I'd really like to see more people that knew about the abuse charged. This child went through so much before she was murdered . Ashlee should have never gotten her back or been allowed to have her back when family had custody. We see this in too many cases , where a child is allowed to return to the parent(s) . This to me is a child that was murdered when it could have been avoided . The judges and courts have turned a blind eye to protecting children !

Those are my thoughts and feelings as well. Utah LE would know next to nothing about AB and her actions/backstory/behaviours.

And if the trial is in Utah, ALL of the important witnesses would have to go spend time in Utah? The CPS and School District employees, etc. All of Melodee's extended family. All of the officers and investigators from Santa Barbata County too?

Basically AB just took a quick detour, drove several miles over the Utah border, and shot her child and left her there. I still don't understand how that one short span of time takes precedence over all of the other events/incidents leading up to that murder.

JMO, but I want her tried in Utah because when Utah gives the death penalty, they actually carry it out.

Strange that she would leave ammunition in a rental car if this was a planned and calculated murder.

She probably didn't think beyond the actual shooting and murder of her daughter.
