I’m just seeing him testify for the first time. Is it safe to say that he is a sociopath? He is a strange man.

How old is the daughter now? Is she currently living with her dad? Will she be taken into state care until relatives or a foster family is set up now that her dad has been arrested?

Wow, just wow! I've followed from the beginning and I did not see this coming (Zachs testimony) I thought he was ride or die in backing Mello.

Grateful Mello was finally arrested and hopefully he pays for his part in this if he is found guilty. This has been a crazy ride. I've been following the trial and reading all of your posts but haven't commented until today.

No matter, no one has the right to take a life unless in self defense. Imo this is not self defense.
