Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 *Arrest* #50

[MsBetsy]

I have faith that the judge will have extra security and fortification around her. Nothing she would try in the courtroom would surprise me. I'm leaning toward another escape attempt or physically attacking someone.

Well, her biggest complaint in her letter to the judge was that she was always restrained and under scrutiny. She complained that she could not write notes and had suffered many injuries from her restraints. She mentioned not being able to use the law library and could not speak to her attorneys without someone listening or being recorded.

Maybe she's thinking acting as her own attorney will give her more freedom and a chance to plan something.

She wrote that she has turned in evidence that will prove her innocence and reveal who is responsible. Could this be part of the evidence she mentioned in court? She said "their" runners must know people in high positions and were likely responsible for the peanut butter threats.

Oh my!

Not surprised one little bit. Of course T is an expert. She knows everything.

DA Allen will destroy her. Yay!

Bring it on T. Let's get this party (or poker game for that matter), started.

Never, have I ever, come across anyone like Leticia.

Definitely one to be studied.

Justice for Gannon!

This quote from Spencer’s Twitter... She says “expert” means nothing and then proceeds to call herself one.

“I’ve come to find that the word expert doesn’t hold much value, and I’m the expert here”

 

[WildOrchid]

I don’t think LS is claiming she is a legal expert. I think she means “who else knows more about what happened here than I do?” She’s an “expert” in what really happened. Get ready for a giant heaping unwanted vat-full of word salad. It can be explained away once everyone calms down and listens to what she’s trying to communicate. Look there, not here. She’s the innocent, good-hearted martyr here. Look at what she has sacrificed. Everyone owes her an apology. And since she’s the “expert” in her situation, she can prove it.

Yup-- hearings/trials by twitter often prove difficult to get the full context. I think the following gives a better picture of what LS conveyed at her hearing:

Judge grants Letecia Stauch the right to represent herself in court

The judge made a statement in court on Friday saying having an attorney would provide someone with more experience than Stauch. She reportedly responded saying “I’ve come to find that the word ‘expert’ doesn’t hold much value, and I’m the expert here. I think that I could do it on my own sir, it’s a constitutional right”.

[..]

Judge Gregory Werner spent several minutes trying to explain the benefit of having an attorney, but Stauch continued to assert she had an “Ace in the hole” and that “two pieces of evidence would completely prove her innocence.”

Eventually Judge Werner said it was his job to make sure she understood what she was getting herself into, and that while it wasn’t a wise decision, it is her constitutional right to represent herself.

Stauch alleged her decision wasn’t because she thought her representation was doing a bad job, she called them “fine ladies,” but that the jail was mistreating her and blocking her from being able to see parts of the case she believes she has a right to.

ROFLMAO!

SHACKLES — The judge allowed both accused to sit at counsel’s tables, rather than in the prisoner boxes, largely because Millard was representing himself. The judge had court staff set up black curtains on the outside of the tables in order to shield the jury from seeing Millard and Smich’s leg shackles.

That is what I thought I remembered. They had the tables underneath blocked, but I couldn't find it quickly to post.
Thank you

She's the expert because she knows every detail about what she did when she killed Gannon and tried to cover up her crimes.

I'm expecting shades, mini skirt and hair covering her face, stilettos, with the option to use them as weapons.. a physical attack on at least one person, possibly call her daughter to testify, all of Gannon's parents' past partners, the entire army or whoever it is Al works for, etc ad nauseum.

BBM Made me laugh out loud! Thank you - you created a great visual for me! #JusticeForGannon coming!

OMG that's so spot on. Good catch!

OK--
This last paragraph-- "the Jail is mistreating her and "BLOCKING her from being able to SEE parts of the Case she believes SHE has a RIGHT to.
Basically, She wants to see what they have.
She wants to see it ahead of trial as she thinks it will help her.
Her motive is to get the information they have against her. IMO
I call BS on 'HER 2 PIECES OF EVIDENCE"
She wants access to their documents because SHE BELIEVES SHE HAS A RIGHT TO and with having attorneys, she is not able to have that access.

Two Pieces of Evidence??

https://www.courts.state.co.us/userfiles/file/Court_Probation/04th_Judicial_District/El_Paso/Stauch/Stauch FINAL redacted 040120.pdf

Here's the link to the affidavit of probable cause filed in support of LS arrest warrant.

32 pgs of interviews, search warrants, etc.

Thank you for reposting this. I need to read it again refresh my memory. Too many of T’s stories & lies mixed with months waiting for her trial, has made it hard to remember all details.

 

[Error505]

So what are the “2 pieces of evidence that no science or expert can discredit”? I’m quoting LS from the breaking news article. What can it be?

She has to know that there are no surprises in real-life trials, right? She knows that if it wasn’t produced in discovery, there’s very little chance of that evidence getting admitted...right?

JMO

“No science or expert can discredit”
(1) will be throwing her “Christianity” in the mix. “God knows she’s not capable of harming G.” type statement. She’s nuts!

 

[wyome]

My bet's on Edgar, the guy Al supposedly owed money to. I think that was story #412, allegedly given in September 2020 jail interview. Her anger for her husband know no bounds.

 

[shotgun09]

Bat- crazy examples:

Jodi Arias......Doggy door entrance

Leticia Stauch....Quotes a Kenny Rogers song about gambling and life to the judge handling her case. And, then claiming to the same judge ( BLUFFING anyone? ) she has secret evidence!

Bhawaahaaaahaaaa!!!

These murderous women are truly living with a hole in their marble bag.

I don't understand. Are you saying the client doesn't have a right to see discovery materials? That only the client's lawyers do?

I can easily believe there could be technical difficulties sharing materials because of the visitation rules put in place because of COVID. And I can imagine attorneys wanting a client to focus on A not obsess over materials related to the legally meaningless B or the indisputable C. And I can easily imagine attorneys would want to build a defense their way (as despite LS's claims, they are the experts ) But I don't understand if something is legally discoverable, why the defendant wouldn't be allowed to know about it or see it. And all the defense attorneys will have, I assume, will be those thousands of pages of discovery. It's not as though the DA is sharing documents or anything else he doesn't have to share with them. I don't get it.

 

[WildOrchid]

She probably also wants to see exactly what the state has on her so she can come up with counter-arguments. I think this all comes down to control for her. She wants to explain in her own (many many exhaustive) words what actually happened. The result/findings won’t change but I expect the levels of astonishment to go through the roof when we experience a year’s worth of bottled up explaining. Poor GS and his little sister. :’(

She's the expert because she knows every detail about what she did when she killed Gannon and tried to cover up her crimes.

 

[catch_22]

It seems to be a foregone conclusion that she will be "removed" at some point. Quite possibly even very early on in the proceedings. I hope her being removed doesn't help her in the appeals process.
"I was defending myself and they removed me because they knew I had proof of my innocence." Or something like that.

Personally, I think she decided to represent herself mostly for the attention. I think she knows that she will be found guilty with, or without, a competent attorney so she has nothing to lose. She wants books written and movies made about her. She wants to be as disruptive as possible. She wants the infame. Disturbingly, I think it will give her some comfort as she rots in her cell for the next fifty years.

MOO

 

[MontereyMama]

I think it's hilarious the judge is letting her represent herself. What everyone but the big L can see clearly is that with her 'help' it'll be a slam-dunk case! Imo

 

[JMapes]

LS is wild, irrational, ridiculous, violent, terrifying, reckless, unpredictable, absurd, strange, unnatural, outrageous, impractical, unbelievable, senseless, but one thing she is decidedly not is "crazy".

Now that we've been through LS's mental evaluation on numerous occasions, can we shelf the use of "crazy" and move on to more accurately descriptive terms to describe this bloviating sack of human excrement that knew full well what she was doing?! This ball of wet, matted dog hair that actively made the decision to murder a child?! This pile of old toenail clippings that abused and tortured a small boy until his death!?! SHE IS SO MUCH MORE THAN a 5-letter ableist word!!

Just my small plea, if you care about mental illness, please rethink your use of the words "crazy" and "insane", there are a lot better ones out there to describe TS that don't perpetuate the inferiority of people with disabilities.

I can't believe her whole motive in representing herself was just to see what dirt the prosecution already has on her. She's gonna need to perform some Olympic level Tee-splaining to try and get anyone to believe her lies...But she thinks she has a gold medal in that already LOL.

IMO.
