GUILTY TX - James Faith, AA tech director, fatally shot walking his dog, Dallas, 9 Oct 2020 *ARRESTS/wife*

He’s close enough to duct tape her hands but she doesn’t recognize him? GMAB. You know that somewhere in those many, many text messages, they have shared pictures.

You are not kidding...over 500 messages a DAY following the murder.

 

[worm]

It’s going to be interesting to see if he talks. He is in Texas so I’m sure cap punishment has to be in the cards.

He will make his first court appearance once he’s extradited back to Dallas. If convicted of the firearm offense, Lopez faces up to 10 years in federal prison. He also faces up to life on the Dallas County murder charge, officials said.

^^sbm

I'd not read that he was extradited but his Vine link report indicates he's been transferred from Dickson County, TN jail but does not disclose where. Interesting. Wonder if he's suddenly a cooperating witness.

Agents also found a can of Red Bull and two DVDs they believe he bought at the Arkansas truck stop and “a flat-screen Samsung TV that had been shipped in a box addressed from Jennifer Faith to Lopez”.

Early Christmas present? I wonder if she bought her husband an anniversary gift?

Someone started a fundraiser for Jennifer the day following James’ murder which raised $60,623 but it’s no longer accepting donations. I wonder if anyone will be surprised by this revelation. I'd like to know if this fundraiser closed on or about 12 January when Lopez was arrested and news broke of the "emotional affair".

This is a very interesting revelation.

grunching....... but non-robbery targeted shooting for no obvious reason = romantic or money (drugs included) or both... and yes, so it now appears.

 

[worm]

I’m anxious for Lopez to start talking.

Well, that's an interesting development. Horrific plot if she knew all along, just get a divorce for goodness sake. Moo.

 

[meanmaryjean]

I KNEW IT!

 

[worm]

I guess she is charged for deleting the messages on purpose or misleading? The article ended with how many contacts and the emotional affair news.

 

[Marg from Oz]

I wonder if it will be upgraded to "Conspiracy to murder" at some time in the future. MOO

 

[legalmomma]

I think it was pretty obvious she was knowledgeable, if not involved.

Jennifer Faith Arrested For Obstruction Of Justice In Husband James Faith's Murder Month After Arrest Of Her Ex-Boyfriend Darrin Lopez

Feb 24, 2021

DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) – Dallas homicide detectives along with ATF, arrested Jennifer Faith, 48, on Wednesday, Feb. 24, on a federal charge for obstruction of justice, related to the murder investigation of her husband James Faith Jr.

She was booked into the Lew Sterrett Jail where she will be held until she is moved to a federal facility.

ETA:

I think this is a huge break in the case, and I think it tells us that the DA needs more time to complete the State's investigation and determine whether or not to criminally charge JF for murder, conspiracy, or obstruction, in the case of her murdered husband.

It's been clear from the beginning that JF deleted messages from the defendant after her husband was murdered.

Widow arrested after fatal shooting of her husband outside their north Oak Cliff home

Feb 24, 2021

Updated at 4:47 p.m.: Revised to include additional information from a Dallas Police Department blog post.

The widow of a north Oak Cliff man who was gunned down as the couple walked their dog last year has been arrested.

Jennifer Faith, 48, was booked into the Dallas County jail Wednesday afternoon, jail records show.

Police said in a blog post that she faced a federal charge of obstruction of justice and would remain in the jail until she was transferred to federal custody.

[..]

Toby Shook, a defense attorney for Jennifer Faith, said Wednesday that he couldn’t comment on the arrest, but he confirmed that the charging documents were sealed. He has told WFAA-TV (Channel 8) that his client is innocent and has fully cooperated with police.
________________

ETA:

As I stated in an earlier post above, I think reading that her federal arrest charges have been sealed confirms (to me) that the Dallas DA is still investigating Jennifer Faith, and state charges should be expected.

No winners. Sad for all the families and friends here. MOO

I feel so bad for JF's daughter. Geez.
