Good point. I live in HOT country/Bexar county. No way in heck would I have a fire pit in my yard since it's so hot/warm here 24/7/345!! lol. There ... Jacksonsville .... could be? Maybe Maria/Gabs grave was already there? Ah geeze. No way does digging a new hole in the ground FIT with the timeline, imo. OR he hid the body. Gross, but he could have?

Back to the regular programming. Outta here!:seeya: [/*]

hopefully we'll find those answers at some point!:seeya:

The timeline simply doesn't work. No way CL had time to dig in this hard Carolina red clay and bury this body in just a couple hours....plus have the mess cleaned, the wall patched, the painting started and be cleaned up himself--all before Xtina was to arrive? No way...

Oh no way at all.

It reminds me of Gloria Alred making her pitch for Amber Frey way before the trial began trying to polish Amber's image and credibility.

Okay did anyone notice this besides me when Hudson was commenting on Christina's woes?

He said it was obvious to him that Christina was torn by her love she has for her husband and angry with him for CHEATING on her. Hmmmmmmm was this a misspeak on Hudson's part or does he know that CAL did indeed have a willing affair with Maria. It sounds to me like he knows they did.

Yep.

It sure seems like they do know that ML and CL were having an affair.

Not only does LE know they were having an affair, but apparently Christina did too (and probably some of their friends and co-workers).....and finding Maria in her house with her husband might have been the straw that broke the camel's back.... [/*]

That's always been my gut feeling about what happened.

Squawk where did you hear him say this? I have been dying to see his body language when he answered the questions asked by the reporters.

I want to see how he looked when he said,

Proof
I loved her
Do I have a choice


TIA I have been searching but can't find it!

i was surprised that the police didnt want the table, you would think any property removed from that house during that time would have at least been checked for marias dna. jmo

And what was the part with her saying she'd talked with Maria in the afternoon and 2-1/2 hrs. later she's missing? Or is she referring to it in hindsight knowing when Maria was last seen? [/*]

i don't think it is too odd to remember different things once a certain amount of time has passed since a trauma. Also, I think with the benefit of hindsight, one might place a different interpretation on things. There have been times in my life when, immediately after a trauma, I've said things I still cringe about today (and the whole world was not watching or listening to me).

I totally agree with you. She's not a suspect so why the need to defend her? It was very bizarre to say the least.

*snipped*

[/*]

You're kidding, right?

She is not an official suspect, but just read this board, and all the other board/blogs and what we've heard is the local public perception of her.

I'd say there was a pretty strong need to come out and defend her, and that they did very well. IMO of course.

That's why she has a lawyer. That's his job.

Just for the sake of discussion: What if it turns out that she was involved one way or other? They may not have all the evidence yet. Don't you think all those who spoke out and defended her, would have egg on their faces. How credible will they be in court? If it ever came to that.

I'm just saying it wasn't their place to make those statements. Her lawyer's statements would've been more than sufficient.

IMO!

I think that Hudson and the OCSD were defending themselves as well as Christina, since public perception and comments were that by not arresting her, they were not doing their jobs.

People were demanding her head on a platter -- so they felt it necessary to publicly explain that she is not a suspect in the murder or coverup, and that so far they have no evidence that she aided and abetted CL.

Hudson did add that if new evidence comes to light and it turns out that she did aid and abet him, she'll be charged then -- just as OCSD had previously said similar things when questioned about her participation in the murder and aftermath.

They are confident enough in their investigation to make these statements about her lack of involvement, but, as in any criminal case, if new evidence is obtained that points to anyone previously not considered a suspect, the evidence itself will be what is important at a trial, not the fact that the person wasn't suspected or arrested before the evidence came to light.

Add to that the black eye NC took on the DUKE HOAX and the removal of DA NIFONG and the tragic suicide of Melinda Duckett over pressure about her missing child and it's plenty of reason to coddle Christina IMO.

They know she has put the *suicide* scare out there for them, so if she was involved and heard Cesar say he loved Maria and knows he is on the way back, it could be a reason to placate her right now.

If the need for is so great they must begin the grooming now, I am saddened.

I think I'll go with Ed Brown and say IT'S POSSIBLE....

I don't find it likely she is not involved, but just maybe she really is that clueless and in that case she should have the sympathy of the world.

Unfortunately, that's not the impression I get from reading about her and just the mere idea she wouldn't go straight to LE upon hearing from Cesar is concern enough for me to still keep a very close eye on her and wonder about her possible involvement.

JMO after reading and following this case for several months now.

Excellent point about the possible reason LE may be coddling Xtina right now! [/*]

Hi sherry, I should have clarified that we as a nation took a black eye on Melinda Duckett due to the idea she was interviewed on television just prior to her suicide and she was under enormous pressure.

I do believe those wounds are still fresh for everyone who deals with cases like this now.

AGAIN, JMO.:seeya:
