I watched the trial on this case. It appears that CHPD hoped for another "slam dunk" case and brought in their "A-Team" JMORight. But not super basic stuff. This is from the day they were arrested. Now contrast that with the article about this arrest:
UNC Murder Suspect Tied to Duke Slaying
Cops say one suspect arrested in the UNC murder also killed a Duke grad student.abcnews.go.com
If more than 1 perp were involved, then it wouldn't matter who actually delivered the fatal blow, because of the felony murder rule. If two or more individuals are involved in a burglary (or sexual assault) that results in a death, they are both equally culpable, regardless of who actually did the killing. At least that is how it works in many states in the USA. I'd have to look at the murder statute for NC to see how it specifically is implemented in that jurisdiction.I know "a palm print" was on murder weapon but last I remember they had not yet confirmed that it matched MESO, or do others recall that confirmation coming? ...details of this case are rapidly fading from my memory
Also, my bigger concern is that IF 2 perps were involved, and tell 2 very different stories, it may be hard to untangle who gets charged with delivering the murderous blow and who gets charged as an accessory.
"Time-Out" (...it has long since moved to a different location from the one it was in at time of the crime -- couple of blocks away)
I just think of her dad and shake my head. In our Southern lingo, we would say, "She was his eye-ball," obviously meaning she was everything to him.
If the press has nothing to say on the 10th anniversary, that will be a huge clue to us, IMO, that there are serious issues with this case. Because the only way I think they would stay quiet is if LE asked/ordered them to.
yeah, I'm not generally drawn too easily toward conspiracy-type thoughts but I do wonder if police chief Blue's resignation by end of year is in any way pre-emptive of something, ...ahem, proverbial, soon to hit the fan in this case? Just sayin'.
my guess would be no as she is wearing a DUKE sweatshirt and KR went to UNC
I don't see any logo. It just looks solid grey. But I'm really hoping that's her because that would imply that Faith's family aren't still suspicious of her anymore if she's sitting right next to Faith's father.my guess would be no as she is wearing a DUKE sweatshirt and KR went to UNC
I agree. This is all so very strange.
That’s definitely not Karena.my guess would be no as she is wearing a DUKE sweatshirt and KR went to UNC
I don't think it is Karena anymore, but I also don't think that's her sister. Unless the caption was incorrect.
At this point, it is clear that they've decided nothing new will come out until it is time for a trial. The reason is probably to preserve the accused's right to a fair trial with an untainted jury pool. It may be that the defense asked for a gag order and got one, or it may be that this is SOP for how the Chapel Hill police handles trials.
