It would indeed.I know. And that would be another tragedy in this saga IMO.

Do you think the prosecution is questioning why KA is not attending the hearing this week, or is that something that is pro forma for clients if their attorney requests it. Otherwise, if the defense is using a medical condition as part of their argument for KA to be released on bond (and a lowered bond), then is the prosecution perhaps wanting to see medical documentation that supports this?Looks like the hearing is now at 11:15 on the 20th. Also, the State is requesting KA’s medical records from St. Joseph’s Medical Center. I wonder if KA had complications from her plastic surgery and needed medical treatment.
There is a St. Joseph’s in Houston.

Those all sound feasible.Could she have had a mental evaluation arranged by her attorney and that’s what prosecutors want to see? Or maybe it was a follow up to get plastic surgery? Maybe she had stitches and they needed to be removed? Just thinking of reasons.
Can you point me to the source (or post) for the defense asking for bond in part due to a medical condition? I missed that.Do you think the prosecution is questioning why KA is not attending the hearing this week, or is that something that is pro forma for clients if their attorney requests it.

It could be possible, but don’t think she had hired an attorney yet if this happened in Houston.Could she have had a mental evaluation arranged by her attorney and that’s what prosecutors want to see?

Speculative, that's why I wrote "If . . ."Can you point me to the source (or post) for the defense asking for bond in part due to a medical condition? I missed that.
Thanks much!
I don’t think we know exactly when she hired him though do we? I think her family was probably working behind the scenes to find her representation in the event KA was captured. When did Cofer appear on the docket?It could be possible, but don’t think she had hired an attorney yet if this happened in Houston.
According to this, 7/5/22, appearance of counselI don’t think we know exactly when she hired him though do we? I think her family was probably working behind the scenes to find her representation in the event KA was captured. When did Cofer appear on the docket?
I wonder if we will learn why she received medical attention?
It would be great if it was for a surgery follow up - to prove to the judge she had surgery since it might be difficult for the US to get her CR surgery records.
I hope a camera crew will be in the courtroom!Perp in the court alert!
Ditto.I hope a camera crew will be in the courtroom!
Health information is typically excluded from Open Records Acts and/or our eyes. In this case, I'm sure the prosecutor has reason to believe they are relevant for this investigation-- such as KA was treated at St Joseph's Medical Center while in custody.

But doesn’t a patient have some rights to keep their medical records private? I’m not saying the defense will be successful in keeping her medical records private, but won’t her attorneys try to stop it? Can they?Here’s a link to Texas Open Records Policy…

Or maybe if they can indeed prove plastic surgery by statements made to her medical provider then that can support an argument for a higher bond. So not only did she flee the jurisdiction but she took steps to permanently change her appearance. That’s what I would be arguing - and I would love to use her statements against her.Could she have had a mental evaluation arranged by her attorney and that’s what prosecutors want to see?

She prolly lied to the doctor too.Or maybe if they can indeed prove plastic surgery by statements made to her medical provider then that can support an argument for a higher bond.
