Sorry because I am so far behind on this case, but my view is that MG is whacko. Vibrations, etc. She still believes this stuff despite what has transpired. She was a perfect target for Chad and Lori.

While I don't like Prior's style and I find him extremely irritating, in a recent post I complimented his efforts to represent his client. I think he is putting every effort out there. We need defense attorneys to do their job to the best of their ability. That is the important balance in the...

I see that we have different opinions regarding JP's effectiveness. I think he's trying to do anything he can. I appreciate your comments about his strategy. It's given me more things to ponder. Thank you for your insight.

I know that many of us get upset with defense counsel, particularly where we strongly believe in the guilt of the accused. Having said that, I think Prior is doing an excellent job. It IS his job...and it keeps the legal system in balance. While I want to give him kudos, and while I'm...

It's definitely possible that he was going for the 'easy targets'. But he ran by several males that he could have 'easily' stabbed when they weren't putting up any meaningful defense. I think he was seeking out women, but I might be wrong. I would like to know more.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Many of us know very little about burial.

It's his lies and his use of power that tell us that he shouldn't be allowed to have a law license. He lied about what he was doing at the time of the accident. He pretended that he thought that he ran over a deer. He cared more about himself than the deceased, that he killed. This man...

The only male dead was a security guard. It seems like the attacker was focused on women. I watched a video where he avoided men. One victim's family has requested no photos of the victims. I can't imagine what they are going though. <hugs> to all of those who care for the victims or were...

I'm not sure I agree with your conclusion, but it should definitely be considered.

I totally agree! He's grasping at straws. (OK, as a defense lawyer with little to work with he should. He doesn't have too many other strategies to pursue, does he? )

I wish that EVERY party in this case was repentant. EVERY party acted poorly. The drunk kids shouldn't have continued to call him a pedo. The Carlson group shouldn't have been quite so aggressive. (Although I believe they thought they were actually helping. Unfortunately they were a bit over the...

He came running up to the boys. He was aggressive. He took his goggles and snorkel out and clamped them in his mouth as he grabbed at the boys. So my interpretation of events (as fallible as it can be) is that he didn't lose his snorkel because he slipped. He lost his snorkel because he put it...

This case is one of the most challenging cases that I think a jury could face. All parties acted poorly. I wouldn't have wanted to be in their position. I think they got it right (based on my opinion), but if the jury had gone the other way I would have accepted their verdict. I have to say I...

Welcome to Websleuths smackdown! Thanks for posting and sharing your thoughts.

And THAT is when he took his knife out of his pocket. I found that very telling.

Agree. But just like defense trying to provoke prosecution witnesses. This is a "dance" as both sides try to figure things out.

So glad to hear that some of you were able to see the total eclipse! I live about a 20 minute drive from a beach town on Lake Erie that experienced totality under sunny skies. I kind of wish we had decided to go, but we at least experienced 99.7% eclipse. Street lights came on and temperature...

The screen cap from that YT video is exhibit A in the definition of a sociopath. This woman is scary. Thank you to LE, the prosecution and the judge! (And, to the defense, who had to put up with their client.) I just watched the prosecution's sentencing comments and I've got to give them kudos...

I've been thinking about this case a bit further. If I recall correctly his victims were 8 then 12, then 15. Both sexes. So this tells me he wasn't going after a 'type'. Neither male nor female. And age got older, so perhaps not a pedophile. Perhaps is was about power. I wonder if he was all...

<pulling out for focus> "or how he plans to plead" This tells me that pleading guilty is on the table. This tells me that he is likely guilty or otherwise it wouldn't be 'on the table'.
