It sort of looks as if there's about to be a punch-up in the public gallery

 

[Izzylizzy]

No, they posted on Facebook that they are not permitted to stream.

Thanks!

 

[Izzylizzy]

that is not correct. UpNorthLive tried to stream Kim and Rich's but the judge ended the court stream and wouldn't allow reporters to film.

We did get to see them before the camera's were cut off.

I'm anxiously awaiting updates from the arraignment today.

Tapping my foot...
Where are the updates??
If I had a quarter for every time I've refreshed the website today...
IMO.

ETA: Thank you @forgetmenot - it's worse than I thought. Torture???

 

[steeltowngirl]

Omg. So they assaulted a pregnant individual. Becca didn't give birth prior to the assault. I was holding out hope for the baby. He's gone too.

Cortney's own daughter.
Monsters.

I wonder why CB got "premeditated homicide" and "homicide felony murder" while BB got "homicide". Then they both had essentially the same other charges.

Sounds like LE has evidence she planned it and she was the active participant.

And both got once count of Torture. This is horrific

Wait wait wait...so they intentionally wanted to kill the baby? Or is this just oddly worded?

 

[MrsWatson]

Oh sheesh, just what it out so far is horrible.

 

[forgetmenot]

Hoping and praying LE finds baby boy’s remains so that he can be laid to rest with his mother Rebecca.
Were left to ponder WHY.

I wonder if this is all over the $2000 inheritance.

I don't think that was even legit. JMO MOO

I'm thinking that once he is found and autopsied, more charges will come.
Heartbroken and horrified.
This is much worse than I thought it would be.

Guessing because Cortney planned this and Brad simply did as told when told but probably wasn't part of the planning just dragged in in the moment and after. She straight up planned the murder of her own flesh and unborn grandchild. I knew it. From the beginning I and others following KNEW. This awful waste of skin premeditated that murder of her own child and grandson. It doesn't get much more subhuman than that IMO

“This is a case of premeditated torture and murder,” said Wexford County Prosecutor Johanna Carey while arguing for no bond at the arraignment. “These two individuals created a plan, conducted research. Mr. Bartholomew brought Rebecca to their home, forced her into another vehicle and took her into the woods where they stabbed her, forced her to lie on the ground while they cut her baby out, ultimately caused her death and the death of the baby."

This is waaay worse than I imagined

This is sick. They tortured her and imprisoned her? CB had the audacity to say Becca might still be alive if people hadn't interfered with the investigation! Sick! That quote will forever haunt me.

It kind of looks like there is
