I’m pretty sure that LVD is going to get 3 life sentences - just not sure if that will be consecutive or concurrent - several posters said usually concurrent but considering she was originally facing the death penalty and that JJ was so young and special needs I’m fairly confident that they will either be consecutive or that the one for JJ will be life without parole. So I think the best CD’s team can hope for in a plea deal is to take the death penalty off the table whether they negotiate that now or after LVD’s sentencing I really don’t think they will get a better deal than that. But part of me thinks that Prior has enough of an ego to think he can get an acquittal and CD is gullible enough to believe him so I’m not sure they’re even looking for a deal.I watched Lori Hellis's latest video last night, and she speculates that we won't hear anything about Chad until after Lori's sentencing. That'll be because if plea negotiations with Chad are taking place they will want to base those on the sentence that Lori gets.
Deal or no deal, I don’t think LVD’s sentencing will be a factor in when the judge announces the trial date - either he’ll announce it before her sentencing or he won’t but I don’t think it would be because they might come up with a plea agreement after she’s sentenced. But it could end up looking that way depending on when they do the DNA testing Prior has asked for because if those results come out about the same time as LVD’s sentencing everyone might think the judge was waiting for that sentencing instead of the DNA results.
As always - my opinion only
