I just had a thought - IF murder charges are brought against Bishop in MA for her brother’s death, would that take priority over the most recent murders? I guess what I’m asking is - could the people in MA be doing her a “favor” by trying to have her moved and tried in MA first instead of Alabama first (since no death penalty in MA)?

how does that work? I know she’d still be tried in Alabama, but I’ve seen some cases with other multi-state killers where the killers are always trying to get extradited back to a state with no death penalty because they have to serve their time their first...

just wondering...

I hate to say this but there is no death penalty in Massachusetts but there is in Alabama. The current DA said she couldn’t be charged now because none were for murder and the statue of limitations on the manslaughter charge ended in 1992.
