I'm on the same channel and they just said he would make his first appearance in court this AM. What a difference a half hour makes.
They've been saying that all morning on the channels I've seen. Not saying much about it, though, as the storm Ernesto and the anniversary of Katrina, etc. are getting the most coverage. And the plane crash.
Do you know? If they know they won't file charges, would there be a court hearing? Or wouldn't he just be released from jail and the DA hold a press conference to explain?
Only other possibility that comes to mind: they could charge him for obstructing justice and interfering with an investigation by making a false confession, or they could send him back to CA to face child porn charges there.
Here's what I just heard, on MSNBC...one of their regular legal experts just said there has been speculation, nothing confirmed yet, that IF there is no matching DNA in this case, the DA will decide not to file charges. It was Susan Filan who said it.
I think that was the basis for what you heard. Speculation all weekend from people talking to each other behind the scenes, that IF no DNA match, then no charges.
They don't know that their isn't a match; they don't know that if their isn't, no charges will be filed. They are speculating about what the DA will do if there's no DNA match. That's it.
