If she is using drugs while pregnant this time, then CPS is going to test the newborn and she will lose custody immediately.
Question for AZLawyer...St. John said that even though Jhessye's body wasn't found, police believe they have enough evidence to charge Hunter, and are "very near" the point of presenting the case to the County Attorney's Office.
St. John noted that similar cases have been successfully prosecuted in the county without police ever finding a body.

Also for AZLawyer. Has the issue of jerice being held longer than legally allowed been resolved? Is there any impact on the investigation, as Maasen claims?Maasen stressed this is very unusual and that he would like his client to be treated fairly, and wants everyone to follow the rules.
He says they have a number of options on how the violation could play in to the future of this investigation.

Question for AZLawyer...
Will a jury hear about jerice's California conviction for child abuse, or will that be considered prejudicial?
I know it is a pipe dream, but I would really like to see the sate of California charge Shirley with something in regards to returning Jhessye's siblings to Jerice in the first place. It is my strong belief that these two women were committing fraud with this maneuver in that I believe Shirley was receiving money for the care of these children and she unilaterally returned them to Jerice.
It is also my strong belief that the monies she was sending to Jerice to help support the kids, was none other than a portion of the funds the state of California was paying Shirley, as their foster parent.
I want that woman to face some consequence for returning those children to that monster.

If Jerice takes the stand (she shouldn't, in my humble opinion) then any prior convictions can be brought in, even if they don't resemble the charges being tried.
