Found Deceased CO - Gannon Stauch, 11, Colorado Springs, El Paso County, 27 Jan 2020 *Arrest* #53

[Love Never Fails]

Absolutely. It’s gonna be a circus. She won’t allow Gannon or his parents any dignity in this trial.

Remind you of Jodi Arias?

Absolutely. It’s gonna be a circus. She won’t allow Gannon or his parents any dignity in this trial.

I am generally in favor of live broadcast trials but am gratified that this one is not. I hope that Gannon's family attends virtually and will be shielded from her, her clothes, and any facial expressions she exhibits. I, for one, will be happy that she will boxed into not having the stage for 8 hours a day for the duration of the trial. The only moment that will count for this family is going to be the guilty verdict and the sentencing. There is so little doubt as to her actions and it will be heart breaking to hear the details presented and then argued by her lawyers. Ms. Incompetent will love the idea that so many people won't see her but, who cares? I am all about his family and she is just a pathetic punctuation mark. I will be happy when she is never again seen by the public except in updated mug shots.

I hope this Judge has 1/10th of the calm and honorable demeanor of Judge Newman in the Murdaugh Trial.

I do have to admit reading this whole case (finally up to date, hi) has been one long series of, "Oh, she's back on her cowpoop again."

I also foresee courtroom garbage.

I think the precaution of bolting laptops to the table is not only wise but necessary. Court staff should be able to go about their duties without having laptops flung in their direction. The court reporter who was almost hit by the laptop thrown by that other offender in the direction of the judge... that's unacceptable. They have to type up traumatic stuff every single day, accurately. We talk about the impact on jurors. At least they can show emotion and reach for the tissues, and a trial, eventually, is over. A court reporter just has to keep typing. And then come back to the next trial and do it again. They shouldn't have to dodge projectiles into the bargain. And with what we've seen from this defendant, I wouldn't put it past her to lash out at anyone in range if it satisfied the need in her to cause a scene. Glad he's preemptively removing those items from play long before the trial begins.

MOO

IIRC, Joe DeAngelo sat in a cage for his proceedings (the courtroom was in the jail building). However, he didn't have a jury trial.

I wonder how the judge will react if LS(Tee) throws something (including a tantrum). I figure they'll keep her discreetly shackled, in her orange jumpsuit.

IMO

I was looking back at some of the documents and saw this Endorsement of an Expert Witness for the State. He just testified in the Murdaugh trial.

If she appears in orange, my understanding is that it's because it's her choice to do so. I think she is within her rights to wear civvies, and enter before the jury so they don't see any restraints. It helps to prevent prejudgements. However, I am not a lawyer, so if I am incorrect, please correct me.

MOO

I am not a lawyer either or play one on TV - but I believe - yes she has/had a choice on what to wear to trial. She opted for the orange jail suit....

^^^ At the 1:20-1:30 mark in the video it's reported that Letecia had a brown paper bag she put on the table, then 20 minutes later some other inmate picked it up, and it was given to Lawrence the woman who died later that day. Guards / Prison Officials don't see that as related incidences? It sure makes me nervous and makes me wonder what the heck was going on with this paper bag.

Sure, they say unrelated, but Letecia's name was mentioned because of that bag she laid down and somebody picked up, gave to the woman who died. Do they know what was actually in the bag? Why would it be transferred around like that? MOO, and my own suspicious distrust of LS. ​

decoy, maybe.

*There’s got to be a delusional strategy going on in her narrative. Could it be to elicit sympathy from the jury. And…could it backfire? I found an unrelated case:
…
In what his appellate counsel calls "an unusual, perhaps surreal, issue," Henderson argues it was error for the trial judge to require that he also be shackled during trial, a restraint to which he did not agree. On the first day of trial, prior to jury selection, the extensive discussion among the trial judge, defense counsel, and the prosecutor was initially only about whether Henderson could decide—against his interests—to wear his orange jumpsuit at trial.

Once that issue was resolved in Henderson's favor, the issue of shackling was raised for the first time, defense counsel asking that the "shackles be removed" (to reduce the additional negative impact on the jury of Henderson's choice of prison clothing) and questioning the need for them ("I really don't understand how he would need to be shackled"). The trial court, however, viewed the uniform and shackles as a "package deal" that couldn't be split apart. Much like "shower shoes," shackles were merely an accoutrement of prison garb that would make no difference to the jurors, who would "figure it out pretty quickly" that Henderson was currently incarcerated.

But shackles are qualitatively different than an orange jumpsuit or standard issue PVC prison shower sandals; the former is an inherently prejudicial physical restraint that implies dangerousness that might easily bias a jury.

("t is not an uncommon defense tactic to produce the defendant in jail clothes in the hope of eliciting sympathy from the jury."); Demurjian v. State, 727 So. 2d 324, 327 (Fla. 4th DCA 1999) ("Counsel testified that it was his tactic to have the jury notice that appellant was wearing prison garb to evoke sympathy."). Henderson's trial counsel argued that the shackles would make a bad situation worse…

That would be a dream come true if Judge Newman could take over this trial. This trial could turn into a clown show if someone doesn't take control from the jump.

I’m apparently having a memory lapse. I thought the evil witch was having a bench trial. How did we get back to a Jury trial?

I think she asked for one but didn't get it. I'll try and find a link.

On Thursday, March 9, 2023, the 4th Judicial District Attorney (DA) Michael Allen said despite not having the final sanity report from a defense expert, the prosecution still wants to move forward with the set trial date of March 20, 2023.

DA Allen said the prosecution’s hope is to receive the report prior to trial, so his team can have experts from the State Hospital interpret the findings.

Judge Werner ordered the submission of the final sanity report to the court by Thursday, March 16 at 5 p.m. “It is not a suggestion, it is not a guideline, it is not a hope, it is a deadline,” said Judge Werner.

The prosecution said that if the document arrived too late, they might ask the court to keep this expert witness from testifying. So far, they only received preliminary impressions with no final conclusion, a prosecutor said. The state also noted two other doctors did meet with her in the pretrial period.

In addition to the mental health report, the defense also wants Stauch, 39, to undergo an MRI.

And that’s a wrap today. Jury trial slated for March 20th.

And just to clarify. A second mental health evaluation will be taking place, but at county jail with no EEG.

Boy, not me. I'd need some Dramamine and a bottle of Scotch. And I don't even drink Scotch.

My Medical Board doctors always used to advise drinking scotch and water to avoid a hangover. They said it was taught to first year medical students right off the bat. I quit drinking three years ago or I’d join ya. It’s gonna be a wild ride for sure. I’m wondering if she’s gonna call Eduardo as a witness. Geez, that woman is so delusional, I actually think she believes herself and is gonna pull a rabbit out of the hat to shock the judge and jury.
