I guess sex, murder, and lies are more captivating for some people. I wince, every time I hear that hyped up intro.
The Shaniya Davis murder trial is also going on right now
I have been very involved in the trial but not because of the sex or religion or even the lies because Travis deserved to get justice for his brutal triple slaying and so did his family.As I watched Juan Martinez I can only hope he will be the prosecutor in this case,so maybe Jhessye gets justice. I have read from the beginning on both children.
I hope you don't think I am not interested in justice for Travis and his family. I was referring to the media hype and tag lines that surrounded his case, JVM, NG, etc.
Jhessye's trial as Marigold pointed out, sadly will not receive anywhere near the media attention. That was my point.
As always, my thoughts are with those who loved and treasured our sweet butterfly.
yep. I agree AmandaReckonwith. Some cases capture that intense media coverage and some seem to just fall out of the media and therefore the public eye.
No rhyme or reason to it sometimes that I can see. Sometimes I think a lot if the people who follow these cases and feel passionately about them tend to follow in lockstep behind whatever NG or JVM want to be "the case" of the moment leaving so many others to fall by the wayside, unnoticed.
I agree with what you are both saying. I feel if more people knew of what happened to Jhessye that there would be such an outrage (well there is, but not enough). It makes me so sad that she HAD a great loving life and her mother was probably jealous and took it away from her and made poor Jhessye pay for her own selfishness!:furious: I can't wait to see justice served.
jerice is in the news today:
"Jhessye's mom, Jerice Hunter, claims children abused in foster home
CBS 5 News has obtained a letter from Jerice Hunter, the Valley mom facing charges in her 5-year-old's disappearance, to a church member who claims he has evidence that will help her."
The complete article is at http://www.kpho.com/story/22536613/...rice-hunter-claims-child-abuse-in-foster-home
The letter to the pastor is at: http://ftpcontent.worldnow.com/kpho/MISSING CHILD SHOCKLEY -jerice broken arm letter.pdf
I don't have time right now to say how I feel, so I will just post the article for now.
I think the abuse allegations are interesting in light of what she's charged with. Reaching pretty far to try to deflect attention from her own abusive nature and her dead daughter and trying to appear to be a loving parent.
That's some serious balls considering what her crime is.
My own opinion is that she got the foster care abuse tale straight from Shirley's mouth. It was what Shirley was alleging when she fought CPS to try to regain custody of Jhessye's siblings. As if THAT was gonna fly. She is not allowed to speak to her children so it didn't come from them, it came straight from Shirley who is sucking on sour grapes right now because she can't get her hands back on her other grandkids.
ETA very well put knox. So much concern for her living children but not a word about her missing presumed dead abused locked in the closet and beaten starved daughter Jhessye.
