^^where’s a puddle of water when you need one...in reference to him being in a shock belt in court. ^^

He’s the one wearing a shock belt according to the article, not her.

You are indeed correct, my mistake! It will no longer let me edit that part of my post so reiterating here.

I wish I knew what her reaction was last time they were in court together and if they had any interaction this time. I know they sat at the same table. Maybe he was wearing a shock belt so he wouldn’t lunge and try to choke her? Lol
Is there any video of the actual hearing? The video I saw in the link was just them leaving the courtroom

Yeah, I know they are both guilty, but one is more than the other. And IMO, it isn’t him.

Well, the article this morning - The Daily Mail - says they both pled not guilty.

These are so hard for me . My SIL suffers from infidelity & these cases are like a kick in the gut. A baby is a blessing. If you don't want it, give someone else the gift of a child. So senseless!!!

Yes, or take it to a Safe Place Child Dropoff -- hospital, Fire Dept, Police Dept -- no questions asked. Lots easier than being on the run after baby's body is found; charged with murder; convicted; jailed for life. Anything but murder. How many couples would line up to have a chance to adopt a newborn baby?

The Twitter link posted says parents reported missing from home.

ETA: 5 hours? Babies eat every 2 to 4 hours. At least mine did.

Nope, not buying it, folks.

She's already another angel, along with so many we have loved without even meeting those little babies & young children. No more hurt or hunger or fear, no more mommy & daddy yelling.

(still catching up on this thread & not looking ahead.) This little one is already gone.

I have no idea. Most preemies are kept in the hospital for awhile, aren't they? She must not have been very remature./QUOTE]

In many hospitals, preemies are eligible to come home at 5 lbs if other parameters look positive.

My hospital wanted my DS to be 5 lbs before discharge; he had apnea so he was in there until 39+3 GA and he was over 6 lbs.

I found this article yesterday - it looks like the Judge granted a continuance.

https://www.covnews.com/news/crime/mcnabb-bell-case-continued/

Christopher Michael McNabb and Cortney Marie Bell, the parents accused of murder in the death of 15-day-old Caliyah C. McNabb, were scheduled to be in court Tuesday (4/10) for a motion/status hearing, but Alcovy Judicial Circuit Chief Judge John M. Ott told The Covington News a continuance had been granted...

Unfortunately this link won't open for me just now. I know I read the article and of course it did not give an actual date for the next hearing!!

If anyone finds one - please post!

Maybe someone will find a date!

 

[Niner]

Looking at Judge Ott's court schedule - haven't seen anything past 4/17/18 for Newton County. Wondering "when" they update that?! The other county is there for 4/27 schedules....

 

[Niner]

Update calendar to May 1st, but no Bell or McNabb....

:waiting:

 

[Niner]

Next calendar date for Judge Ott is May 15th - but no Bell or McNabb on it.....


:waiting:

Just checking in. Hoping for a speedy trial.

Just checking in after my holiday. Disappointed to say the least that there's no change yet.

[.....]
Alcovy Judicial Circuit District Attorney Layla Zon, Alcovy Judicial Circuit Public Defender Anthony Carter, representing McNabb, and Attorney Bryan H. Frost, representing Bell, all declared ready for trial after a failed Jackson Denno hearing by Carter on McNabb’s behalf.
[.....]
A Jackson Denno hearing is a hearing to determine if a statement made by a defendant will be admitted into the trial.

Alcovy Judicial Circuit Chief Judge John M. Ott said the case could be tentatively scheduled for August, pending courtroom availability.

and of course they don't give an actual "date".
