That story does not accurately reflect what would have occurred. Pierre Collin's own attorneys would have told him loud & clear of ALL of the evidence the government has against him, and it is A LOT.
IMO when Pierre Collins murdered his son as he did, PCollins TRULY thought he was going to get away with it and cash in on the $50K in life insurance proceeds. PCollins must have been having a heck of a good time NOT working & lying to his wife that he WAS working, and then he'd go out and hang with a few buddy ****s all day 'til he decided to go back home. I wonder WHO THE HECK PCollins would hang around with all day-every day when his wife thought he was 'at work' ???
So, once this is over, we, the public, will get access to the full autopsy report - that will include some duct-taping, we know, and 'blow/s to the innocent little child's head'.
Can people please email Beth McDonough (the reporter), and how about Mike Freeman (the head Hennepin County Attorney) and ask that we, the public, get to have a day where ALL of the evidence is spread out on tables to be filmed, so we can see it all? And, of course, we will all want to view ALL (each and every one) of the other evidence - we know there is Aldi & Cub grocery store videos, video of PCollins en route & perhaps right at the the Mississippi Park, and audio of PCollins' phone calls trying to buy 'more' insurance on the child 2 days prior to the horrific murder AND then either a 2nd call, or included in that same call, details of PCollins buying a new, 2nd $20K life ins. policy on the child (again, just 2 days prior to the slaughter/torture?), and his bank records, contents of his computers, all the gps data gotten from his cell phone, etc., etc.
I wonder, too, if his present wife had 'come around' and would testify the truth of all she knew at the trial, too (remember, we've been told, PCollins threatened to 'rape' the younger, 2-3 y old son - apparently that was one of his 'power ploys' to get his way with his wife).
And then there would be testimony of the prior Wisc. wife.
And Little Edwin's/Barway's bio' mom from Liberia would testify.
And all the police interviews!!! Of PCollins, present wife !! We want to view ALL of that !!
It's hard to wrap my own mind around how PCollins thought he was easily going to get away with all of this ---- but, think of it, in his small 'universe' (of which PCollins was King), he pushed his present wife around - lied to her, would threaten to rape their 2-3 y old to 'get his way', skip off whenever he wanted, had money in his pockets all the time WITHOUT having to hold down any job !, was out messing around with I am guessing a little select group of male Liberian cronies all day. I wish we knew who PCollins hung around with all day, what he did all day long when he was supposedly 'at work' (9,10,12,14 hrs???). I recall one report of a former 'croney' saying that some of the time PCollins would spend spying on his present wife, suspecting her of having an affair...
Well, one thing: It was a big shift for PCollins to take the guilty plea. Doing so gets him no 'better outcome' --- PCollins will now avoid having all those witnesses and evidence presented one by one, day by day, in court. I wish I could have been a fly on the wall when PCollins was talking with his 2 defense attorneys: WHAT IN THE WORLD would PCollins have suggested to them would make for a solid 'defense' of PCollins?????????? I can think of UTTERLY NOTHING EXCEPT -------------------------------------------
the PASTOR taking the stand to be (PCollins') 'character witness'----- I can see 'Pastor' bringing those deep wicker 'collection money' baskets along to the trial & taking up a collection out in the courtroom halls.... no joking actually... .:seeya:
