MI - Bianca Jones, 2, Detroit, 2 Dec 2011 - #4 - *D. Lane guilty*

[laniefi]

And she was TWO years old... :banghead::banghead:

Can you IMAGINE the fear she experienced when she looked into her OWN father's eyes!!!

Disgusting!

 

[lauriej]

And she was only a few days after her 2nd birthday. We heard something about this very early on. I forget the source, but remember reading an adult in the home the night prior to the alleged carjacking stated DL was 'disciplining' his child to the extent another adult had to ask him to stop.


I think D'Andre is going to be eating his words soon.

“I don’t understand why anybody would want to do anything like this,” Lane said, complaining about speculation that he was involved. “It’s one thing to have evidence, it’s another thing to have circumstantial evidence. If it’s not pertaining to my daughter coming home, it’s of no consequence to me.”

--there was this , about the 'anonymous neighbour'..

"An anonymous neighbor of Lane's said that Lane had "spanked" Bianca so severely s/he asked him to stop".

Thanks.... Do you recall if there was another source other than the examiner? I think there should be. Not discrediting the examiner, I've just noticed most of their 'exclusives' are on MP cases that don't draw the amount of media this case has. I'm asking only to be reassured there was more than one media outlet reporting this info regarding the 'anonymous neighbor'. I think we've all learned to be a little leery of information only reported by a single media outlet as it seems to be an error factor.

:sigh:

I'm hung up on the choice of the word "consequence" in the previously posted direct quote from DL. Unless it pertains to my daughter coming home, it is of no consequence to me. Why not say it is of no interest to me? I think this statement of DL's says a lot in light of recent news.

Additionally,
In fact, police sources say cadaver dogs “hit” on Bianca’s car safety seat, an indication that she was deceased, her body placed in the car seat and taken elsewhere to be disposed of. A police source says he believes her body may never be found.

Banika Jones says she’s heartbroken that the murder charge may mean people will stop looking for Bianca or her remains.

I'm afraid to let my mind go into what might be meant by the police source saying he believes her body may never be found.

I know we won't stop looking....

The father of Bianca Jones, a missing 2-year-old girl, was arraigned today in Detroit's 36th District Court on charges of child abuse and murder.

D'Andre Lane was arraigned on charges of felony murder, first degree child abuse and being a habitual fourth offender in connection with the disappearance of his daughter in December.

Lane's bond was set at $3 million cash or surety, and he is due back in court April 17

Dad of missing 2-year-old jailed on murder charges

Assistant Wayne County Prosecutor Carin Goldfarb said there was "considerable evidence and statements from Mr. Lane himself," which implicate him in the alleged murder. Lane's statements to police connect him in the case, she said.

Lane's attorney Terry L. Johnson asked that his client be isolated from other prisoners in jail.

"I'm concerned about his safety," Johnson said. "You know what happened a few weeks ago to a person who was accused of shooting a 9-month-old boy."

A person of interest in the shooting death of 9-month-old Delric Miller was allegedly attacked while in Wayne County jail earlier this month.

--i guess all of d'andre's talk about using his home made paddle on his kids was "just a parent being a parent" ---and once they found bianca that she would have bruises on her legs from his "being a parent" w/ her the night before didn't go over too well w/ the prosecution.

 

[Cubby]

I'll bet my last ten dollars Mr. Johnsons request to have D'Andre isolated from other prisoners is because his client will likely further implicate himself by talking to other inmates- and he knows it.

I'm not buying D'Andre will be attacked in a county jail.

--i don't usually quote the 'examiner' but that was all i've been able to find on the 'anonymous neighbour'...

--we also have bianca's cousin, who told LE she witnessed d'andre beat her that night.

http://www.myfoxdetroit.com/dpp/new...e-where-bianca-jones-father-stays-20111205-ms

Sources tell us a child who was in the home Thursday evening, the day before all of this happened, told police that she saw Lane beating Bianca and the two-year-old may have been unresponsive following the incident.
Lane has admitted to police that he did discipline the child..

--i LOVE it that it's d'andre's OWN stmts regarding his discipline of the kids that prosecutors are using against him....

Thank you. This is what I was looking for, basically at least one witness who saw DL beating his daughter reported by more than one media outlet. I'm pretty certain this child witness is the same child who was made to buckle up a deceased Bianca in her car seat the following morning.

I hope 15 yr old cousin has come forward with any inaccuracies he may have initially give LE, or I see possible accesory after the fact charges.

I'm liking how I am seeing this unfold for the prosecution. ...And we know they aren't showing us their full hand.

I feel sorry for that 15 yr old. He is living in a totally dysfunctional family and being put right in the middle of a crime scene, and being forced to cover for his abusive uncle. Not being a 'snitch' is being drilled into him from all of his family, and yet he probably felt sorrow and compassion for his little cousin. I hope he can do the right thing by her finally. :rose:

 

[cluciano63]

Three months is actually a very short time for charges to come in a case where the victim's body has not been found...I have been a bit surprised by some of the comments indicating that it seems to have taken forever. I am very impressed that LE was able to feel confident about their case in what really is a matter of 12 weeks or so. JMO

D'Andre Lane, Jr. speaks. He has not discussed the case with Dad. More from him re: discipline from Dad coming up at 5:00.

DL's attorneys already arguing that "there is no evidence that Bianca is dead", but Magistrate sets bond at $3million- cash - because the "infant" is likely dead.

Judge: Disturbing Evidence In Bianca Jones Murder Case

March 15, 2012 3:58 PM

DETROIT (WWJ) – A judge has set bond at $3 million for D’Andre Lane, saying he’s disturbed by evidence submitted that indicates cadaver dogs detected signs of a dead body at the man’s home.

The 32-year-old Detroit father accused in the abduction and death of his 2-year-old daughter was arraigned Thursday on murder and child abuse charges. Lane pleaded not guilty in connection with the disappearance of Bianca Jones, whose body has not been found...

JMO. Any kind of discipline is excessive if the child is a two-year-old who wet the bed. Many of them are simply not mature enough to consistently stay dry all night.

DL's son says they haven't discussed DL's claim that he was carjacked and Bianca was taken.

Just a normal day in the life of... no need to talk about it
:waitasec:

I probably wouldn't be able to talk about anything else if my daughter/sister was kidnapped.

 

[IHAVENOCLUE]

O/T...but just got back on my desk computer from my iPad. Using the thank button with my iPad is like "hit or miss", so, instead, I would just like to tell you all how much I appreciate the information, links, maps, etc that you are providing us (me) on this post! You are all so dedicated to see justice is served for this poor child, Bianca!:justice::tyou:

BBM This seeming lack of need to discuss very important, life changing events seems to be a running theme in the cases we follow. (ala AYla Reynolds and the D family silence on various issues.)

Thank goodness Bianca hasn't been forgotten. I was getting so worried with the lack of movement.

BBM. So true. Even when a toddler is day time potty trained it's often months before they are out of night time or over night's diapers.

Johnson isn't getting a Baez style defense from me so just staying silent on the rest for now......
