This isn't surprising. I'm very glad for Tara's loved ones to finally see justice served.

Thank goodness this trial wasn't held in CA for it would have taken many months to complete.

This was pretty much a no brainer case, imo, so that is why the verdict of guilty came back quickly.

Imo

Since this #TaraGrinstead trial is not the actual murder case I fail to see why it's necessary to put Tara's family through the agony of hearing from the forensic anthropologist who collected remains

It's ridiculous that the family of #TaraGrinstead had to see this in this trial. Absolutely unnecessary to prove this level of detail. This isn't the murder trial and nobody is disputing that a murder occurred. For that matter this testimony may not be needed for the murder trial

Bo Dukes #TaraGrinstead trial - it seems there was at least some immunity deal

Bo Dukes/Tara Grinstead trial | DA asked if deal was made for reduced charges, immunity

Mar 20, 2019

"Bo Dukes, the man accused of burning and hiding beauty queen Tara Grinstead's body in 2005, is on trial. Tifton DA Paul Bowden was asked if he or DA Brad Rigby made any deals to lessen charges or give Dukes immunity for showing investigators the pecan orchard"

I’m watching #BoDukes look directly at the stepmother of #TaraGrinstead as she gives her victim impact statement. This is the most emotional look I’ve seen from #BoDukes the entire trial. .@LawCrimeNetwork
