If I were in that courtroom, I'd take a sledge hammer and bash in that monitor that she's hiding behind. Good thing I'm back here in Alabama, behind my own monitor...T looks like she is trying to be Kilroy, hiding under the monitor.
First there was "cousin it" now Kilroy.
No hiding, T we see you...
"The evidence will prove she was sane "
Still waiting to be let into the court room. Biological family is all here. We should be starting opening statements soon.
LETECIA STAUCH OPENING STATEMENTS: Just sat down in court room. Jury coming in any second now.
Letecia is present in the court room. She's wearing a white shirt with flowered pattern on it. Gannon's biological family is here, many in full blue.
Prosecution is starting opening statements now.
"Paramount question you need to answer in this case is sanity."
“This case is about two people, the first is Gannon Jacob Stauch an 11-year-old boy who came into this world premature” - this line and Gannon's picture on the screen prompted Gannon's biological mother to run out of the room with emotion.
"She carried out actions to kill Gannon, to put his body in a suitcase and hide it....to discard Gannon in that suitcase off of a bridge like garbage" - Allen talking about Letecia Stauch
Letecia has her head down and hair is covering her face so we don't see any expression right now.
DA is talking about how Gannon's life was ended in his bedroom. He says Gannon suffered 18 stab wounds to his body. DA says he was then shot.
DA says Gannon was shoved in a suitcase and hidden in a storage unit in the basement. He says Letecia left blood behind in this storage unit but scrubbed walls in bedroom and carpet.
DA says Letecia's clothes were never found but her shoes were found in the washroom drying. DA says Gannon's DNA was found on Letecia's shoes.
DA says the weapon used to stab Gannon 18 times was never found.
GPS location data used to track Letecia's movements lead investigators to a location where they found a board with Gannon's blood on it. DA says board came from Stauch family garage.
48 days later, 1,300 miles from Gannon was killed, DA says his body was found in the suitcase.
DA says the same blankets and pillow that were captured in pictures Letecia took on Jan 27th were found with Gannon's body under that bridge 1,300 miles away.
ALLEN: "All of her actions we’re designed by her to distance herself from what she did/ throw off investigators..escape accountability." "All of her deliberate actions...she knew what she had done to Gannon was wrong...why hide it." "The evidence itself will prove her sanity.”
DA Allen says we will hear from people who can "vouch for her sanity" at the time of Gannon's murder. "People like Al Stauch, the man that was married to her. People like her brother…and most importantly her very own daughter Harley Hunt.”
Letecia's head still down with hair covering her face so we have not seen any emotion.
On Jan. 27th 2020, 6:55 pm the defendant herself called 911. She called 911 to report he was missing and had not come home.
We are hearing the 911 call. When asked who was the last person to see him. She said "Uh, I guess me"

Man oh man! This is so hard to hear. Please somebody? Can she please not go by Gannon’s last name? She had plenty to choose from…
