I’d say that Gannon captured our heart strings similar to that of JonBenét, Laci and Conner and Caylee. Maybe am missing some cases here, but these stood out for me, moo.

120 to 18 in a single day?More than three years since Gannon Stauch's body was found in northern Florida, his alleged killer and stepmom Letecia Stauch's trial is nearly ready to begin opening statements.

Robert McCallum, the public information officer for the Colorado Judicial Department, confirmed to The Gazette that a pool of 120 potential jurors had completed being assembled earlier this week. Attorneys on Monday will work toward narrowing down the 120-person pool to an 18-person jury, with opening statements expected to be given that afternoon.
Testimony and evidence presentation aren't expected to begin until Tuesday, according to McCallum.

Letecia Stauch trial: Opening statements nearly set to begin 3-plus years after Gannon's death

The Judge will be de-selecting without any more questions being asked of the Jurors from either side. They also expect some of the Jurors to have some circumstances that have come up since they were first chosen. Judge mentioned the other day that the Court has already received 5 notes- one lost their job so lack of income will be a hardship, one has had a family emergency. They still have to report because the Judge said EVERYTHING to do with Jurors must be done in concert with the lawyers. He couldn’t just dismiss them by phone or email.

Once they are down to 50, each side can strike 16 people without having to state a reason :

So 50 minus 32 will leave 18.
I think it will go rather quickly.

But atleast neither can she!! The Gazette Telegraph, Colorado Springs newspaper stated there would be no room for the public and no cameras of any kind can be in the courtroom. They have one opening for electronic and reporting. The rest is for family and expert witnesses
Is this ridiculous nonsensical letter part of her plan to seem insane? Is she trying to sway the judge?Quoting my own post to add info from LS's letter dated Feb 21, 2021 (see link) alluding to LS defending her biological son, protection of cruise passengers, and other prominent persons??
I've long wondered if these allegations could be tied to Rhode Island LE witnesses. (To be clear, I have no idea whether or not LS has a son or not). MOO
Letecia Stauch’s Letter to Judge: the Doctor Who Examined Me Was ‘Clearly an Actress’ and Friends with District Attorney
Murder defendant Letecia Stauch wrote in a letter to the judge dated February 21 that she experienced mental illness, that her defense lawyers were in "cahoots" with the prosecution, that a doctor who examined her was "clearly an actress," and that two men were involved in the death of victim...
Stauch denies wrongdoing.
“Indeed I am innocent but I will not put myself or others in danger running the defense against my biological son when the system is letting two men run free who are involved,” she wrote on February 21. She acknowledged having “bouts of insanity, and still do,” but said she did not murder or abuse anyone.
She asserted the state was prosecuting her to save face, and claimed she was being threatened in the bathroom away from cameras to confess.
“They have far too much invested in this wrongful incarceration to admit they were/are wrong,” she wrote. “For these reasons and because my defense team is in cahoots with them, I am left with no other choice but to represent myself.”
Yes, I too think this is her plan. Of course hope to goodness she doesn't succeed. Doubt it though.
