Guess we have to disagree. Those aren’t cases I have heard about. This case is known throughout the world. To say the State, the Judge, the defense are all incompetent just doesn’t pass muster. I think they are all throwing the case. Maybe praying for Lori and Chad to please plea guilty and quietly move on. That’s covering for someone.
I agree with that. They do want a plea deal. Mark Hoffman was given one, and his case was very widely known, but it is over 30 years old.
Regarding JP's request for the last Grand jury transcript, Nate Eaton stated that the State replied that the GJ session in question didn't concern Chad's case, so he wasn't eligible to receive the transcript. It's not clear what that GJ was about.
I love Kay’s statement.
While that may be true, I was going more for the running theme of “State has failed to give us everything yet and we can’t prepare in time”. Just because the State is saying Chad isn’t entitled to that transcript doesn’t mean that the rest of their Discovrry obligations disappear. Both ‘Bill of Particulars’ highlight several things from each Defense that they say the State has but they do not.
I agree with all you said. But I think the case with the Daybells isn’t politically motivated. I think it’s motivated by the way the DA, the Judge and other locals involved feel about their church getting tarnished. And that’s a real concern for them.
For now.
Emphasized portion by me.
Yep. That language shouldn’t be used by anyone, imo. The judge isn’t interested in our opinions.Emphasized portion by me.
Whatever the reason/reasons are it is apparent that the State & Court want to have so much sealed. It’s kind of crazy to me the level it has reached (as far as the volume of Sealed records go).
Not being named here because of the Rules and also not mainstream media source but awhile back there was a social media user, one who is followed by many who follow this case, encouraging people to call the Judge. It included some expletives that one should say when they call & also images of a big middle finger with hashtags using the Judge’s name.
I’m all for anyone expressing their opinion and frustration but I hope if others also want to call the Court please take the higher road & refrain from just cursing them out. There may still be a slim chance one day the trial(s) will be recorded with audio or video and some sort of broadcast component. Slim chance but I think it could still come into play especially if a higher Court weighs in on some of the issues before then. But without that, and people calling in nasty things to the Judge, I can see why he may double-down on keeping cameras out.
((NOTE - this was not “you” @Love Never Fails, I do not think you’d ever do such a thing. I just know when this happened before people did call in and gave the Court their opinions, and I worry if more of that happens (and is overwhelmingly) negative and accusatory to the Court, that slim chance of getting to see this trial one day may disappear forever.))
