Good point.

People were bashing the defense counsel's effectiveness but I thought he was very effective (I couldn't stand him though) and the state worried me by how much they allowed the defense to get away with. So much that they could have and should have objected to. But it is hard when you are sitting...

I was surprised at how much the state allowed to come in on direct of GK. The prosecutor allowed all sorts of hearsay, leading questions, speculation and irrelevant stuff about GK and I was worried that it was enabling the defense to paint a picture of a good man who was betrayed by a cold...

Yes. I would love to see him win in appeal and have a new trial with a worse sentence.

Yup. But I guess in Hawaii, talking to another man jusitfies being thrown off a cliff.

Only up to 10 years. He tried to murder a woman in cold blood and the worst he can get is 10 years. That's the very worst.

§707-702 Manslaughter. (1) A person commits the offense of manslaughter if: (a) The person recklessly causes the death of another person; (2) In a prosecution for murder or attempted murder in the first and second degrees it is an affirmative defense, which reduces the offense to manslaughter...

Up to 10 years. It is a mitigator charge (the best way I can explain it) for attempted murder.

Women are punished for any "immoral" conduct. Even when that punishment is to deny them justice when someone tries to murder them.

Who said that?

True. Although there must have been a time lag between the time he initially confessed to the father and the time the police set up the recorded call, and ultimately arrested him. Perhaps Kendra put locks on the kids’ doors at that time and only she had the key. Why she wouldn’t just kick him...

I just saw a google example that mentioned them doing just that. But I cannot find any actual report. That being said, the Duggar parents did that back in the day after Josh was caught molesting his sisters. I wonder if Kendra did it to protect the kids against her husband?

That’s a pretty good guess as well. Let me check out the law in Arkansas on false imprisonment.

Holy smokes! My guess is that she and her husband tried to convince the victim not to tell and would not let her leave the home until she promised. ETA: Appearances are everything in their world.

I have no hope for them. But I would love for their children and their children’s cohort to realize that the way they were raised - the attitudes about sex, the body, submission, unquestioning obedience, sexual abuse, therapy- was dangerous and should not be repeated.

Holy smokes. This guy seems totally unconcerned in his intake video. What the heck!

Yes. That is the problem. They view the abuse of children to be unfaithfulness. Not an abhorrent crime against nature.

Using a wire tap or wire to record incriminatory statements has been an accepted means of gathering evidence for a long, long time. It is legal. No slope. We’ve already skied fast down that hill.

Isn’t that crazy? I think all the obsession and repression causes sexual dysfunction.

Yup. Which is what Gothard preached.
