From the MSN article. MSN

Heuermann was not charged with Vergata’s murder on Wednesday, instead adding her to his allocution as the eighth victim. The DA stated Vergata’s murder is covered by his admission and guilty plea to the seven other murders.

“There will be no further prosecutions for these eight victims,” said Heuermann’s attorney Mike Brown.


Because Karen Vergata was lumped in with the others, it looks like he can't be prosecuted for anything else related to her. I wonder if he wanted her included because he knew there was a witness (Lorraine) who could pinpoint KV being at his home, and that the wife knew about it. I think he's trying to hush it up so the wife doesn't get implicated further. MOO

Also, what are these two smiling and laughing about! Disgusting conduct.

Yes, I was thinking about this earlier. This makes total sense to me. Lorraine signed an affidavit stating AH was there, met her and talked with her. That affidavit was disturbing to read.

Ah... back to the question:

Who sent her attorneys? Who paid for them? And who benefitted (aside from the attorneys themselves with their fat Peacock paycheck, earned by portraying Asa badly?)

Really: Who sent those attorneys?

MOO
Yes, that really should be made public. In a way, it’s incumbent on the governor of New York to make sure Suffolk County is being open and accountable for everything related to this case.

It’s not the typical white collar crime or DUI by a wealthy citizen that gets swept under the rug. This is serial killer who preyed on women in that community for at least 2 decades. Come on.

The finagling of the Karen Vergata murder case might also have been to avoid revealing the identity of the NYC detective who was allegedly there that night. Not that he was involved but maybe LE protecting each other. IDK, but it’s odd.

Yes. Now it may come up in a civil trial.

The attorney deal with Peacock/NBC is public. I posted a link previously.

I’m referring to info about who hired the attorneys for the killer’s family.
The full details of the plea negotiations and final deal.
The statements of all the other sex workers who were interviewed by investigators. We already have that information from the women John Ray interviewed.
Remember when JR reminded Suffolk County that they still hadn’t interviewed the women witnesses who contacted him about Rex H?

If I’m reading it correctly, it seems that NBC/Peacock paid the attorney fees in the form of a payment for participation in the documentary, from a total sum which was divided between parties, which meant the family didn’t have to pay outright. Who contacted who wouldn’t be in a FOIA request but the other things might be contained in such a document request.

I try to put myself in her shoes. Being shell shocked over the horrific allegations against someone you love, you don’t know who to trust and have no money and, perhaps, wherewithal to find someone to help you. One would probably accept help from the first to offer it. I think the same goes for the families of the murder victims. It might be helpful to have better attorneys but that’s, perhaps, not a choice they had.
Not sure why your so adamant on defending the family. The kids may be unaware but after being with my husband since '77 I can sure as heck tell you all the stuff he did that wasn't kosher. Ignorance is no excuse. Then still standing firmly in your beliefs after all the evidence points to him is just disgusting. I have no sympathy for one who has no empathy.

I will defend anyone who is accused of serious crimes based on unsubstantiated rumors and unproven statements. Yes, ignorance is an excuse. If they were away from home during his murders, didn’t see or sense anything wrong or interpreted things they did see in a positive light, then yes, they are excused. I have never defended Rex Heuermann, only his family and I don’t appreciate you suggesting otherwise. In fact, I consistently refer to him as a murderer or killer. I have no sympathy for anyone who harms innocent people, be it by murder or victim blaming and yes, his family are considered victims too.

I have reported you for your accusations against me and for going against the rules of the site in regard to the family.

I’m tired of having to repeat this but read this reminder to quote Websleuths policies in regard to the families, “Members may reasonably discuss what is said in MSM by them or about them, but do not make random accusations, insinuations, suggest their involvement, trash, bash or attack them, or speculate negatively about them.

Again, that wasn’t the question I asked.

NBC Peacock had not approached her for a documentary in the early days after Rex was arrested and Asa suddenly had 2 attorneys representing her. It’s too much to assume they knew from the start they would help her get a big contract with NBC.

We’ll see what happens as more attention is focused on these questions.

Tierney mentioned a vehicle pulled from Pennsylvania in connection to Sandra's case, and apparently evidence linked to Karen Vergata was found in there.

Did I hear that right


He did but he mispoke. During the question period (1:06:55) timestamp: , he corrects his statement and states that "it was a Ram Charger owned by him and it was Sandra Costilla" in response to a reporter's query.
