Thanks - fixed my post to read "murder investigation"... You knew what i meant though, right?
Yeah, but up until the custody judge's statement explicitly including it, many felt the information related to the murder investigation (in the affidavits - BC's especially) had no place in a custody hearing. That might have been a fair point prior to the judge's statements... but no longer.
Hmmm... hard to say. Regardless, I just wonder if MH's affidavit is "only the beginning" of the type of (murder investigation) information that might be put out there for the custody hearing (even from folks - friends/neighbors/etc who wouldn't have otherwise "neede to talk" at all...)
Guess we'll see...
The murder case has always been central and it is obvious - there is no other reason why the judge sent 5 LE officers to collect the children based on what little was presented in the Ex Parte.
I will agree that many of the affidavits point squarely at the murder case, that sort of pretty much proves the murder has indeed taken center stage since the beginning. No doubt BC has tried to prove his innocence throughout his affidavits. Again more acknowledgement that even he and his lawyers were aware the murder was a central issue. All the motions filed to exclude it also provides further acknowledgement that they know the murder is central to the custody issue. The fact they failed to have it removed was to be expected, and not trying would have been beyond ignorant.
I don't see that anything has changed about the custody issue since 16 July. The judge was forced by BC's lawyers to rule on it - we heard about it. She is well within her rights as the sole decision maker to determine what is essential to the custody issue and what is not. She granted the Ex Parte on the 16th - her position has not changed.
