One thing that has always bothered me...

The boy said he did NOT see anybody LEAVING the house.

Here's some possibilities why:

1) boy is blocked by obsticles as he's coming home, perhaps he's on another street and only sees "truck through so & so's trees" must be walking past houses, cars, trees, etc. that are blocking his view.

2) boy sees TR getting shot doesn't realize what he is seeing because the shooter is hiding at column/ bush doesn't understand why TR is disappearing toward the ground or doesn't see it because truck or other things are blocking his view.

3) shooter leaves the house by some other means perhaps the back door OR through other window, over the balcony, etc.

4) the shooter ducks somewhere in the house to hide from boy as the boy checks out the house, calling for dad and finds dad, cries for dad then runs away. After boy leaves, Shooter leaves and runs toward the back of house or other location where the driver is awaiting him.
They heard the boy calling and coming tell each other to meet at the back of the house & down the street or other location so boy doesn't see them both. They don't expect the boy to notice the vehicle.

5) boy blocks out what he witnessed

I've not been able to keep up on all of the goings on in this case.

Is that little boy still in jail?

Do they still think he killed two grown men?

Any convincing evidence that he could/would have done it?

I don't know anything about his mother, would she be ok to take care of him?

I guess that's the most important stuff, thanks in advance.

jd, (no spitting please), et al, roflmao

i've not been able to keep up on all of the goings on in this case.

Is that little boy still in jail?yes

do they still think he killed two grown men? it has been so quiet. The state appealed the court judges decision to not rule on substantive issues before competency is established. They won, in part. Forcing the judge to rule on motion to dismiss count 1
any convincing evidence that he could/would have done it? nothing in evidence yet. Not even if the boys gun was the murder weapon. They have until the 30th.

i don't know anything about his mother, would she be ok to take care of him? gardian ad litem involved. His mother now has custody of him.

i guess that's the most important stuff, thanks in advance

From your post above

The way I read it, it doesn't really force the judge to rule. He can still rule as he did. The way I read the sc's decision, I think it means he is not precluded from ruling because there is a competency issue, but doesn't necessarily mean he has to rule. The judge can still wait if he so chooses, imo.

I will be the first to say, I do not exactly understand what the Court was really trying to say but it seems they only gave a partial ruling due to the fact that no appealable error had occurred yet.

Ruling on a motion to dismiss after he decides the competency issues seems to be odd and backward. If he ruled that the boy is age incompetent then how could he then rule on the motion to dismiss? And I think all motions have to have a ruling one way or the other by Judges. They are valid issues that have to be addressed and it just makes sense that it happens before he finalizes the issue on competency because if he deems him age incompetent and cannot be reassessed in 240 days then the case is dead from that point on.

It also made me think that the Court thought that JR was applying the rules used for an adult court competency issue and not one that is trying to determine age competency in a juvenile.

Just my interpretation though.

good morning it is -11 here and cold!
dear eryn:
god doesn't give you the people you want, he gives you the people you need. to help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and make you into the person you were meant to be. dear god help her son to excel above his expectations. help him shine in the darkest places where it is impossible to love. protect him at all times, lift him up when he needs you the most, and let him know when he walks with you. let him always be safe. god bless!That was a really sweet thing for you to say. I keep praying for the little boy everyday, it's hard to imagine a small child of that age being locked up and isloated it really bothers me, there is no excuse for it at all, they did it within 24 hours made up there mind without properly investigating, which is unreal and inhumane to say the least to do that to anyone let alone a small child. I read childsvoice website today, I bet his Mom could use some help financially.

Those are excellent questions. Why didn't the officers during their hour long coerced interrorgation as those questions rather than leading him down the path of confessing? These are questions that I hope the defense asks the officers involved during the trial (if there is one), and pursue those questions with a vengence.

Questions should also be asked concerning LE "investigation" regarding searching the mobile home in the back yard, the dead bolt lock issue, and searching on the balcony for any trace evidence (i.e. hair and fiber). LE should be nailed to the wall on those types of neglegent investigation.
They didn't want the facts of the matter, they wanted a "confession". Of course they did help CR's case. They treated him like the baby that he is.

LE and the illegal search warrant keeps popping in my head for some reason. LOL

If he ruled about the incompetence in favor to the boy, there is no need to rule on the motion to dismiss because it doesn't make sense. If he ruled about the incompetence in favor to DA he must try to make him competent during the next 240 days, imo useless. If If he ruled on the motion to dismiss one charge before he ruled about the competence to stand trial, he produced a loophole for the DA and that is unfair !

I hope you're right! If the judge surprises us and rules in favor of Carlyon, do you think Brewer could appeal that or challenge it in some way?

