Jones had no evidence whatsoever to declare Crystal a good mother. How would he know unless he was told by third parties. There were no character witnesses, no one from DSS to state that they had investigated the family and had come away with nothing to substantiate a charge of neglect. It was out of the blue and at the end of a trial in which she was charged with arson obviously endangering her children. I think Jones' remarks were inconsistent with courtroom protocol in other jurisdictions. |

I witness the actions described above myself. I have not included the things I observed and heard in the hallway. I don't think chatham is saying, these things didn't happen-he just didn't observe them while he was there. |

IMO- I think maybe she volunteered from the get go. I still have this strong feeling, she knew Wagstaff. There was to much eye contact between them from the time they were seated. |

Don't hold your breath. I want to see you enjoy the holidays. Thanks Walt for the clarification. I don't expect additional charges in light of the costs of this first trial and its intended outcome. |

Well, consider the Leon Brown case. How do you get a man off for rape charges, when his DNA is found at the scene, the victim has identified him (he was her cousin), and he has confessed? The DA's office (including Tracey Cline, who prosecuted this one), evidently figured a way: give the man immunity in return for his testimony against... Leon Brown-- a poor soul without any alibi. Claim Leon Brown was the real mastermind behind the rape. So Brown is arrested, detained for a year in jail, and then tried. The cousin admits the rape and testifies against Brown. Brown is found totally innocent--the jury returns in about five minutes, and the jury foreman complains that the jury didn't even know why the case was brought. BUT, the result was that the actual rapist was set free, according to the bargain. IMHO, accusing Leon Brown was a set-up by the DA's office to accomplish just that. I think they may do these kind of deals all the time. |

This brings me back to comments by Judge Osmond Smith III after he found Nifong guilty of criminal contempt and sentenced him to one day in prison. Judge Smith made a comment to the effect that he didn't believe there was a conspiracy between Nifong and Meehan to hide the exculpatory evidence of all the non-LAX DNA found on Mangum. Similar to the situation here, Smith never asked to hear the totally convincing evidence supporting that such a conspiracy existed. I would be willing to bet that he never read the transcript of that infamous Dec. 15 hearing. He had no basis whatsoever to make such a statement. He was totally out of order! Same thing here: Judge Jones was totally out of order to declare that Mangum is a good mother. This is just unbelievable stuff. |

Great point, Mike. Isn't unbelievable that an officer of the Court can lie and hide evidence and spend one day for contempt and Jackie Big Mouth gets 10 days and $200 in fines. |
