This case, more than any other, makes me believe that defendants should be forced to take the stand to face their accusers.

RIP sweet Teghan. Justice is coming.

(partial O/T)

I am encouraged by a sentence in a totally unrelated trial held in Hillsboro, NC (Orange County) where a ~man~ was given 3 sentences for rape (two women, three incidents -- he went back to one woman's residence and raped her again, grrrr). Anyway, the Judge told the convicted rapist that he was structuring the sentences (the judge's discretion in NC) so that the man would never get out of jail. This happened yesterday. Total time 138 years. Hooray for Judge Allen Baddour!! (He was also the judge in the Eve Carson murder case.)

This is just to say that NC judges -- as do many judges in many states -- do have discretion in structuring sentences as to "concurrent" or "consecutive." That may come into play here, regardless of whether the DP is handed down or not. Let's think positively folks for justice for little Teghan and those who really & truly loved her.

:clap: :cheers: :clap: Judge Baddour.

We need WAY more Judges like this, maybe THAT could be a deterrent for some of these animals....

I don't know if I will be able to attend trial this afternoon. I dont' have anyone to cover my clinic for me. If anything changes I will tweet.


Justice for Teghan

Landonsmom, if you go you better bring some cuffs and clamp yourself to your seat....if you don't I think you are going to want to jump over the rail and tear JR apart.
Just reading these tweets is making my blood boil :steamed:

Gawd help me, I want him to go to prison and just be torn apart by the other inmates. Jail violence horrifies me often, I hate the idea of people being ganged up on in ANY situation. Not with this one, let them have at him.

Below is a section from the NC General Statutes dealing with child abuse. IANAL, but it looks to me like he is guilty of a B2 Felony -- see under (a3). which is bad news for him.

§ 14-318.4. Child abuse a felony.
(a) A parent or any other person providing care to or supervision of a child less than 16 years of age who intentionally inflicts any serious physical injury upon or to the child or who intentionally commits an assault upon the child which results in any serious physical injury to the child is guilty of a Class D felony, except as otherwise provided in subsection (a3) of this section.
(a1) Any parent of a child less than 16 years of age, or any other person providing care to or supervision of the child, who commits, permits, or encourages any act of prostitution with or by the child is guilty of child abuse and shall be punished as a Class D felon.
(a2) Any parent or legal guardian of a child less than 16 years of age who commits or allows the commission of any sexual act upon the child is guilty of a Class D felony.
(a3) A parent or any other person providing care to or supervision of a child less than 16 years of age who intentionally inflicts any serious bodily injury to the child or who intentionally commits an assault upon the child which results in any serious bodily injury to the child, or which results in permanent or protracted loss or impairment of any mental or emotional function of the child, is guilty of a Class B2 felony.
(a4) A parent or any other person providing care to or supervision of a child less than 16 years of age whose willful act or grossly negligent omission in the care of the child shows a reckless disregard for human life is guilty of a Class E felony if the act or omission results in serious bodily injury to the child.
(a5) A parent or any other person providing care to or supervision of a child less than 16 years of age whose willful act or grossly negligent omission in the care of the child shows a reckless disregard for human life is guilty of a Class G felony if the act or omission results in serious physical injury to the child.
(a6) For purposes of this section, a "grossly negligent omission" in providing care to or supervision of a child includes the failure to report a child as missing to law enforcement as provided in G.S. 14-318.5(b).
(b) The felony of child abuse is an offense additional to other civil and criminal provisions and is not intended to repeal or preclude any other sanctions or remedies.
(c) Abandonment of an infant less than seven days of age pursuant to G.S. 14-322.3 may be treated as a mitigating factor in sentencing for a conviction under this section involving that infant.
(d) The following definitions apply in this section:
(1) Serious bodily injury. - Bodily injury that creates a substantial risk of death or that causes serious permanent disfigurement, coma, a permanent or protracted condition that causes extreme pain, or permanent or protracted loss or impairment of the function of any bodily member or organ, or that results in prolonged hospitalization.
(2) Serious physical injury. - Physical injury that causes great pain and suffering. The term includes serious mental injury. (1979, c. 897, s. 1; 1979, 2nd Sess., c. 1316, s. 18; 1981, c. 63, s. 1; c. 179, s. 14; 1983, c. 653, s. 1; c. 916, § 1; 1985, c. 509, s. 5; c. 668; 1993, c. 539, s. 1233; 1994, Ex. Sess., c. 24, s. 14(c); 1999-451, s. 1; 2001-291, s. 5; 2008-191, s. 2; 2013-35, s. 1; 2013-52, s. 3.)


http://www.ncleg.net/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/HTML/BySection/Chapter_14/GS_14-318.4.html


-------------------------------------------------


A B2 Felony is a very serious charge which is worth 157‑196 months (13 to 16.3 years) for someone w/no prior felony points in the Aggravated range. IF he's charged with this, that is, it's just one more punishment to pile on his sentence. Perhaps he will have to do this time after the DP is carried out -- not before.

Good luck. I tweeted and emailed HLN, CNN, Nancy Grace and in desperation even wrote to JVM. Here is the message I got back from HLN........

"We are so glad you like to watch our trial coverage.

We have great news! HLN’s newest program, HLN News Now: On the Case. Currently it airs on HLN weekdays from 1-3pm ET and will be focusing on various trial news around the country, with Vinnie Politan taking the lead! He will have special guests and take on many topics.

If you have a trial question for Vinnie you can submit them on the Facebook page for it: https://www.facebook.com/HLNOnTheCase

We hope you have a great day and thank you for watching HLN.

Groan.....I doubt they even read what we write in our emails and tweets.

It doesn't need to be live streamed, but it DOES need attention.
Maybe THIS little girls story can make a difference, for once.

(Not talking to you gxm, just to the world in general...*sigh*).

A detective stated earlier that maw maw (grandma) stated at ER she hadn't seen Teghan in 3 weeks. But when she testified she said she had seen the girl while the mom was still there? And found out 1 week after that mom had left. So maw maw lied to police at ER. Why is she not charged????

Just a guess, Landonsmom -- Maybe they either didn't know the extent of what she had done or not done; or maybe they didn't have probable cause to get an arrest warrant. They should now have both. We'll see...

I don't understand why this little child was not checked on by the people who owned the property. I believe the couple are the grandparents of the alleged assailant (pardon the expression). If someone has a child on MY property, you can bet I am going to be checking on that child, especially if its common knowledge that my grandson who is babysitting is cuckoo. They cannot be without blame in this. We need to start watching out for all the children!
