@SavvyRose I tried to send you a PM but would not allow. I just wanted you to know that I pray for you daily. I know this is probably a hard time of the year for you with the holidays and that the trial for your dad is coming up soon. I hope you are doing well.

Thank you so much. I really appreciate the thoughts.

I dont think I could be on a jury for a murder case. Every time I saw tears in the victims families eyes Id want to cry. Even worse if the victim was a child or a teen. I cried watching Carl Jr on NG talk about his mama. It would be so much worse in a court room.

I am not questioning the 4 day follicle test. I am not going strictly off of docket dates. It really doesn't mean diddle, but I am going by what is in the court orders, signed as fact by the judge. My comment orig was CL didn't get in a hurry about getting an attorney it appears, until she was served with the Ex Parte Order (which was pursuant to conditions detrimental to welfare of a minor. This is why CL wasn't informed and the child was picked up at school.)

If you read the ORDER that Judge Kilgore signed and is electronically filed on the Oct 31, it clearly states that ON THIS 17th Day of October came the Defendants petition for Change of Custody and the court finds:... It states CL testified under oath that she didn't do illegal drugs. They were fixing to give her custody back, but they drug tested her and she failed the urine test. THEN goes on to award TL temp custody (which he already had been awarded on the prev day OCT 16, so there was no reason to make another order) further on it states IF CL goes to have the follicle test done the court will grant her an expedited hearing.... She already had a hearing set for the 21st. IF they were in court ON the 21st it state if the hearing is more than 2 weeks past the 21st then it recommends the ad litem from before. Final Hearing was set for Nov 13. Also it goes into that visitation was not addressed but that phone visitations would be appropriate.

Another thing I just noticed: on the orig Ex Parte it doesn't list an Attny other that TL (understandable) The one that states On Oct 17th, and filed Oct 31 it lists at bottom typed in Richard Holiman. But Holiman didn't sign. On the Nov 7th order in the space it says/signed Richard E Holiman, attorney for the Crystal Lowery. All are signed as approved by TL attorney. All are signed by Judge Kilgore.

IF TL and CL were in court on Oct 21st... there is a lot more messed up than court docket data entry. I not trying to beat a dead horse. Kids are where they need to be at this time.

LOL another thing, I would assume CL was released on some sort of bond when she was arrested on Sept 29th (TL confirms she was arrested Sept 29 in his Affidavit) and he also states she drove to Kansas. I would think driving to Kansas would be against some of the rules on bond, unless she got permission from whomever was the bond person. Possible she was O/R.

Ok I done

Glad we are done with the hair follicle custody case discussion! :happydance:

I know. A bunch of friends went in together and raised the money. She was shocked and I think embarrassed, because she is very private but her grown daughter had spilled the beans, so to speak. We were happy to help. Now it is just waiting through the process.

What a kind thing to do! You are a great friend, Tallula Belle. Helping her in her time of need is remarkable :angel:

Thank you. She really is deserving. She had been a stay at home mom for 24 years, when her husband left her for another woman. She got the shaft in the divorce and the ex has just been rotten. The new wife won't even allow my friend or the grown daughter pull in the driveway to pick the kids up for visitation.

She has gotten a good job and getting things back together. Sad thing is the attorney really didn't have to do much other than a few filings. Certainly not $5k worth. Crazy.

Looks like AL is getting that mental evaluation whether he wants it or not. Lots of interesting tidbits in the article and a couple of factual errors (e.g., CL's a mother of three, not two).

I don't recall seeing that AL was found with a gun when he was caught. Maybe I missed that?

When police found Lewis the next day -- four days after Carter vanished -- at an apartment complex on Green Mountain Drive in Little Rock, he was carrying a gun and had been driving a dump truck that had been reported stolen from his employer.

Mental evaluation updated/listed this morning.

They will also be tried separately according to the same article.

Most significantly for Lowery in her five-minute court appearance was that chief deputy prosecutor John Johnson told the judge he has agreed to try her separately from her husband.

I'm not a mod, but my understanding is only 10% of the article may be copied/pasted to comply with copyright laws.

Is it normal to ask if a witness is being compensated for there testimony ?

CL might be asking to testify against AL

I'd never heard that about a gun. It wasn't listed on the police report for his arrest.

Wasn't he charged with possession of firearms though? I don't remember anything but gloves and a box cutter being mentioned upon his arrest.

My guess on the gun is he had firearms in the house when searched and he is a felon so that was an added charge.

These look like standard stock questions to me. Maybe they are asked in every case? I know in family court there are standard questions asked in divorces about bank accounts regardless if the person has a bank account or not.

What did I read or hear on the local news that AL still claims another male should be in custody? Can someone help me search?

 

[beaglebrd]

Here's a snippet from the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette article that is by subscription only: Announcing the discovery
of Carter’s body, deputies said
that Lewis had contacted Carter
the day she was last seen
alive by her family, posing
as a potential client and arranging
a meeting at the Old
River Drive home in Scott
where her car and phone
were found.
Information from Carter’s
phone drew Lewis to the attention
of investigators, officials
said, but no more information
was released by authorities.
Prosecutors subsequently got
a court order to keep the evidence
that led to the couple’s
arrests secret, saying they
feared pretrial publicity would
taint the jury pool.

Other than talking about "trevor" during his first perp walk?

This is what I understood to have happened.

One thing I'm learning recently. MSM is so worried about being first that they have become extremely sloppy fact checkers. I've seen so many various accounts watching this story!
