Read the article... first thing that jumped out at me was them saying Quinton's brother was younger, not older than him. Hopefully they were more rigorous with the rest of the facts.Will cameras be allowed at Leilani Simon murder trial? Not if Chatham County prosecutors can help it
Leilani Simon was absent from her court hearing Wednesday afternoon, where a stand-in judge ruled on media access during parts of her murder trial.
I thought she did have a very young infant with the latest bf who stayed in the home at the time?
A daughter who was about 6 mo at the time of the crime.
Baby is a little girl, Quinton's brother is maybe three? Almost four. The motion the other day has his birthdate in Jan'19. But that doc was riddled with errors, so take it with a grain of salt how accurate the date might be.
Oh that’s right, I misread that

Prosecutors seeking Leilani Simon dental records on dates surrounding son's disappearance
The State of Georgia is seeking the dental records of Leilani Simon surrounding the time when her son, Quinton, went missing.
> "The state subpoenaed Aspen Dental on Friday for any and all dental records for the treatment of Leilani from Oct. 1 to Oct. 5..."
> "The state also subpoenaed Leilani's mother, Billie Jo Howell, to bring any of Leilani's journals, diaries or other writings in her possession..."

MOOs
Is this about the Orajel? I'd thought her story was that she was getting Orajel for the baby that was teething, not herself.
No, I don’t think a bite would be evident by then, JMO. I wonder if she’s claiming some drugs she received fprelates to dental work affected her in such a way she’s not responsible for her behavior or can’t remember it? Maybe that would tie in the journals as well? Again, just a thought, pure speculation and opinion.

Georgia prosecutors have subpoenaed a local dentists’ office for records related to Leilani Simon, who has been accused of murdering her son then discarding his body.www.foxnews.com
********
Julie Rendelman, a New York-based criminal defense attorney and former prosecutor, told Fox News Digital she believed prosecutors were likely seeking dental records to further establish a "timeline" as it pertains to her whereabouts and her allegedly false claims to need Orajel.
"My guess is that she made some type of statements indicating that she had a dental procedure or had to see a dentist between October 1st and October 5th, which is around the time when the child is reported missing," she said. "And they're trying to establish that she is not being forthright in regards to that."
She also said investigators could be trying to determine if something that happened during her dentist appointment would have led to her seeking pain medication, such as Orajel.
"Remember, they don't have any eyewitnesses to the beating," Rendelman said. "The most important thing is to establish who could have been with the child, who would have had exclusive control of the child. Because if you're able to establish that, you're able to establish potentially who killed or hurt the child."
She added: "If she's made a series of statements, i.e., for example, if she gave an alibi saying, ‘I was at this location,’ on any given day … they're going to check out whether or not she, in fact, was there. Because if she's not, that's just another thing she lied about. And if she lied, the question becomes, why did you lie?"

I think the request for documents is standard nomenclature when asking for documents---it does not mean there are journals or diaries- just standard language for a request for recordsThe original subpoena issued to Aspen Dental and Billie Jo Howell, the mother of Lelani Simon, requested they submit to the court “any and all journals, diaries or other writings” that belonged to Simon and for Aspen Dental to provide Simon’s dental records.
…
Assistant Public Defender Robert W. Attridge, Jr. wrote in the motion that the subpoena asked Howell to “act as an agent of law enforcement and forces her to unlawfully search for evidence that the defendant enjoys as ‘expectation of privacy.’”
Dental records and diaries, hmm. I wonder what kind of writings; LS doesn’t strike me as someone who bothers to journal their life experiences but you never know.Attorneys for Quinton Simon’s mother fighting subpoena for dental records, ‘personal writings’
The defense claims the subpoena violates her Fourth Amendment rights.www.wsbtv.com
Leilani’s due back in court on February 13. Maybe we’ll learn more then.
(Snipped by me)
It's hard to tell. What's unusual is that the subpoena was for Leilani's mother BJ Howell to turn over the writings - “any and all journals, diaries or other writings” that belonged to LS. IMO most documents such as letters or receipts would be covered by search warrants but this subpoena was attempting to compel BJH to surrender something out of the norm.
