Per the court’s second order, we are waiting for a hearing to be scheduled and conducted at which time the arguments will be heard. The first order was vacated and currently I have not seen anything asking for the defense to file a response. Media will likely join in and argue against sealing.For our attorneys, could you briefly recap what it is we're waiting for with regard to the autopsies? Am I right that the full autopsy results have now been given to the prosecution and the defense, that the prosecution already requested for the results to be sealed until trial and we're waiting for the defense to either join that request or say that they see no need for the results to be sealed?
If I'm wrong could you explain what I got wrong. And if I'm on the right tracks, will we hear today if the defense does or does not agree with the sealing request? And what happens next if they do agree? Or what happens next if they don't agree?
Thanks in advance.
It could be very remarkable depending on a number of things. Were the girls in bed sleeping already or were they already dead?
What was he grilling? Food, evidence, letters, information, clothing?
getting shored up = bit on the side, lolI think he was out looking around on the side for getting a bit on the side IMO.

Do you know if the hearing has been scheduled yet?
I assume it will not be open to the public...?
Strangely, some people like the fact that a house has a history like that. Not me though, I’d be seeing ghosts everywhere. I think they should just level it and create a community garden on the property in Bella and CeCe’s names, but I’m sure the HOA won’t go for that at all.If it can get a buyer to ignore the horror that went on there. Doubtful to me.
That was in the court’s first order in response to the prosecution’s initial motion. At that time, the court was under the impression that there had not been any CORA requests. I believe now that it has become apparent that multiple entities/individuals are seeking access to the records, the procedure has changed to allow the parties/media to be heard at the hearing. First order was vacated so I do not believe the defense has been ordered to submit anything. No idea when the hearing will be held/scheduled and whether we will find out in advance or just after the fact.Thank you, I was completely wrong, then. And that's why I asked, in case I wasn't the only one getting confused with all these motions and procedures.
Wasn't there a two-day period for the defense to respond to something, and the two days is up today? Have I got that wrong, too?
IIRC the Court's Order said the hearing would be in camera.
The statutory language in CORA indicates a hearing should be held "at the earliest practical time". Defense received a copy on Monday, so hoping we hear something by today.

The burden is on the custodian (prosecution) to argue for sealing. My *guess* is that we won’t know until the order is issued after the hearing.So we won't find out which way the defense will argue? We'll just have to wait until after the in camera hearing for the official decision?
Yup. Hopefully they continue to do so. No one wants a viable appeal for “ineffective counsel.”
Once he’s behind bars, or better yet, on death row, I want him to be left with as little hope as possible.
Apologies if this has been posted or if this is not an approved site. It was too unreal not to share. I’m sure our verified attorneys will like to weigh in here.

The order doesn’t say in camera - is that in the statute?IIRC the Court's Order said the hearing would be in camera.

We do know how the relationship started and it's been reported repeatedly by many MSM sources.
A mutual contact sent her a Facebook prompt suggesting CW as a possible friend. She deleted it. Two months later she received a diagnosis — her brother said she had lupus — “and I went through one of the, I would say, darkest times of my life, because things just got scarier.”
She was living in NC at the time, quit her job of nine years, lost friends “because they didn’t understand that I looked perfectly fine, and I felt horribly inside,” and “was in a really, really, really bad place, and I got a friend request from Chris on Facebook,” she said. “I was like, oh what the heck, I’m never going to meet him,” she said. “Accept.”
“Well, one thing led to another, and eight years later we have two kids, we live in Colorado, and he’s the best thing that has ever happened to me,” she said.

Wasn't the Watts grill on their deck? Why would small children need to be on that deck as well? The children could have been on the other side of the door in the kitchen where CW could see them. JMO
It makes me so sick, and little Bella was the spitting image of him. How could he look at her and kill. Or tiny CeCe.
I really feel he will take a plea to avoid the death penalty. I really don't think this will ever go to trial. I pray for the families involved that this is what happens.
