Per Rita Cosby's program tonight. The Hackings family are going to have Mark plead guilty. To get this over and done with. So's not to put everyone through a long trial.

It really is the only reasonable solution, isn't it? With all the evidence Mark's facing and LE has only scratched the surface, I'm sure.

I think this is an outrage! Apparently, the way I understand it, is that he will NOT be charged with capital murder. It will be either 1st degree murder or even manslaughter. He butchered two human beings to death, and by simply pleading guilty to it he can receive a sentence that will allow him to be paroled one day? Life certainly is cheap nowadays.

The families involved may not want a long trial, but have they ever considered the feelings of the two that are no longer here to speak for themselves? Might they want some justice? And what about the rest of society, do we have to put up with someone like Mark Hacking roaming around free after he is paroled?

Something is wrong with this picture.

Well, if Rita said it, it must be so. (sarcasm off).

Thanks, Deejay, we wait.

I hope they manage to do this. Note: I do not really expect Mark to ever do the decent thing--he's not a decent human being. The only consideration he gives is to himself.

I watched a portion of the Cosby show on its rerun a couple of hours later. She does seem pretty sure that's how it's going to go down. On the other hand, she could be hearing from family members who are simply hoping that's how it will be.

Encouraging news! I wonder if LE collected enough blood to verify Lori was pregnant? If so, and it sounds like it's a possibility, that ought to assist in Mark pleading guilty.

And I'm sure you're right about all info LE has; as usual, I bet there's alot more to this story than we have heard so far. Reason for murder has more to do with pregnancy than this deal about him (unsuccesfully) competing with siblings-my guess anyway...
