So glad you caught it! For so many years I used to do a Google search of the Rhoden Murders to see if there was any news. I stopped that about a year ago, so may have missed the news of a hearing today.

Speechless.

I worried that families wouldn't live long enough to see this day....I have watched them age so much over the last five years. Tears flowing!

I feel the same way. So happy for LM, GR's dad, HG's mom and, of course, CRSR and KR's mom!

Gary Rhoden's dad Kenneth, Sr. did pass away a couple of years ago, unfortunately.

Did anyone else hear what sounded like a child's voice coming from the gallery? Then Jake looked over that way several times and seemed to be searching where the sound came from. I don't know, maybe it was just my imagination that he thought it might be SW...

Does JW have any family in the courtroom?

 

[Fight4justice]

State agrees to dismiss if Jake agrees to testify truthfully against the other defendants.

Wow would have never guessed he would turn evidence! So glad this is over for the Rhoden and Gilley families. So now we can say they are guilty!

I guess the others know that he is doing this? Wonder how they feel about it.

Before proceedings began, before any attorney entered, I saw the camera pan to what would have been the W side of the gallery. I saw so many people, and what seemed to be a little girl's (child's ) legs, as if sitting on the floor. I did wonder too if it could be S.
Thought I saw HHG Mom. I knew then it was an important day, but had no idea of how important.. So many LE present too. and AC had a haircut.

Not sure, but it looks like there's a person sitting on that side. Camera isn't showing much.

No, but that gave me chills.

So sorry to hear that. I can still see how heartbroken he was in that interview. It's a shame he couldn't be here for this day.

Not sure if the other W4 knew in advance, but they sure will now.

Wonder how FW is feeling right about now!
