Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 #28 **ARREST**

[MassGuy]

No idea how someone can do that, we are talking a dead child. Do these people convince themselves of another reality? Did she for a second think he wasn't dead?

I think she was merely trying to be convincing, as her freedom depended on it.

She’s a skilled liar, and likely didn’t feel an ounce of remorse for what she did.

I was talking to someone about this recently, and they said “she’s very believable.” My response was something to the effect of “If you listen to her words though, and understand her thought process and what she’s trying to convey, then it’s not in the least bit convincing.”

Put her up against any innocent person in a similar situation, and everything is wrong with that interview. Gannon was an afterthought, and the primary goal was striking out against her critics, and fooling people into believing her.

A confident person can still be a liar, and being confident doesn’t necessarily mean they believe their own lies.

They just have a horse in the race.

Does this mean she may not know why she was arrested? I'm just trying to understand... Don't they have to clue a person in a little as they make an arrest? Wouldn't the arrest warrant list the charges, and wouldn't she be allowed to read it?

I mean part of me is wondering if she's sitting there wondering if this is all about an expired license or an unpaid ticket (just examples). Surely not, right? I assume it's just an official reading of the charges that the article references, but does anyone know for sure?

I dread reading the affidavit once it's unsealed.

Oh she knows exactly what her charges are. By law it is mandatory to be informed of your charges when arrested. The list of charges were most likely read to her multiple times during processing. MOO

Sorry if this was covered like 1,000 times - I didn't see it. When was the alleged carpet/candle incident supposed to have happened in the timeline?

Sunday night.

Allen says Letecia's lawyer will most likely unseal the arrest affidavit, revealing the reasons law enforcement took her into custody -- and that could happen any day now.[/I]

SBM
Huh, One would think HER lawyer wouldn't want it unsealed.

Good question.

My .02 is that publicly stating that they were charging her with murder in the first along with other charges means that she knows what she's locked up for.

Re. the bolded : Also agree. Anything we've speculated on thus far may be extremely mild and tame compared to what was done to this poor boy !

Every bit of that information (and then some), is going to come out at the preliminary hearing.

So what’s the difference I guess?

Honestly, I think if anything has screamed “guilty”, it’s been this video.

And notice how his question about whether or not there was a hike was met with the daughter being dragged over to confirm that Gannon was home that night. Not to confirm the hike. But that Gannon was there.

Supposedly the older daughter was working and didn't go on the hike.

Nothing posted about LS yet, but here is the page for District 4 Cases of Interest:
Colorado Judicial Branch - 4th Judicial District - Homepage

Same District as the Kelsey Bereth case, but will likely take place in Colorado Springs.

Thank you MG. I Appreciate the analysis, always learning. I need to listen to it again tomorrow with a clear/blank mind to pick up the nuances..ie, her up against any innocent person in a similar situation... primary goal was striking out against her critics, and fooling people into believing her. It will be an interesting experiment for me.

Well, this was what I thought but it sounds so odd to me... "This time she'll learn her arrest charges." Eh, no biggie, I know she knows. Just struck me as odd wording. Thanks!

But when he asked LS about the hike she wanted the daughter to come answer that Gannon was home that night.

What we think we know now (divorce) explains her positioning in that hike day photo: turning her back on his children.

MOO-
Perhaps LS felt that Gannon was directly responsible for her impending (alleged) divorce.

Maybe Gannon had been telling dad about her awful behavior... maybe he told his dad that as long as LS lived there... he didn’t want to.
Maybe he asked to move to be with his mom and dad realized how bad it must be while he is away and decided that his kids “come first” and he told LS he wanted a divorce.
She can’t handle rejection and blamed Gannon for “ruining her marriage” and did the unthinkable out of spite and resentment.
She is an absolute disgrace. I’m disgusted that she is still breathing our oxygen -she doesn’t deserve it.

I don’t want to get off topic here but this is too strange ...people panic and do the unthinkable

Well plus, you gotta try to review the information and come up with some defense questions. Not optimistic there is a defense to be built here but if there is the prelim is an important proceeding and the transcript can be gold later. And even assuming no defense, gotta at least try to function and represent the client. Defense always demands as much info as soon as possible it’s just how it works. MEO

What Is a Sealed Warrant?

Purpose
Courts usually seal warrants for the safety of the suspect or for the security of the prosecution. Sealed warrants must be released to the public 180 days after the suspect is arrested.

Considerations
If a warrant is sealed, the defense cannot read the information in the warrant. Without full access to the warrant, the defense cannot determine whether the warrant was issued with probable cause.



Mechanisms
Under the United States Constitution, sealed warrants are given high scrutiny. Defense attorneys can demand the warrants be unsealed under the First Amendment right to access records. There are also Fourth Amendment grounds for a suspect to have their warrant unsealed, as all citizens of the United States are entitled to inspect and scrutinize the grounds of a warrant.
