Deceased/Not Found AZ - Jhessye Shockley, 5, Glendale, 11 Oct 2011 - #7 *J. Hunter guilty*

[Queen Bee]

well i missed the whole thing as i was posting tweets (really i was taking it down verbatim from the stream as they hardly had tweets) on the james holmes thread.....

but i see GUILTY so i'm crying tears of joy :loveyou:......now i have to go back and savor every post......

:rose: :rose: :Crown: PRINCESS JHESSYE :Crown: :rose: :rose:

there was justice for this precious child today thank you jurors!!!

 

[ontheclock]

Can't wait for June 5th.

How do sentences in AZ work? Here we have time off for good behavior which could make a huge difference.

Are there mandatory minimums? Options for parole? I really want to know how long Jerice will be locked up.

Will both sides offer mitigating/aggravating factors? Or are we beyond that phase?

The only really good option that will come to pass is that Hunter will be behind bars and cannot bear any more little ones to beat on.

But, as far as answers, she faces 35 minimum and life maximum. Since the jury found all 5 aggravating factors, she will not get the minimum, for sure.

Just got home and caught up with the thread. Blessings to all who have stuck with this case from the time precious Butterfly Princess Jhessye first went missing until today. Jhessye deserved that from us and I only wish that the judge had allowed this trial to be live-streamed.

For some reason, I've never doubted that there would be a guilty verdict in this case. It is wonderful that the jury also found all 5 aggravating factors. At sentencing, there is no doubt in my mind that the judge will also weigh the fact that Jerice had been convicted of child abuse in California and spent a considerable amount of time in prison for it. She will also consider that Jerice ripped her baby from a loving home to join her in a homeless shelter.

I see the pictures of Jhessye each birthday with a big block with her age on it. One, two, three, four... and no more pretty pictures, no more birthdays, no more love.

I'm so sorry that I had to miss so many days of the trial due to medical appointments. I commend our Geevee for her faithful posting of tweets, even when she had to wait for hours. I also thank those who filled in for her when she couldn't be here.

I understand why the judge advised that they not talk to the media. I've seen many trials where a juror was replaced towards the end of deliberations and have seen verdicts in no time at all. The fact is, they probably re-named the same foreman and summarized what had already been researched by the jury. The newcomer, if they agree with what they have heard, will add any other opinions they have and a vote is taken. Verdict is announced. The less the jury speaks, the chances of the verdicts being overturned is diminished.

I hope that the sentence minimum will be, at 35 years, long enough for Jerice's other children to have had a chance to heal and move on with their own lives. Hopefully, their lives will be better by not having contact with Jerice and Shirley. I want Jerice, if she ever gets released, to be way too old to bring another child into the world, and the world will be a better place for that. In my personal dreams, I would love to see her sentenced to life without possibility of release.

BREAKING: Jury finds all 5 aggravating circumstances in #JericeHunter child abuse charge. #12news

Yes!!

Omg omg!!!!

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I missed it again! Boy they were quick. So relieved for Jhessye and all who love her. Thank God again.

This is what happens when a jury uses their heads. JUSTICE.

 

[I'mjazzed]

Doesn't matter though... It was the RIGHT verdict!!! Justice again! I hope this is a new trend!! = )

Good job Jury and.. Thank God!!!

ETA~ Marking June 5th on my calendar..

I am so emotional right now that it's difficult to be coherent.

First I want to say....Shirley....Shut The Hell Up.

Shirley seems to conveniently forget that Jhessye was also black. It was never, ever about targeting Jerice or about race at any time. It was about a murdered child.....a vibrant,innocent child who was tortured and discarded by her own mother in such a callous way that it's been difficult to handle. That's what mattered to all of us who ultimately came to love that little girl. It was always about Jhessye. It was always about justice. It was never about Shirley and Jerice.


And then....I want to say Thank You. Our justice system works when everyone involved does their job to the best of their abilities.

Thank you to the investigating officers who were so diligent in their duties. They effectively gathered the evidence needed to prove that Jerice murdered her own child.They were very professional throughout this case even though it was a very difficult time for them. It must have been awful to deal with what their investigation uncovered. Thank you to those officers who tried to find Jhessye and to those who worked tirelessly in the landfill despite the dangers they faced. Their efforts were truly heroic. Thank you to the neighbor for telling the truth about the trip to Tempe. And thank you to Jhessye's sister for having the courage to speak up about what she witnessed. Thank you to the jury for paying attention, and for delivering justice to a child who deserved no less. Thank you to the prosecutor for the hard work and for presenting the facts in such a way that the jury could make the right decision. And thank you to the judge for making every effort to ensure that this was a fair trial. And finally...thank you to Lisa, Mahagony, and the true family of Jhessye for representing her so well to the jury. To hear in open court what happened to the child you loved must have been unbearable. She needed you there to stand up for her. These people are all Jhessye's champions. They let Jerice and Shirley know that Jhessye was loved and that she is the one who mattered.

Our beautiful little Butterfly Princess is truly,finally free now.

 

[katydid23]

So now the other children are finally safe. The monster under the bed has left the building.

Next up-Shirley. Please please please, charge Shirley.

I second that motion. PLEASE charge Shirley too. She was supposed to have custody and she handed the kids off to this monster.

 

[believe09]

Shirley and Jerice are filled with hate-that is how we all ended up here. They try and deflect it with racially charged rhetoric, but really they have been found out and now everyone knows what happened.

Jhessye's sister was believed. That should help her as well. I am hoping Shirley is separated completely from those poor children because it is going to rain down on that child undoubtedly.

 

[katydid23]

I agree. I really do not want Shirley to get her claws onto any of those poor kids again. She is just as despicable as her daughter. I hope the children can be in a safe loving place and heal from this nightmare.

 

[geevee]

On the docket:

Minute Entry with the Verdicts and Aggravating Factors:

http://www.courtminutes.maricopa.gov/docs/Criminal/042015/m6807468.pdf

They did voir dire all of the jurors yesterday morning before replacing #2 with #4 and sealed those proceedings until after the conclusion of the trial, hopefully it will be unsealed after sentencing and we can learn what that was all about. There was also a jury question during the aggravation phase.

 

[Knox]

Her facebook page ... still insisting Sweet Jhessye is alive and the State of Arizona just quit looking for her.

I had forgotten some of what she alleged back when she was trying to regain custody of the older children (seem comment section at link below). Please God keep them safe, don't allow this woman to even communicate with them, ever again.

I read that the jury found 4 of the 5 aggravating factors. Do they say which ones or just how many they found?
Thanks Knox for the linl to the paperwork. I see the four that they found. Still kind of wondering what was the one they didn't find.

Check the minute entry I linked above, it shows all the charges as well as aggravating factors and the jury's verdicts on them.

 

[EllaMae]

Will it be up to the State of California to charge Shirley with something?

Updated.

Just a note... today was the first time I ever tried to access this from my phone. Very frustrating! Much better using a computer. Now I get why so many people don't bother with the case archives.

Shirley gets away with any wrongdoing on her part. Nobody will bother with her. IMO.
