Bet the problem is that he needs a DP qualified attorney.

most probably lawyer gave up or something because case against him is strong keeping in mind the evidences

Hope not. It's possible though. Headline news case.

Could be. I hope not. I don't want this trial to turn into a circus. Abston/Henderson or whatever his name is might relish all the attention. <modsnip - diagnosis without qualification> In the best of all possible worlds we would never hear another word from him. JMO.

Makes sense.

agree with you, was just coming to say that. Don't know who the public defender lady is that is currently representing him but now that this is a DP case he will need a DP qualified attorney moving forward.

I'm sorry if this is dumb but what/who is a DP attorney?

From the link:

Abston, who is accused of taking the keen jogger, drove with her in his GMC terrain for an hour and a half before the vehicle was spotted turning into the road where her body was discovered.

The area where the body was found is just a hundred yards from the Longview Gardens apartment complex - where Abston's brother, Mario, lives.

I saw that. Possibly the initial attack and her fighting back caused him to respond more forcefully and she died in the first 4 minutes. IMO, that would be better than being taken alive to the next location. I think he intended
to kill her, but maybe not right at first.

DP = death penalty

Prosecutors have not announced that they are seeking the death penalty (yet).

That possibly explains the multiple search sites Saturday and Sunday across the city, I suppose.

@King_Reports
The record will now reflect that #CleothaAbston will be referred to as Cleotha Henderson. At this time, his bond has been revoked, pending a bond hearing. There was no arraignment today, pushed back. Next court appearance is tomorrow at 9a.m.

I’m now sure of which house this is. It must be 1666 Victor St. That is the only house that matches the one shown.

Waiting.. I’m hoping the arraignment is delayed as he may be ready to plea guilty.

I think it is too early for that.

DP = death penalty

okay okay got it
thanks

I wonder if he just doesn't like the idea of being represented by a woman.

 

[Thinker Belle]

So was this the last footage of her before she was attacked? Was this image picked up by the U of M? I know there is video of the moment he attacked her that won’t be released but this is so sad to think that this picture was probably just moments before he attacked her

 

[bestill]

When will they release the COD?

 

[SteveP]

Does this mean he may have a high powered defense team coming on board to do it pro bono?

UGH

With just what we already know, alone, I cannot imagine any high-powered defense team would want to be anywhere near the courthouse when this finally goes to trial. I know, and agree, that every defendant in a criminal case is entitled to, and should be provided, a vigorous defense, but I doubt too many top-notch attorneys are going to be lining up to offer to be the one to provide it for him in this case.
