Is a proffer mean a deal? They made a deal with HH? Or, she couldn't be charged because she was a minor??

HH was essentially given immunity to provide the prosecutor with information, and the information could not be used against HH.

A proffer is technically a written agreement. It is an agreement between a Prosecutor and a Defendant, or witness, in which information about a crime is exchanged for the promise that their information and words will not be used against them in a later Court Hearing.

After entering into a Proffer (the Agreement) a meeting with the Prosecutor and often the investigator is conducted. This is an exploration of what the Defendant or witness can provide the Prosecutor and investigator about their investigation.

If the Prosecutor believes the statements and information truthful and helpful, then the Prosecutor often will enter into an immunity or plea agreement.

This information and statements are what is protected under the Proffer and typically cannot be used at a trial or hearing against the Defendant or witness.

Actually, once LS entered NGRI, it became necessary to play all of the recorded content because it goes to the period of time that LS claims to be insane. It follows that the defense has not once opposed playing the repetitive audio conversations -- they know it's necessary.

Agreed. They’re also making sure Letecia can’t open an appeal in the future by arguing that they didn’t include a call she believes would have altered the outcome of the trial.

Prosecution are doing a phenomenal job. They’re saying “this is everything that happened. This is what we have. Hours and hours of her selfish, calculating stories”.

I cannont understand why he was with her at all, let alone for that long.

MOO

It gives me hope that maybe my somewhat sane self still has a chance to find a husband lol

AS is desperate for answers and LS is complaining she didn't get a Valentine's Day gift!

Al and Letecia are heard arguing [on 2/15/20] about Gannon’s mom, Landen, being at the Stauch home after Gannon’s disappearance. Al is frustrated because he said Letecia and her daughter Harley Hunt packed their bags and left the Stauch home, saying, "You guys left. You bounced."

Of the hundreds upon hundreds of trials I have watched.
Of the thousands upon thousands of cases I have researched and followed.

I have NEVER hated someone this much.

I've always been anti DP however this trial right here, man. I would flick that switch myself and smile whilst doing so.

(I'm generally a lurker but I had to get this out)

I've never seen this bottomless pit of evil this much up close. It's disgusting, imo. Also very transparent. moo

 

[Rosiebones]

I don't think I hate her, on the other hand I have a cold, complete lack of compassion for her, a total lack of caring about what happens to her. Is that a definition of hate?

Yes, and that right there proves to you what is most important to this defendant....the DEFENDANDT! She doesn't care that she's killed an innocent boy that his family and people are desperately looking for. She seems to enjoy telling her half truths and outrageous lies.

She is too busy playing a cat and mouse game with LE and Al. She's evil and wicked, violent and dangerous, but she is not insane.

I think she'll be found sane, and I think the jury will be back with a verdict on the first day, maybe even after a few hours.

MOO

 

[PawneeDew]

I agree she is evil - totally with you there. The candle incident and murders proved that. I think that the physical coverups prove deliberated decision and action. No question in my mind on Guilty.

But why does she keep changing the stories: Edguardo -> Quincy -> Uncle Matt -> Quincy? Why are the stories so bizarre? Anyone else would've given up already. It's really just this part that I'm wondering about. Is it guilt causing haunting dreams as was suggested? Is she confusing them? It's just so freaking weird. No one believes her and yet she keeps on. It is no more torture for the family than silence would be.

Why?

Maybe someone spoiled her as a child, and it left her with an entitlement 'tude...idk. Apparently Nobody likes to hear her 'tirades'. Maybe she thought she was entitled to the supposed 'American Dream' who knows?

 

[Niner]

Boy - took me about 2 or so hours to read (at least 500 plus posts!) what happened after lunch yesterday! And I want to THANK everyone who posted! I picked out a few posts which I will type on my sheet for the case.

Glad I do not have to listen to her voice, as most of you have described it!!

 

[Yellow Rose]

She reminds me of Cousin It with all the hair crap going on. Just ugh. I can’t even begin to imagine what that sweet sweet boy had to deal with when his dad wasn’t around. It’s probably WHY Harley loved him like a blood sister.

 

[PawneeDew]

Why couldn't 4/20 be today?!

4-20 twice a day...4:20 am and 4:20 pm.

 

[perception≠reality]

it sounded like Al accidentally said “t-tales” instead of details earlier. And boy, that was the best Freudian slip I have ever heard. That’s exactly what it is. T-tales.

Speaking of Freudian slips, did you catch when Al was questioning her about the board, he asked her why she was up in the Perry Park/Palmer Lake area - LS was discussing how she didn’t try to hide that she was up there and got lost.

She said “I told them I was up there!! Me!!! I told them!!! ***INNOCENT*** people don’t tell you where they were!! They just don’t!!!”

Oopsies, LS. You meant to say guilty people don’t tell you where they were. Oops.

She’s confessed so many times by mistake, to so many little pieces of the truth.

 

[Love Never Fails]

They are lawyers, not miracle workers. There is only so much you can say to a person with tissue in their ears and a never ending enchantment with their projected self. jmo

The lawyers don’t care, as they want the jury to believe she’s crazy anyway.
But wait…when the jury finds her guilty and the judge sentences her, I believe he will dress her down appropriately in a way she will never forget.

 

[kittythehare]

I think they are running the risk, however slight, that the jury will think she's crazy.

IMO.

that is the problem.

 

[Marie Bell]

that is the problem.

If that jury determines that she was, at the time of the murder, incapable of recognising the act was illegal and/or wrong, or that she was suffering a temporary condition which made her incapable of *not* committing the act despite knowing it to be illegal and wrong (because that's the criteria), I will eat not only own hat but every hat in the world.

Al tried for 5 years to legally adopt HH

I've never read that anywhere. I'm very surprised. She was 12 when AS & LS married and her bio dad had just recently died. Personally that would not be a great time to suggest adoption IMO. Creating a blended family without introducing adoption would be the priority I'd think. Plus it sounds like when they first married HH may have seen her dad's family as the Stauches lived in SC. There are likely lots and lots of Hunt relatives close by in southeastern NC/Robeson Co.

I'm not sure I buy the story. I especially am not too sure I think he'd push for 5 years to adopt his wife's teenage daughter. (Esp if the marriage was in trouble as some claim.)

Do you have a link for the adoption story? TIA.
JMO

 

[heartandsoul]

Yeah, the problem with that is that they would have to decide she was legally insane at that precise moment, but clearly not during any of the cover up/calls/prior behaviour. The calls show her to be able to tell right from wrong, able to manipulate and coerce and stay consistent throughout.

Yelling and spinning lies to the point of confusion doesn’t make her insane. It barely makes her mentally ill. IMO.

No I don’t, sorry. It was something Al said during one of the many recorded calls. It was said during the latter half of yesterdays testimony though if that helps.
