Cory Bigsby denied bond at child neglect hearing (wtkr.com)

What is this reference to "past violent complaints" about?

[...]

"I don't believe [Cory] lied, I believe when the question of whether or not he had a conviction came up, he wasn't thinking of military convictions," said Ambrose.

The judge was concerned about past violent complaints and said the AWOL military conviction was also concerning.

[...]

In the meantime, Ambrose says he's expecting over 72 hours of interview footage coming from the Hampton Police Department, all of which were taken during the first week of Codi's disappearance.

Bigsby's preliminary court hearing is scheduled for April 5.

Interesting. Is this Codi's mother or has Cory had another wife?

[...]

Immediately following the bond hearing on Tuesday, Ambrose said he filed an appeal. He is hoping for a second bond hearing.

Bigsby’s estranged wife took the stand, advocating for him to get released on bond. Many of his family members also attended the hearing but did not want to comment on the case.

Cory’s estranged wife was in the courtroom Tuesday as a witness. The defense attorney, Jeffrey Ambrose, called her to the stand. She testified that she would help Cory with any court requirements if he was granted bond.

The couple has multiple children and she lives in the Hampton Roads area, Ambrose said. Her children are not the ones in the home when the alleged child neglect incidents took place.

How many children does this guy have? Multiple children with this estranged wife plus the 4 he had custody of?

Sorry, thought that was clearer but apparently it was a clear as mud! lol

The woman being kissed on the left. It was what I was seeing on the YT link that samsmom posted (unsure if it was in the actual vid). Is that Codi's mother?

Answering my own question. It appears its his sister. It's at the 20:21 mark which I "copied at the current time":

ETA - ...which apparently doesn't work when I paste it here, it only works when I paste in a new window, so you'll have to manually have to go to the 20:21 mark.

WOW I'm not sure. It sounds like there is more than one, but news outlets that mention it only mention the one incident in 2018.

Father of Codi Bigsby denied bond on child neglect charges - The Virginian-Pilot

• Commonwealth Atty, Bell, said Cory is the number one suspect for a probable homicide and that Codi is probably dead "even as we speak."
• Bell said that letting Cory out of jail would allow him to obstruct LE from finding Codi's body.
• Bell said that Cory was charged twice with assaulting family members - Codi's mother in 2018 and a separate case in Norfolk.
• The estranged wife who testified today is the mother of Cory's four older children who are not related to Codi or the other children involved in the neglect case.
• On the stand, she clarified that she was not Codi's mother or the woman who filed the complaint in 2018.

I'm counting 8. MOO

I can think of several reasons an estranged wife, mother of some of his children might not want Codi's dad in jail. Family pressure, financial concerns, fear of retribution from others if she refused to support his request for bond, or fear what her previously violent estranged husband might do to her if he gets out without her help are just a few posibilities. MOO

The only Norfolk cases I saw on their website for CB (dad) were all traffic violations.

BBM what? Wouldn’t Cory’s other children be his younger children’s half siblings? Am I reading that wrong?

They have 72 Hours of interview footage???? wow....So for at least 3 solid days he was sitting in an interview cubicle being interrogated?

I wonder why he kept talking with them for so long? Did they pretend like he was helping them find his boy? Or were they being asccusatory?

Yes, they would be half-siblings. My apologies for bad wording. Try this:

• The estranged wife who testified today is the mother of Cory's four older children. The four older children are not related to the events cited in the neglect case involving Codi and the three other children in Cory's home.

The only Norfolk cases I saw on their website for CB (dad) were all traffic violations.

That's all I saw too. But if the charges were dropped, I think that would make sense. ?

I started a Media Thread for Codi since it looks like a second thread is inevitable.

It says that the 72 hours of footage was taken during the week that he was at the station. It didn't happenover the time of 3 days for 72 hours straight.
I've watched a lot of interrogation videos. They leave the camera running even when the person being interviewed is alone in the room. MOO

These cops aren't stupid. They want the person responsible for what is most likely a murder to be convicted and go to prison. The narritive about Cody being mistreated is just for distraction. MOO

SMH… the dynamics in this situation…it’s hard for me to keep up.

Estranged wife? Not ex-wife?
So they aren’t divorced?
