say.

ETA at least not in the states that I know of. AR could be different but I didn't think co defendants were ever allowed. JMHO

So Lewis entered an insanity plea? Then says he's refusing a metal health evaluation??

 

[Tallula.Belle]

Judge probably didn't want to play AL's stupid games. It was perfectly legal & okay for AL to write CL. He just had to do something, anything to bring attention to himself. He is a consummate manipulator, IMO, and knows every trick in the book.

Where do you get it is legal? I have never known inmates, regardless of where they are housed, even in different states that can write each other. It is banned. All jail and prison mail is stamped. You can be put on lockdown for that.

ETA at least not in the states that I know of. AR could be different but I didn't think co defendants were ever allowed. JMHO

 

[Tallula.Belle]

So nothing really happened today except to set the next court date?

Edited: I see now he entered a plea. Did she?

Well his plea was made by mental insanity. Now he has to go through evaluations. Which is all BS.

This confuses me too.

It sounds like his official plea was not guilty due to insanity.....so can he actually refuse the evaluation? If he's truly "crazy" (yeah right...crazy like a fox) then how can he make that call?

 

[Tallula.Belle]

If I said 17th I misspoke. I NEVER said the urine and hair follicle were different days or that one was a week before the other. I always knew they were same day. That day was the day they went to custody court Oct 21st. I may have said it takes 4-7 days to get results back on hair follicle test. She was waiting on those results for about a week.

@Butler321 can easily verify this and clear up this matter since she seems to be believed when I'm not. That's ok and it does not hurt my feelings. I just know the FACTS on this one and if the court docs are confusing then I'm sorry.

You actually stated more than once that the test WERE DONE the same day. You have been questioned repeatedly on this.

wow- please let it go--- NJ is not a criminal to be questioned..

Wow I didn't think he cared about anyone but himself. Maybe he didn't throw her under the bus.
