Still Missing CA - Maya Millete, 39, missed daughter's birthday, Chula Vista, 7 January 2021 *husband arrested* #6

[Curious Me]

Haven't read it yet, will keep an open mind, but this feels like strategy. Pound the table with noisy allegations of misconduct, create conspiracy where there isn't one. The new way to do law. Smoke and mirrors. And a magic hat.

Oh yes, going by the news presentation of it for a quick take on it, MOO, I agree with you, it's a strategy to delay again. Still reading the documents that were filed, but my initial impressions are that this seems as though defense is using the DA's office to also further blame the victim, to further dirty Maya's name. Plus, back to the affair might be a way to put doubt that she's even dead, and again try to insinuate she ran off. They're saying there were lies that the affair had ended, defense wants to point out it hadn't. This is their way to further make a big deal out of the affair she had. It's seems a nasty defense tactic using the DA's office to further victim blame. You & I know that, regardless, affairs are not an excuse to murder!

Trying to keep an open mind, but all I see are nasty tactics to get another delay. This seems like a covert way of bad mouthing Maya having had an affair. That's what I heard mentioned in the news video, more of the shaming of the victim, IMO, using the DA's handling as a vehicle. I'm seeing red.

A defense tactic demanding the DA's office of misconduct like you said was not an issue until jury selection time? DA's office being accused of making light of the facts of when the affair ended. Oddly, I just posted links to it last night, and lo and behold-- they will be using the Preliminary Hearing proceedings to try to prove the allegations. IIRCC, Day 8 of the Prelim was one of the days the affair was mentioned in the courtroom.

All MOO, and strictly just my initial impressions. ​

GROAN! Larry Millette certainly has a mystique selecting defense lawyers!
However, after years of delays, I'm remaining optimistic that the judge will rub out the defense's latest hail Mary pass and the trial will proceed on course. MOO

The filing further alleges that Chula Vista Police

Defense Counsel has no faith....​

Spoiler: The ones defense names in the motion

Can't prove that all those spells were for Maya. And besides, it was his "extreme desperation to "repair marriage that he ordered those spells which he just said could have been ordered for anyone. Sure.

Going back to the weeks long Preliminary Hearing back in January 2023. LM names who he wants the spells cast upon, May (Maya). I'm also posting links to the Preliminary Hearing from 2023 because that is where the courts are going to look to decide a ruling on this new filing against the DA's office.​

Spoiler: Screenshots of some of the spell cast texts

Just some of the texts LM sent to the spell casters. There's a few more in the video towards the end of Day 7.

Oh, man-- how can we forget that extended day preliminary-- caused mostly because the Judge had to school Larry's attorney (Bonita Martinez) on elementary courtroom procedure and Statute, which nowhere includes bashing the victim! It was painful to watch! The court granted her far much more courtesy than either of them deserved. Never would have happened in the now presiding Judge Camarena's courtroom! JMO

Can we add a descriptor to coercive control?--

Abuse through the court system.

This is all the defendant's personal agenda. Controlling Maya even in death.

Certainly I remember the fiasco of LM's attorney at the time of the Preliminary Hearing, but with this Motion filed that is not what will be looked at. Not that I agree with what the defense is saying at all, but there are some things to worry about depending on how this is going to be looked at to determine if the trial will go forward. It's serious. The whole of the Preliminary Hearing is subject to being trashed, which means we can't move on to a trial. Read the entire motion if you can.
​

Spoiler: My own take on reading the Motion filed

All my own thoughts and MOO about what this motion is attempting to do. I am not legal expert, and it's a struggle to grasp some of this, but here goes. No, I don't agree with the defense, MOO, it's a pitiful attempt to stall and delay. However, this Motion is serious, so I strived to understand how this could be looked at in the legal sense.

I read the whole 29 page motion filed against the DA's office. The main crux of it is about the affair, how it was presented, and that those named in the Motion did not confirm that it was still an ongoing affair because there was still communication between the affair couple -- up until Maya went missing.

What is of concern, the worry might be what was reported in the legal Probable Cause document about the affair's timing was not answered correctly on the stand in the Prelim Hearing. A fact that can be matched up to prove a misleading answer given by the investigator.

From the standpoint of the defense, they call them lies. Defense wanted the DA's office and investigators to stress all this stuff about the affair. Defense wanted the timing to be definite, set in stone either over or not, which I'm not sure is possible in an emotional affair type relationship. The two were still in contact, needed to talk to each other. Oh, but this was an opportunity too, Defense managed to throw in extra dirt about the private communication being sexual in nature between Maya & the man which has nothing to do with anything, but it was defense's chance to further dirty and blame the victim and sexualize it.

Like it or not, the motion is pointing out that the affair was not over in the months before Maya went missing. There was still contact between them, that the DA's office and investigators those being named in the Motion, were aware of it being an ongoing affair up until Maya disappeared, and that wasn't stress enough in the Preliminary Hearing when testifying in the courtroom, and that it matters legally.

There's insinuations that there was a limited investigation, and the man having the affair with Maya was not investigated enough. Insinuations that the there were people that "might not like Maya"-- and that wasn't answered correctly in the courtroom because the man's wife and his m-i-l were "the some people" that did not like Maya. Defense is claiming LM was investigated when it could've been someone else, and that the man & his family weren't investigated maybe enough. It seems the defense wants to throw out the whole case against LM.

This is strictly ALL MOO and at this point subject to change. /SPOILER]​

Larry Millete's defense attorneys accuse prosecutor of misconduct, California AG's Office responds

The defense team for Larry Millete has filed a motion, making serious allegations of prosecutorial misconduct against the San Diego Deputy District Attorney handling the case, however, the California ...

www.yahoo.com

Attorney General Rob Bonta's Response

In a 15-page motion filed Friday, the AG's Office wrote the defendant has not met his burden to show the San Diego District Attorney's office has a conflict of interest based on alleged prosecutorial misconduct.

He writes "there are no affidavits attached to the defendant's motion (which is required under Penal Code Section 1424) showing there has been any prosecutorial misconduct. Further, there has been no judicial finding of prosecutorial misconduct by DDA Bowles. Accordingly, there is no conflict. As there is no conflict, there is no need to recuse DDA Bowles or the entire District Attorney's Office."

A hearing on the matter is scheduled for Thursday. At this point, trial is scheduled for May 11.​
