BBM. Oh, that's not self serving, CW says Shan'ann had checked out of the marriage, and get this, NK was the aggressor who showed interest first. What's a guy to do when a gal shows interest. But he really regrets that NK got pulled in. Yeah cuz she helped put him in the slammer by calling the cops on him.
They are claiming they’ve never been heard in or out of court.
They have been, ham fistedly, and it is not working. Don't worry. IMO
He lied.
As I said, according to the statute you cited, they have a right to be heard as victims in court when the court accepts the plea. This has not happened yet.
They had 3 family members who got time with him the day before the plea hearing.
Is it not officially accepted until sentencing?[/QUOTE]
And he did not have to do that. It was CW's choice to tell them then, with his attorneys all present. He could have met with them privately if he so chose to do so. He did not.
And I really don't know why they are complaining. They come off as feeling entitled. They have had interviews and are going to get to make a statement at the hearing next week. As others are pointing out, the plea has not been accepted. They are allowed to provide a statement then and there. They seem to want something above and beyond what the law allows.
Because they bashed a murder victim.
In fact, I'm pretty sure it would be a violation of his rights if he were FORCED to talk to his mother more than he wants to do so. Why does anyone want to take away his right to talk to whom he wants to, when he wants to?
To conduit the victims family is normal protocol in most cases. That is much different than his parents thinking they have a right to be consulted by his defense team.
The more noise they make the more the general public realizes the son doesn't want anything to do with them.
I don't understand their bashing of a murdered victim in this case. And which version did they believe? When he told the police he didn't know where his family was? When he told the police they were at a play date? When he told the police he wasn't having an active affair? Or when they found the bodies, and he changed his story? Sounds like they are picking and choosing which version to believe. CW lies. The evidence shows he is guilty of all crimes. They can wait like the rest of us to hear it because CW does not want to discuss it with them. I think we should respect his rights not to talk to whom he doesn't want to when he wants to do so. Why do you want to trample his Constitutional rights to speak or not speak?
Meaning can they use their grandparents of the victims status to weigh in on a plea deal for the defendant? I mean hats off to their non-podcast attorney if they can manipulate that one. But that doesn't mean the prosecuting attorney or judge has to accept their input.
Again, CW's parents are NOT a party to this case. They have no right to be heard by the Court at any point until sentencing, when the plea is accepted, and that is as a victim. They have no rights to talk to their son if he does not want to talk to them. He has a constitutional right to talk to whom he pleases when it comes to his family. Let's respect his rights. IMO.
The vitriol dripping off Mother Watts' tongue when she spoke of Shanann on national tv made me ill. Her son murdered a helpless pregnant woman and she has the gall to badmouth her? Sickening.
Tone deaf, just like sonny boy.
