The mother should have been charged too. Absurdly neglectful, dysfunctional parents, the both of them.

So a school adminstrator is testifying now that the school sent emails, made phone calls, and sent certified letters in relation to school absences to both parents and no response. Wow.

Edited to add - Sounds like when he finally made himself available to the school there were several meetings/contact between the school and the defendant to discuss setting Colt up for success.

People go to jail for their children’s truancy! Yet Colt missed a full year of school and he didn’t even have to “repeat” the grade.

The school seems ON TOP OF IT though. It's nice to hear how persistent the school was in trying to help Colt. I didn't know they allowed him to pass the grade with so many absences. I edited my post by the way to be fair to the defendant - it sounds like he did meet with the school several times and he asked them to address the sporadic instances of bullying, which the school did.

The evidence is coming in piecemeal and so far we haven't seen anything that rises to the level of these charges. The opening statement was really good and I guess I expected that by this point of the trial the state would've made a lot of inroads into the defendant's culpability. He seemed so cooperative in that bodyworn camera of the first visit with LE asking about threats made by Colt on Discord. Almost TOO cooperative. Typical of abusers. They often tend to be obsequious to authority figures. He was giving too much information without even being asked. It seemed like a subtle misdirection of the main issue.

Defense keeps bringing up the dark web. Not sure what this has to do with the case.

They're done for the day.
