Lori is trying hard to discredit MG. She's feeding lies to attorney so potential jurors won't believe MG's testimony. At least that is what I'm guessing.

Sorry just my own 2cents but MG has done more than enough on her own to discredit herself. We’ve got the podcast episodes (which we presume has at least two of them possibly more) where you can just hear in her own voice the person she was, totally on-board and head over heels with Lori & Jason [who is hosting the series I’m referring to]. Then her 7 plus page later filled with bizarre talk, her interview with EIN, talks with other media, and her testimony at the preliminary thus far. She’s actually, like others, have said more than one thing that hasn’t jived with previous statements and recollection.

I saw a post that started to compare some statements side by side & I will look to dig it up and post back here, I think it’s interesting at least when you see things side by side like that. I already expected as have many that MG and anyone else will have blame thrown her way by both lawyers but Chad’s lawyer line of questioning at the preliminary made me think this x2. He was seemingly all ready to try and introduce any and all personal mental health issues she might have, and sure he’s doing what a defense attorney does for their client but the way he does it leaves a lot to be desired. Still real curious what a jury will think of him and/or if he will see an almost different persona of him at jury trial.

Since going to police MG has been very consistent, IMO. Her participation in the PAP podcasts and past involvement in Chad's cult has nothing to do with her being truthful on the stand and neither has her post-cult religious talk. She's still a Mormon. At the point when she realized that Chad and Lori were going to throw her under the bus and try to implicate her in their evil deeds she turned her back on them. Almost certainly she was thoroughly debriefed by the FBI well before she gave her first media interview. It appears that she trusts LE and I doubt she could keep secrets from them. I like her reaction to MM's tweets.

I really don't know how one could implicate MG in the murders unless significant pieces of information were missing. And even then, how could you go against the evidence such as the recorded call in which Lori and Chad were clearly trying to pull wool over MG's eyes when it came to JJ and even Tammy.

I honestly don't understand this whole thing with MG, what do we want her to do? To not talk? She talked and people get mad, and I'm 100% sure that people would still be mad if she didn't. I haven't been following this thread as much, so it might be because people know stuff that I don't, but I honestly don't understand this attitude torwards her. She didn't kill those kids, and she's cooperating, who cares if she's only doing it because she doesn't want to get into trouble, she's still doing the right thing. I'm sure other people close to Chad and Lori know a lot and are still quiet, and are still believing their word.
 
It's been a while so I apologize if this was discussed. Someone I know just served as a juror on a joined trial. They told me in the case, the defendants had to have the same verdict. So one could not be innocent and the other guilty. So Chad would not want to be tried with Lori if the case against her was very strong. The juror that told me this was in a different state so maybe the laws are different. Even if he escaped charges for crimes against Tylee and JJ, he still will have to answer for Tammy and possibly Charles. I don't think he will get out of any of it.
 
The primary rule is that a client is entitled to the attorney of their choosing. A corollary is that people should hire their own attorneys. The Courts often encounter requests, from attorneys, for a substitution of the attorney or for a change in the method of paying. They arise this way: the fee that the client and attorney agreed upon has either been expended before the completion of the case or the client cannot pay anything close to what the client promised. An attorney can request the court to either relieve him or her from further representation or ask that the public fund for indigent representation pay at the statutory indigent plan rate.
If judges, following an inquiry of the attorney and client during which the court cautions both not to reveal any confidence or strategy, determines that the client cannot pay anything more, can force the attorney to represent the client anyway according to their arrangement, relieve the attorney and tell client that, if in fact, no other attorney can be afforded, assign one from the approved indigent panel. Because giving an attorney to a client who did not select him or her can lead to appellate difficulties and purposeful delays by the attorney, the wisest course is to permit the attorney to be paid at the indigent rate and make him or her continue with the case until resolution by trial or plea.
I would just like to thank you kindly for your sage wisdom and to tell you I look forward to your posts in the future. You are able to bring a voice here that we do not usually have. Please stay close to this case and post often as your information is extremely valuable.
 
I think many of us have been predicting that Chad will attempt to distance himself from Lori. It has been interesting watching these 2 Attorney's and I anticipate future antics from both. Honestly, I think they need to weigh their "ineffective" counsel vs. doing everything in their power to assist their client because in my opinion they are in their attempts to do one negatively effecting the other.

He certainly does not want to make her mad. jmo
 
I just thought of the only thing that could make the situation WORSE. (Besides another death, I mean.) Suppose Chud decides to represent himself in court? Ugh. Mr Somewhat-Below-The-Means is a clown already. But what if Chud’s lawyer won’t allow a defense based on Chud’s studly prophetic superpowers? Chud probably dreams of relating his visions on the witness stand, and surely the jurors need to know their light/dark ratings! How else could this be achieved? It’s imperative!

CD’s narcissistic and manipulative overreach was fully functional during his teenage years, as we’ve learned from at least one former friend of his who is now a fellow Websleuth. I can totally see him thinking this could work.
 
While just trying to "find the page" again, I re-read some previous posts. Particularly about the kids' deaths and burials. While I certainly hadn't forgotten, I was shocked all over again by what was done to them. Maybe we've all become a bit dulled to it now, but a trial would/will bring it back to the whole world in all its horror.

I agree... its as if the primary focus is whether they will be tried together, and the fate of those children is out of the limelight.
This case is the first time I have been on Websleuths, so I would like to hear opinions of old timers.....

Do you get frustrated in this "waiting period" before a trial.
Do you still try to stay engaged.
Does new and startling evidence ever come up during this "waiting period".

I also just love to hear from Rexburg insiders who still have the pulse on the community. I hope if you guys pop in, you can give us some insight into how the people are feeling. Given that Covid and elections is so in the air, our case is probably not so.

Your voice is so beneficial for us, that is for sure. I, for one, sure need your factual interpretations.

Can I ask you to be a "bit emotional" here.... I feel that these two will stick with each other no matter what... all they have left is each other. However, there is plenty of discussion here about the distancing of each others cases.

Do you think that they could be convinced to be more distanced, even if they don't really want to. Do you think that would benefit them in the courtroom, to appear as separate cases???
 
Finally can shorten this up a bit. Aren't they BOTH having hearings today? Thought I read that up the thread.... ??
