Defense: Twin said another man caused her sister's death
Posted: Monday, September 15, 2014 12:00 pm
By MAUNETTE LOEKS New Media Editor
The key question in the July 2008 death of 2-year-old girl has always been about which of three adults in the home was responsible for the girls death.
Dustin Chauncey, 28, has been charged with child abuse resulting in the death of a child, a Class IB felony, in the July 11, 2008, death of Juliette Geurts. Motions filed by Chaunceys attorney show he intends to use statements by the girls twin sister to point the finger at another man.
The girl, Jaelyn Geurts, would have been only 2 years old at the time, and the alleged statement came just days after her twin, Juliette, had died, according to the motion. The defense has signaled that it intends to offer evidence accusing Brandon Townsend, another man who stayed in the Geurts home, of killing the girl. The twins shared a bedroom, and Jaelyn had an opportunity to witness the blunt force trauma that caused Juliettes death, the defense says in its motion.
The motion says that Jaelyn Guerts spontaneously told her maternal grandmother Lynn Baum that Brandon spanked Juliette because she was naughty and would not go to bed. In subsequent statements, the motion says, Jaelyn told her paternal grandmother Mary Jo Geurts, Sissy is dead. Mr. Brandon killed her.

Justice for Juliette Jaelyn did not talk like that when she was two years old and was hard to understand at that time. Mr. Brandon was not a part of her verbage back then. The defense is fishing and hoping to create doubt. Grandma Lynn will do anything to protect her daughter and her former boyfriend at that time because it makes them all look bad. When her daughter was still married to my brother and living with two men with her 2 year old twin granddaughters in a home less than 800sq ft in size...
So why is Charyse Geurts/Vardeman in hiding so they can't find her to testify at her daughter's murder trial is the other question? What does she have to hide?
A tragic, sick and twisted true story that never ends. It makes me sick to my stomach that they just won't tell the darn truth for Juliette & Jaelyn's sake instead of adults always trying to protect themselves. The children are the victims here and are always forgotten...
Yes, he was. US Army Ranger.

COURT DISMISSES CHAUNCEY DEFENSE MOTIONS
BY Kevin Mooney | September 25, 2014
Pre-trial motions filed by defense attorneys for 28 year old Dustin Chauncey have been dismissed by Scotts Bluff County District Judge Leo Dobrovolny. Chauncey is facing trial the week of October 27th in the 2008 death of 2 year old Juliette Geurts of Gering after being indicted by a grand jury.
Dobrolvolny Tuesday dismissed a defense motion to quash the indictment, saying the court found the evidence heard by the grand jury supports a finding of probable cause that the defendant committed the crime. Chauncey’s lawyer, Todd Lancaster with the Nebraska Commission on Public Advocacy, had argued that the public’s dissatisfaction with the County Attorney’s office for not originally filing charges did not justify the appointment of a special prosecutor. But Dobrovolny said whether the grand jury may have been given erroneous advice does not matter if the indicted offense is supported by the evidence.
Lancaster also requested the court strike 11 prospective jurors based solely on responses given in a written questionaire. But Dobrovolny agreed with Assistant Attorney general Doug Warner that it is not appropriate for jurors to be dismissed for cause without them being interviewed under oath as part of the jury selection process.

I am confused at the insistence that Charyse is in hiding.
Why don't they call Casey and ask where she is?
I am certain he knows since they have a baby and are living as a family.
They both had active facebook a few weeks ago... only recently have they disappeared.
So, if they can't find Charyse then Casey must be gone too. (And the three surviving kids are where?)
So either Casey is aiding and abetting Charyse in hiding... or something isn't being communicated here.
I think at this point if Charyse is the bad guy... Casey can't be the good guy.
He trusts her enough to have 2 more children with her after Juliette's death. They are a happy family unit.
If she is trying to hide from testifying, he must be complicit in that unless they broke up VERY recently again. :twocents:
Unfortunately I am seeing some supporters drop off for this reason.
People are thinking that if Casey can have more babies with her, she must be innocent.
Aunt Monica appears to be the only family member fighting for Justice. That's pretty sad. :twocents:
And he got back together with the mother after that precious baby and her twin were abused? What? I literally have no words to describe how that makes me feel.

Justice for Juliette It continues to be a daily struggle and it would have been so easy to just give up and walk away like so many others have. However, if we do walk away and forget then they get away with murdering an innocent child. I am so sick & tired of the ugly truth is that so many self centered family & friends who care more about themselves than about the murder of this innocent child. Far too often it is the victim who gets forgotten because so many feel it's more important to get on with their lives like nothing ever happened. It has completely & painfully divided our family and why these cases are so often buried and forgotten. The personal sacrifices to seek justice has been extremely high and one day may share the struggles with everyone here on what it really took to see some earthly justice for Juliette...
What most people don't know is that because I never met or knew my niece Juliette in life some family members feel I have no right to fight for her justice. Which includes the mother and the father... Do you see or hear them fighting for her? But on the contrary, it is because she was an innocent child and my niece that it is my duty to fight for her along with nearly 40,000 people on this sight who never actually met her who believe those responsible for her murder need to be held accountable. We cannot bring Juliette back but it is our duty to make sure no other child suffers the same fate as Juliette Serenity Geurts. Any one viewing Justice for Juliette's sight for over the past 4 years can see this has always been about fighting both tooth and nail for Justice for Juliette and nothing more... Thank you for all of your support over the past 4 years because we could not have done any of this without your support and help.
