    Found Alive WI - Jayme Closs, 13, Barron, missing after parents found shot, 15 Oct 2018 *Arrest* #34

    But under the history, it appears the cabin was listed in September 2018 and the listing removed just yesterday (seems like too much of a coincidence to be unrelated). Maybe it was vacant while listed and someone was keeping her there, but how to avoid pop ins by potential buyers?

    CA - 13 victims, ages 2 to 29, shackled in home by parents, Perris, 15 Jan 2018 #1

    Almost all of the “likes” on their joint Facebook page are all things Disney. They both appear to be from families who share insular, fringe views. Part of a cultlike sub-culture?

    GUILTY NY - Shanta Myers, 36, Brandi Mells, 22, & 2 kids slain, Troy, 26 Dec 2017 *Arrest*

    To clarify, the prosecutor at the press conference said the charges presented at arraignment were the ones chosen by police for probable cause purposes, and that the single charge of 1st degree murder was under the subsection for multiple victims. He added that charges could change (as they...

    GUILTY NY - Shanta Myers, 36, Brandi Mells, 22, & 2 kids slain, Troy, 26 Dec 2017 *Arrest*

    Yes. One of the subsections for 1st degree murder is for multiple victims. He also indicated that charges might change at grand jury.

    TX - 26 dead, 20 injured in church shooting, Sutherland Springs, 5 Nov 2017 #2

    1) I hope it's OK to post this. In a note to fellow alumni, his father said that he and his wife were planning to leave TX and move to Colorado in the spring. If he was going to lose his parents' (apparently substantial) financial support, I wonder if that also played into his break?? 2) Have...

    FL - Manhunt in Tampa after 4 slayings in 5 weeks, Oct-Nov 2017 #1

    I also wondered this. The case I was thinking of was the D.C. Sniper. The plan was to kill his ex and make it look like another "random" murder by a serial killer.

    FL - Manhunt in Tampa after 4 slayings in 5 weeks, Oct-Nov 2017 #1

    Wow. The enhancement makes a big difference. Good work. The reflection on the left side of the jacket now looks to me like a book or maybe an iPad in a large pocket, bouncing when he walks. That might also explain the slight assymetry to the gait if something heavy is on one side? And the thing...

    GUILTY Fl - Dan Markel, 41, Fsu Law Professor, Tallahassee, 18 July 2014 - #5 *arrests*

    Sorry I missed it, but what are you reading as at least a partial admission that the As are paying for KMs attorneys?

    She says "the kids." Goes on to say they're driving his mother crazy.

    GUILTY FL - Dan Markel, 41, FSU law professor, Tallahassee, 18 July 2014 - #4 *Arrests*

    Former prosecutor here. KM isn't in the typical prisoner's dilemma, where it's a race to take a plea bargain. It's likely that, without her, there's no case against any of the As. Unclear what she has to offer, but if she has the goods, she could go all the way through the sentencing phase and...

    GUILTY FL - Dan Markel, 41, FSU law professor, Tallahassee, 18 July 2014 - #4 *Arrests*

    Yes, in any non petty criminal case, the government must provide counsel to a defendant whose indigence prevents him from securing private representation. The overwhelming majority of defendants are represented by court appointed counsel, which is why many observers here are wondering who is...

    GUILTY FL - Dan Markel, 41, FSU law professor, Tallahassee, 18 July 2014 - #4 *Arrests*

    I regret posting about this topic. To be clear, my post noting that he no longer practices law was not intended to devalue him in any way, but was in response to a comment wondering if David Lat was working for/with the As defense lawyers. He's a highly accomplished lawyer and commentator.

    In his first long post about the case, he noted a few possible theories, but fleshed out only one, including personal knowledge about the contentiousness of Danny's divorce and even linking to the court docket. http://abovethelaw.com/2014/07/a-prominent-law-professor-is-shot-at-home-and-killed/...

    No, Lat does not practice law and does not know the As. However, Above the Law is widely read by legal academics, many of whom were critical of ATL for early blog posts that suggested W's guilt before the evidence began to mount and while some (many?) of DM's friends were still doubtful of her...

    GUILTY FL - Dan Markel, 41, FSU law professor, Tallahassee, 18 July 2014 - #3 *Arrests*

    Yes, I agree with this, too. As for constitutional issues, someone previously noted that DA was not in custody and not compelled to speak, so no Fifth Amendment issues. Also no Fourth Amendment violation. Though the police would need a warrant to eavesdrop electronically on the call, DA...

    GUILTY FL - Dan Markel, 41, FSU law professor, Tallahassee, 18 July 2014 - #3 *Arrests*

    My apologies if someone has already noted this, but I'd like to know how recently she'd been speaking to the school of arts and sciences about placing the children there. That undermines the theory that she knew in advance. Also, I wish TPD's time stamp wasn't right on her face.

    GUILTY FL - Dan Markel, 41, FSU law professor, Tallahassee, 18 July 2014 - #3 *Arrests*

    When she breaks down, the detective says something like, "Now do you see I wanted to come here before I could tell you what happened?" It sounds as if she initially balked about going to the station and they used the promise of more information to get her in. Similarly, when she asks what...

    GUILTY FL - Dan Markel, 41, FSU law professor, Tallahassee, 18 July 2014 - #3 *Arrests*

    His gig in NY that year was not as a visiting professor. He did not have teaching obligations. As a scholar in residence, he had a place to work on his research and was treated as part of the school's academic community, but was only in town a few times that year.
