20 to 30 years. I hope this means without time off for good behavior. I know it probably doesn’t which means he will be released much sooner than he deserves but with the direction Judge Ortiz has steered this case I’m sad but not surprised. By tomorrow morning the sad will have passed and mad will take over. I guess we’ll see in the morning.

I hope Parker’s grandma is ok with this and she has someone to lean on.

RIP Little Parker

He said this notice was sent to "victims in this case." Who do they mean by that? Obviously not THE victim, Parker. So I would think they mean Parker's parents. Except that one parent is the defendant. So do they mean just her mother? But the defendant is living with her mother, so basically same as sending it to the defendant. I think he should take it, but unfortunately, I feel quite sure he will reject it. Without any consideration whatsoever. In fact, I think privately, he (and his wife probably) will laugh at it.

He's gonna turn it down. Gives me no pleasure to predict this. These baby in the car cases, the general gut feeling is "there but for the grace of god go I". What a horrible couple. Those 2 girls will grow up with a skewed sense of right/wrong, no role models. After all, Daddy just couldn't "multi task"

The reporter may have signed up for public state victim notifications. It helps track the status of any offender. I’ve done it myself in some cases.

I’m thinking the same, but why would they bother scheduling it if he wasn’t just a bit interested? Thing is, with his p-rn and booze habits tossed from evidence, it will be a hefty burden on the state to proof he intentionally murdered Parker. As you stated, he will try to chalk it up to a terrible mistake, like other hot car deaths. He doesn’t need to offer a defense at all.

How old is he, 40 or so? I think I myself would choose a possible win instead of 30 years to get out 65-70. The jerk didn't even have to pay a bond, and the wife will do whatever he says. Now the prosecution looks desperate after the drinking record stays out. I guess that means they can't even show the alcohol shoplifting? Oh .

I think It’s possible this was sent to Parker’s grandmother, he interviewed her on the 1 year anniversary of Parker’s death. This is MOO based on him not saying he received this himself & it’s from the SVB. I would certainly consider her a victim.

What if, after a trial, the jury wants to find him guilty, but doesn't want him to serve the rest of his life in prison? Will they know before rendering a verdict, what he would be sentenced to if they said guilty? I don't think so. I thought sentencing was not determined until after the verdict, but IDK. Or is it, in fact, the jury themselves who determine the sentence?

If they want to return a guilty verdict, because they believe he is guilty, then what do they do if they know he will be sentenced to prison, but they don't think he should go to prison? They can't say Not Guilty if they believe he's guilty. Or if they do, would this be a case of jury nullification, if they said Not Guilty even though they believed he was guilty, but they wouldn't return a guilty verdict because they knew they didn't agree with the sentencing? That was a confusing sentence, sorry, plus I may be using the wrong term anyway! I would understand this better if I knew if the jury had any say in the sentencing.

With their plea offer being 20-30 years, doesn't that mean that if he is found guilty by a jury trial, that his sentence will be longer than that?

I've missed a lot here, but murder 1 must have some mandatory range of sentencing? Or is it simply lwop. Would differ from state to state. I think.

Can we check here tomorrow to see if the case will be live-streamed? Is this the correct link?

D. First degree murder is a class 1 felony and is punishable by death or life imprisonment as provided by §§ 13-751 and 13-752.

Ok, he's also being charged with "child abuse". Would it be logical that at least they could get him on child abuse? That makes sense, usually there us a lesser choice, no? Like the treadmill killer.

I would think yes, he could be found guilty of child abuse, since that is already charged. I believe it is also possible the judge could also provide an option during jury instructions that they could find for a lesser charge, such as 2nd-degree murder or manslaughter. But I am not an attorney.

Will his other 2 kids testimony to law enforcement about how many times he'd left them locked up alone in hot cars be allowed?

Will the texts wherein complicit codependent mommywife whines ineffectively about his driving 138mph drunk and his answer as to "shrug/sleeping"be allowed?

Will "how many times" had she TOLD him not to roast her babies (without consequence) be allowed?

Will his phone history while his daughter was roasting be allowed?

Will the survivors' testimony as to daddy/child feeding them but not even noticing one child was missing and nowhere to be found be allowed?

This guy practically prosecutes himself. I so soooo hope he testifies on his own behalf. What a complete self absorbed moron he is. I'd really like to know what he had that his accomplice needed so badly. I don't think the real answer to that has really been revealed yet. I'm guessing there are "secrets".

ARS § 13-3623 is the Arizona statute that defines the crime of child abuse. You commit this offense if, under certain circumstances, you cause a child to suffer physical injury, allow a child to be injured, or allow a child to be placed in a situation that endangers the child’s health or well-being.

Violating this law can lead to a Class 2 felony charge punishable by up to 10 years in state prison.

Have there been very many hot car death cases that sent a bio parent to prison for life?
