I think the girls were dead before SW got home though I am open to changing my mind on that. As far as CW snapping or premeditating, I'm leaning towards premeditation because of the dump site. It's just so remote and I think that gives me the sense that he put thought into this. Where I can't...

The disposal of the bodies reminds me of the michael blagg case. It will be interesting to see what the prosecution has learned from Anadarko in regards to CWs work truck, dump site info. Perhaps there is Gps info from a previous site visit to the recovery site in CWs work truck? Just trying to...

I'm a member who hasn't posted in, well, years but this case is compelling. From the little information available, I think it highly likely that the girls were killed before SW. Of course, that may not be able to be proven. IMO, their financial troubles were not a thing of the past but very much...

Wow!! Woke up across the pond this morning to find we have a verdict! The verdict is what I expected but boy was that quick. Now, the Schenecker family ( and hopefully the powers family) can begin to move forward. I'm sure there will be an appeal but I highly doubt it will be successful. Appeals...

Caught up on testimony. Barring something I'm unaware of in jury instructions, my vote is guilty of first degree murder. Evidence shows premeditation and, based on the Florida statute, she is mentally ill BUT knew her actions were wrong and would have consequence. This is, of course, my opinion...

Stands for very respectfully:-)

Regarding JS and where she received her care, I'm a military spouse and prior service too. Here's how it works: our insurance is called tricare. You can get either prime or standard. Prime is the automatic enrollment and if you want standard, you elect for it. The difference is HMO type coverage...

Caught up on the thread. I wanted to add regarding the divorce and wrongful death suits: Parker filed wrongful death to keep her from using the bulk of their marital assets to fund her defense. The judge denied JS request to freeze the assets. I'm not sure how it works in Florida until the...

Caught up on testimony and the thread. I have to say, some of the comments blaming her kids and parker are astonishing to me. Every shred of evidence shows he tried hard to get her help but she thwarted him by refusing to sign a release. Her kids may have been disrespectful but we don't know...

http://www.tampabay.com/news/humaninterest/schenecker-home-sold-but-other-tragic-scenes-pose-problems/1209699 Tampa bay times wrote an article regarding the sale of the home

The house was sold long after the murders. The current residents are renting it from the new owners. I believe ps sold it at a loss.

It appears she is not willing to allow her lawyers to stipulate time of death for the kids. Her attorneys must be ready to strangle her. The DNA testimony is quite dry so I'm going to clean my kitchen and get dinner started. It's early evening here in Germany:-)

Good point! It's possible he felt she had gotten better and perhaps he thought she would accept help if needed. These examples are going to make it difficult for the jury in deliberation. I'm still of the mind she knew right from wrong. Husband and I have asked ourselves how he could have left...

I think the postit notes and the journal entries are hurting the defense. I was a little surprised they chose not to cross examine PS especially since JS disputes some of their conversations pre-murder. What do you all think?

Just caught up on parker scheneckers testimony as well as the postings here. Let me say up front, I do think we have a problem understanding and treating mental illness. I do believe that julie suffered from mental illness. However, everything I have heard thus far leads me to believe that her...
