One article said the Newton County sheriff (I believe it was him) said the trial would be held in Newton County. Now the Newton Cty prosecutor will be handling it, unless a special prosecutor is called in, which I think is unlikely since this is pretty much a slam dunk case.
However, If the defense pleas not guilty, I will be VERY suprised if they do not ask for and are granted a Change of Venue. If it goes to trial.. I am almost ready to bet it would go down in Sedalia Missouri.
Bump for later reference.
Thanks Pandoraou, i will
I just noticed that David Spears's myspace page has been deleted. It must have been family, because that other pig's page is still there. I also wanted to say, that I recall David Spears saying that he had a blackout when little Rowan was murdered. I'm here to say that if that were true, he would have NEVER remembered what he confessed to. I have personally had a few blackouts when drinking, (that's why I don't drink) and memories of a blackout do not come back. Even if someone told you that you did this or you did that....you do not remember.
But, we all knew that he was lying to begin with.
No new news at the moment. I plan to go to the trial, whenever that goes down, so will let everyone know whats happening when it does.
I agree with you completely about blackouts and memory. While I have not drank for 20 years, I’ve tied one on a few times in my past.. and the few times I was so drunk that I could not recall what happened, I NEVER remembered it later.
Sounds to me like a guilty conscience trying to make himself look the tiniest bit less guilty.
Hmm, although I believe what you guys are saying, I have blacked out (drinking and drugs involved, in my irresponsible younger days), and someone mentioned something to me about that night that I didnt even think had happened. It was a place we went to, I had totally forgotten that we had left the bar we were at and went to another one. But when the person reminded me, it started coming back to me.
The reason that I don’t believe his “defense”, however, is that once it started coming back to me, I remember that I wasn’t any less in control than the average drunk person (I remember thinking that I shouldnt be taking drugs, and actually deciding to stop because I knew I didn’t want to go down that path). Being drunk doesnt make someone rape and kill a young girl, I’m sorry. You would have to actually WANT to do it, and be TEMPTED to do it. Alcohol does lower your inhibitions, but they have to be pretty damn low to begin with to do something like this.
I hope you are able to go to the trial McCoMo, it would be nice to hear first-hand from you what goes down. Please dont forget us!
You're probably right in saying that this was the beginning of the David's "defense" which in my opinion, is NO defense. I am so sick and tired of hearing about such heinous things being done to children, I could scream!
“Alcohol does lower your inhibitions, but they have to be pretty damn low to begin with to do something like this.”
I am in complete agreement.
Check out this blog. It has locals there who went to the funeral. It seems Colleen was sleeping with both men. The mother needs to be locked up imo.

Being drunk or on drugs has never, IMO, been a defense. Those who are unable to control their actions on drugs or alcohol should use neither. While their thinking may be incapacitated, it is a willful and voluntary incapacitance, thus the user is still responsible for their actions.
Looks like some really pissed off people responded to that blog, huh? I can relate.
Interesting reading.
“Please dont forget us!”
Don’t sweat it, I will absolutely (barring my own death happening first) keep ya up to date on what goes down.
WARNING: This is one sick guy if this is true. (keep scrolling down to the posts)
omg the mother,,, Colleen just added me to her myspace friends list...let me dig a little deeper,,, lol...Yes I have a myspace page....
nice site, thanks.
I also read somewhere that the BACA Bikers “Bikers Against Child Abuse” have a hit out on these 2 dirt bags...They attended the funeral also..
LOL. Well, I do not know about a hit, per se, but I have little doubt how some of the BACA boys would handle it.
I am having problems trying to engage this woman...I don’t know how to say anything short of “CHILD KILLER”!!!! So far ,,,all I dig up points to her....I am hugging and kissing my babies right now....I so luv my KIDS! I am so sick but thanks for this thread! REALLY!
now i am talking to rowan’s sister who lives in florida....more to come....
