This is a local story for me. But it's not gotten any headlines yet. It's a really small area that sort of falls off the beaten path news-wise. Thought I would post it in Crimes in the News for starter. Mods, do what you may with that... Link: Orange County woman found dead had recently sought...

Case is skeletal remains about half an hour from where the car was auctioned. Body found November 1993. Longer hair and a beard. No good sketch at the moment. I mean...they have a cartoony sketch up. But the height and location match potentially. The time from actually being missing to body...

Thoughts on this case so far? The jailhouse interview is off the hook. Anyone buy the story?

I'm only chiming in here because I'm roughly the same age as the "accused" and I'm from the same area. In a really odd bit of irony, I share his first and last names. Now, that's a pretty common thing in these parts, but it's pretty ridiculous the messages I've been getting on social media from...

Just getting caught up on this. The GJ indictments list an FBI agent and a TBI agent, in the docs above. The TBI SA CF is an interviewer (speaking about specialities, not limiting what she actually does) and if IRC, she was the interviewer in another case where children and a woman had been...

http://www.wral.com/news/video/13471818/ Plea hearing live.

I think the special grand jury here means that not everyone is aware of it. For instance, if an older relative who owned some property and had provided material assistance to a crime were to be influential in the community and need to be charged with a conspiracy to or an accessory after a...

Hi there: Grand Juries are mostly convened in secret. They spend the majority of their time hearing evidence from witnesses. The average time for a grand jury indictment in my area is very small. This is not published as a time line or in minutes, but the grand jury only meets for a few days...

BBM: If you are playing with pearls and drugs, I think human trafficking can't be ruled out. I know a lot of people hate that idea and, in truth, it's awful. But it's not always any more mysterious than one bad person nabbing an innocent person and spinning their life into the maelstrom.

Why was this not a death penalty case? Has anyone expounded on that in one of the threads. (I really am trying to catch up)

Side note: In January of 2013, a large number of the "older" details of CART were made open to the public and essentially declassified by publication and presentation. This has a couple of things to do with this particular trial because the digital forensics done in 2008-2010 will be affected...

With respect to Calgary123 and oenophile, I had a different take on it. 1) I don't think any of this was the result of a conspiracy. I think there were a series of mistakes that were deemed negligible that weren't. I also think there was a cover-up of the mistakes. 2) I do believe that...

Does this mean we're getting the get-along gang back together? I'd really like to see what this particular case would look like with no hiding behind the various federal agencies (some of which are now public) protocols might look like. Also, Stephens would be perfect for this. He has seemed...

I'm just getting caught up on this one. (I don't live far from it, but I didn't know much about what was going on until yesterday-ish) I don't think we can compare this to Caylee Anthony for one primary reason: The age difference. A small child as opposed to a young teen is miles apart on the...

It's funny that you said that. I had the opposite thought today. I was re-watching some of the Raven blah blah blah he's done (video interview wise) and I was shocked that he got a hung jury. I (just personal opinion) don't think we will ever know what happened in the Cooper case. I'm not...

I was here (for something unrelated and someone texted me they were in court) and I walked in on the tail end of something from the state. I'm assuming it's re: a plea.

For soem reason, they are all in Durham County Court this morning. Except Raven. Making a bunch of motions and noise.

I'm gonna chime in because I watch a lot of these things. And I commented frequently on a few of them. By this point, even though it seems like a short period of time, there can be a number of things (that other juries have described going on in the jury room) that cause them to want to have a...

If you are missing the sound, it sounds like a mistrial is inevitable and the DT is arguing for the charges to be chucked in a way that they can't be retried. That's mostly speculation as to why it sounds like a kitchen sink argument. ETA: Anytime you have to preface a state's argument by...

I've sort of only been half watching this one. (As opposed to the other trials in the area of the last few years). I've been fascinated by some of the other horrible ones unfolding as well. Anyone got a feel as to what took so long for the arrest? I know a lot of the folks in Durham's DA office...
