So how did LS think this was going to work: AS (and LH too)was going to accept some bad dude took and murdered my son, and thank G_d he only raped my wife.. but we'll just move on with our lives, and remember Gannon in our prayers. Was that it? Dumb and hated criminals are a reality -- they do exist.

Amazing isn’t it?

Iffffff, that is Al's new wife and baby, I personally love it all around. He should have the moral support of a loving wife during this trial. And the snarky part of me loves the major F you that Tee is probably perceiving it as.

She takes a son and new wifey provides one. From a real pregnancy. Not one faked from internet photos.

God is good.

Yep, I know… I’m surprised either she or the baby are there. Considering… ya know. Landen.

What does this mean?

I think they are allowed to ask questions of witnesses..

Interesting! I don't think I've ever seen where that's allowed. Thank you and @Kiranerys

What does this mean?

It means I’m very sympathetic to Gannon’s mother and her feelings. Trying to get back here to edit but something keeps wanting me to buy a $6500 bike. I wanted to say, I think it’s a beautiful photo and he looks so proud of his new family. It wasn’t a comment against him but for Landen.

This is specific to certain states that allow it. The jurors can submit written questions after each witness. The questions go to the judge who sidebars with the attorneys where they decide which if any of the questions will be asked. I saw this only in one other trial I've watched (can't remember which one) but thought it was really cool.

Hmmm, you bring up an interesting point. Was Letecia strong enough to hoist the suitcase by herself? It makes me wonder if she had help from her daughter.

Great question. I think she had moved the body around several times before the suitcase by herself though? Thinking then that she must be strong enough. Or she had help right from the start. (JMO, I have no idea. I just remember his body got moved.)

Terrible to have dragged her daughter into her crimes as it was, and I don't put it past her to demand daughter help her further. The thought of that trip with the suitcase right in the vehicle is a ghastly thought.​

I hate her so much.
Here for you, Gannon.

I think they are allowed to ask questions of witnesses..

I've sat on a jury here. Could ask as many questions as we wanted - most were denied though ha

Yep, I know… I’m surprised either she or the baby are there. Considering… ya know. Landen.

I would sure hope there's mutual support all the way around since they're all there for 1 thing, and that's justice for Gannon. I'm glad to see Al's happy and I hope Landen is too. I wish them all nothing but the very best.

Why were there scissors in the dishwasher?

I saw it in another Colorado trial that I followed closely. Mark Redwine trial in 2019.
After the verdict they actually posted the handwritten questions to the Court site :

I think I get what you're saying and wonder the same. Of course the entire family is there in support of Gannon. But that doesn't mean the presence of the new son may not be comfortable for Landen to acknowledge day after day. I don't know where Landen and Al are in acceptance with each other at this point, but there will surely be bandaids ripped off during this trial.

Criminal Investigator and Santa Rosa, Florida, Major Crimes Detective Jason Yoder also took the stand Wednesday afternoon and detailed what he found in the suitcase upon arriving at the scene.

“There was a suitcase on the ground opened [and] what appeared to be a human body rolled out of the suitcase, covered with bedding and a pillow,” Yoder said, adding that the body was dressed in “jogging pants, an athletic top and football socks.”

Yoder said they determined the body may have been Gannon by noticing his distinguished front teeth, while the body’s size and description matched a missing child flyer from El Paso County, Colorado.
