I like reading that Landen feels she’s gotten justice for Gannon. It would be awful to have gone through the past 3 years of torture and still want vengeance. I didn’t hear any anger from either parent. They both seem to have a healthy attitude and an acceptance that justice has been served. I hope they remain at peace for the long term.
 
I missed being here with all of you for the verdict. I just wanted to say, as I'm sure has been repeated ad infinitum before me, I am so thrilled with the verdict. Ever since the Casey Anthony debacle, I never feel super confident that a jury is seeing what I think I see. I'm glad they did here. You all have been soldiers in Gannon's army since day 1 and I pray everyone slept a little more peacefully last night.

Murder-1st degree - after deliberation - Guilty
Murder-1st degree - child under 12 position of trust - Guilty
Tampering w/ a deceased human body - Guilty
Tampering w/ physical evidence - Guilty
Impact statements by Nicole Mobley, former neighbor of Stauch & community member who helped coordinate searches & other things. Gannon's great uncle Jeff Davenport, Gannon's great aunt Veronica Birkenstock. Bob Rogers, Gannon's Grandfather. Debra Pierce, Gannon's grandmother. Landon Hiott Bullard, Gannon's mother. Al Stauch, Gannon's father. Al asked the judge that Letecia Stauch be stripped of his last name, saying it has been “infuriating” to hear her referred to as “Ms. Stauch.” DA Michael Allen & asked Judge Werner to dismiss the outstanding escape charge case against the Murderer in order to get her sentenced & serving time ASAP.
Letecia is not going to make a statement, on the advice of counsel, according to Tolini. Defense attorney Tolini is requesting LS be sentenced to Women's DOC located in Pueblo & Judge refused to make a recommendation -- this is the determination by DOC & not the Court.
Judge Werner sentenced her to life in prison with no parole plus 13.5 years. (LWOP for both murder charges, 12 years +3 years parole for tampering with deceased human body consecutive with counts 1 & 2 & 18 months tampering physical evidence consecutive). Stauch remanded to the custody of the Colorado Dept. of Corrections. Case is dismissed.

The catharsis is real!

oftentimes I wonder whether my own strong emotions, particularly yesterday, colour or bend reality to my desired or needed place of catharsis because they are overwhelming and I need safety.

i'm never sorry for going on these journeys and being full on victim friendly.
Sure there is a price for it and even though my heart was very hard when I entered this trial space and I don't actually believe my participation means even an atom of good for the victim or process, I still enter.
I had a feeling she would just ignore the entire process and she did. and I didn't want to spend anger or evil words on her, feeling like it would indicate, to me , that I have been infected by her monsters.
i doubt I spared her any angry or any words either.
and yet, towards the end I had a quiet hope she would say something and give Gannon's last words back to his parents where they rightfully belonged.

When Landen's aunt spoke and gave her the bible I started to think that just maybe a miracle can happen here.
That is not so important, the offer of light was made to the dark, the light does not fear the dark.

I had a strange experience though.
I thought I should send her energetic light and I was sending to Landen while she gave her victim impact statement , with my left hand and to T with my right hand and in the process my right hand just moved, almost without my volition to Landen too and it was like, give all the light to Landen.
And i did.

The entire process was deeply spiritual for me.
I am very very grateful and humbled that I was permitted to participate, see and understand it on that level.
i awoke today still feeling the gratitude and reinforcement of spirit that I experienced yesterday.
It was not a dream.
MOO
 
I am so thankful justice was served (or as Gannon's aunt said earthly justice) Today I am thinking about the jurors. As Al said in his statement he had a lot of criticism in the early days because people thought he supported her and he had a job to do, to get into the mind of a person that would kill Gannon. Those jurors had to get in her head. They saw and heard all the worst of the worst stuff that the monster did to Gannon. They had to basically get in her head and decide if they believed she was insane. I hope they are doing well today. I can't imagine anyone sees what they had to see and comes out not in some way impacted.
 
MOD NOTE:

Enough with the discussion about Al's choice of words in his VICTIM impact statement. We have no way to know what he meant, but we DO know he's the father of a dead child. Let him grieve, and let him be.
 
FWIW according to Landen's powerful impact statement, T was vindictive beyond what we already know. Targeted stabs, 18 to precious Gannon, who knows how many to his grieving parents. Digs at Gannon's mom, for having a high risk third pregnancy. The cape. We can only imagine what else T was cutting into them with. We just know she was.

We don't know, but I like to imagine, that both of Gannon's parents exercised their liberties to stab back, in their impact statements. Private messages directed right at T. I hope she hated every single one.

Someone asked upthread what AS could possibly have seen in T and someone else answered with something about her becoming just what the other person seeks. That is the dark art of her Cluster A-F. No real identity of her own, save the ever-changing ability to become the next thing, without ever being anything.

I don't know that there's a label for it, likely a combination of personality disorders, somewhere between the self-esteem bankruptcy of raw narcissism and the excessive neediness (hot/cold) often seen in borderline personality disorder. Chimeras. Chameleons. It's almost like encountering a school teacher, then pulling off the mask and finding a sultry escort. Removing that mask only to find a Stephen King clown. Beneath that mask a dark lord, and beneath that, nothing at all, just a hole so deep you feel its pull.

T doesn't have dissociative identity disorder. She has no identity at all.

And in that vacuum, envy, pettiness, malice and hatred are free to breed.

Everything else was but an act.

I don't have any doubt that LS is racist. The way she talked and what she said to implicate several minorities in her own evil acts was on par with the hoax by Papini. Good riddance. JMO

I also immediately thought of Papini when I started hearing all the names LS was using.
Good riddance indeed.

This trial was very hard for me to watch. For years, I dealt with parents who were just like this “woman”. Gaslighting mom, telling me my father had lost his job when he hadn’t so us kids had to deal with the anxiety that this created in our home, father on many occasions would simply act as if I was not in the room… he’d take the phone cord with him to work so even if something terrible happened, we’d have no way of contacting the authorities…went years having to register with public assistance agencies so we could have access to school lunch programs, while dad was off with yet another side piece. I hope Gannon is finally at peace. I hope he knows his suffering was not in vain and his cries have not fallen on deaf ears. He mattered, I matter, and so does every human being. He will never be forgotten.
