I believe the court date is set for Oct 13th. Jury Selection I think is set for June 11th. I think what may be the key to this investigation is something that was said by the Lead Investigator. He said that he never considered that Erin might have been killed outside the bedroom. I think there are, in fact, several different scenarios that could account for Erin's death that do not include James, especially if we consider possibilities that involve accidents, the family medical history or errors in conclusions drawn from the autopsy. I suspect one of the reasons the defense is requesting the testing of the bottom bed sheet is to document whether or not James and Erin had sex that night. That certainly might change the minds of those who might think they had had an argument or some other confrontation that evening. We do know from testimony in the bond hearing that there are statements that say that Erin's parents were very angry that night that James had returned with Erin from Columbus, Ohio. I still have difficulty finding a motive that would encourage James to strangle Erin in front of their daughter. That would be hard. Additionally, Erin's parents testified that there were no threats or violence demonstrated that evening. In that regard, since the comments were made under oath, I take them at their word. I do think there is lot more to learn in this case but for now it would be wrong for me to flame the fire further. Nonetheless, I feel confident that there is evidence out there that is known but has not been released to the press. Although I do know principle parties in this case, I will nonetheless try hard to keep my postings as objective as possible. I want most of all for everyone to be treated fairly and justice to prevail.
