"Wichita Massacre" murder trial "Ping List".

Please let me know if you want on (or off) this list.

Where is the lamestream press bump!

[machman]

Just purely a coincidence I'm sure.

[Corporate Law]

Just you wait and see, the animals' attorneys, in a Johnny Cochrane wannabe manner, will make the survivor out to be some sort of slut in order to deflect from the fact that their client gave this to her. No punishment is too cruel and unusual for these animals.

[C210N]

From the title, I was sure this was gonna be a case of
participant of TV "drama" Survivor gets STD...

[Rightly Biased]

This Just keeps on getting more and more bizarre as the days go by

Carr is dangerous? no way
Carr has a STD? impossible
Mistrial Mistrial Mistrial...well maybe.

[dennisw]

It get's worse and worse. She better have a pastor/priest and psychotherapist helping her. I sure hope she doesn't have some kind of lingering Stockholm syndrome.

[Free State Four]

"I'll find there is no fault as the district attorney didn't know it, nobody in law enforcement knew it until cross examination of detective Hosty was done this morning (and) then the witness made known her medical condition," Clark said.

I realize he is the judge and must remain neutral, but this woman is no WITNESS she is a f*ing VICTIM. We finally have a true victim in this country just chock full o' victims, and she is referred to as a witness. Up is down and down is up. fsf

Not to put too fine a point on it, but samples of the disease causing agent (virus or bacterium) could be taken and cultured from both victim and attacker, then the DNA compared. If it's the exact same pathogen, then there will be strong reason to believe he gave it to her...

[Dead Dog]

Smoke'em!

[Guenevere]

Just when this story couldn't get any sicker.....it does!...BTTT
That poor woman.
I sure hope it's a treatable STD!

[AnAmericanMother]

Take it easy. The judge is referring to her as a witness because the law governing failure on the part of the State to disclose evidence refers to "witnesses", not to "victims". The judge (and the prosecution) are trying to give any appeals court the necessary "buzzwords" to save the case from reversal here.

I don't know the law in Kansas, but in GA it's a pretty safe bet that when the prosecutors and the police investigating the case didn't know the undisclosed evidence from a witness, it's allowed in if the defense is given time to inspect the new evidence before it's given to the jury. This little gambit would not cut much ice here, don't think it will in Kansas either. Plus there's the wonderful saving grace of "overwhelming evidence". If the error wouldn't have affected the verdict, it may be error but it's not harmful error. Hopefully, that's what this is.

I wouldn't mind seeing all three of these scumbags on death row...(the two animals and their lawyer)

[Washington at Morristown]

Val Wachtel told the judge if his client appears in the courtroom in shackles it will give the jury the impression he is a dangerous person and influence their ability to presume him innocent

The degradation of the American *justice* system, courtesy of scumbag lawyers like Val Wachtel.

it will give the jury the impression he is a dangerous person

Words fail me, and I'm angry.

[Sweet_Sunflower29]

Please put me on your ping list, thanks so much!

[neutrino]

The U.S. Constitution prohibits any punishment adequate to the crime. Pity.

[Corporate Law]

I thought that may be the case, but was not 100% sure. Thanks for the insight.

The liberal national media is completely ignoring what these monsters did. Imagine if two white boys from the south did this to a couple of black people.


These monsters need to be fried in public.