Did you follow the King case back 6 or 7 years ago? That judge just seemed to go along with the prosecutor on everything. That worries me. In the end, though, the prosecutor went too far and the verdict was thrown out.

yeah i was at the my space page and i hope she gets some help financially,too. i really don't have the extra cash to send her because we are paying our bills and trying to save for summer vacation. although my son, who is 9 years old wants to send this little boy a few extra dollars to buy ice cream when he gets out and you know i will let him send it and the thought of that about makes me wanna cry. i just thought that was the sweetest gesture i've heard in a while. i totally agree with you the thought of the little boy still being isolated makes me sick to my stomach. i hope this is the week we hear good solid news of that little boy going home to be with his mother for good! its been waaaaaaay to long for him to be there and its over time for the judge to get off his butt and do some good for that llittle boy and his family.You have a nice little boy there he is thinking of doing something nice for someone else that needs it, it really made me a bit choked up myself to think a little boy same age wants to help this little boy too.

I 100% agree this has gone on too long for that small child, it's hard to understand it, I just simply don't, he's not going to be competent he's 9years old, anyone in there right mind knows that.

The right thing would of been the Ankle Bracelet/Monitor the Child while they properly investigated, I don't even want the Ankle Braclet but you know to follow the law they could of done that. Let's hope we hear some good news soon for this little boy.

So if Carlyon wins, the state can bring charges whenever it wants? What are the chances that charge could eventually be heard in adult court? I wonder if Carlyon is trying to get Brewer to agree to a plea deal this week.

Yes, if Roca rules in Carlyon's favor Carlyon could refile the charges at any point. Carylon's intent appears to be to wait until the boy could reasonably be found competent and automatically charged as an adult, which in Arizona is at the age of 15.

Carlyon probably is pushing for the plea deal because his case in general is weak (if not non-existent) and a gamble. However, the plea deal is not really a deal. He did not guarantee the boy would remain in the juvenile court system. He stated that he would decide that based on the results of the competency hearing. If the boy takes the deal and is found incompetent to stand trial, he could be placed in prison until 18 instead of released because he accepted the deal.

It would not legally matter if Vincent was dead, alive, or comatose, Tiffany has NO RIGHTS regarding this child. Period. Ever. She can not legally get him medical care, make educational decisions, NOR can she make legal decisions regarding his care, custody or control.

Any of us can be charged with child abuse or endangerment at any time for any child and it does not matter if you are legally responsible for that child or have any legal rights regarding that child, if you act in a negligent or abusive manner regarding the health safety or well being of ANY child, your own, your spouses, your neighbors, a friends child, then you can and should be charged with the crime you have committed. Arizona law is actually very clear on this in that EVERYONE is a mandatory reporter of child abuse which includes child endangerment.

imo

The issue of evidence is for the jury/bench trial judge to decide, so it is not likely a motion to dismiss based on evidence would be granted. It also makes no sense to file a motion to dismiss if the boy can be found incompetent. If the judge denies the motion, I do not think it can be filed again, at least not without something new being added. Also, given that the judge has refused to rule on any substantive matter, if the motion were submitted, the judge would sit on it. Therefore, it is better to wait.

Reread my post. My points were:
1-there are many .22 caliber long rifle bullets available.

Couldn't anybody have access to these type bullets?

2-two references to the boy's gun.
No bullistics report yet. Seems to me to have been a rush to judgement that the boy's rifle was in fact the murder weapon. No proof provided to suspect that particular rifle, aside from it being in the house.

Sorry you're so bored. Just skip over my posts, please.

I find it interesting that he blames that first elementary school loss on the fact that the jury disliked the boy and therefore found him guilty. Maybe that's the lesson he took from that first make believe attorney job - get enough dirt out there to make sure the person you're fighting is not well-liked and/or believed and therefore much easier to beat

If the forensics are back and do not point to the boy, I wonder if Carlyon will attempt to find out who, if anyone, they point to, or if he will just leave the case unsolved with suspicion still surrounding the boy?

I worry about that. I hope there can be some resolution for this child.

What I am equally concerned about is that just that in the hour or so with the police, whom the boy trusted to tell him the truth and who lied to the boy saying that TR told someone on the phone and that they had a witness...I worried that the boy may actually believe he did commit the murders. I'm worried that the police implanted a false memory which can so easily happen under these circumstances. It really doesn't take much. If the boy had blocked out anything he may have witnessed and had any memory loss of that time period and if he tried to understand what happened he may have just accepted what the police was telling him.

I really hope this did not occur. It would be just as tragic to let this poor kid think he did it.

Mind you...I do NOT have any reason to believe he is actually thinking this. This is just a concern of my own. :ohmy:

Interesting. Once you get through all the legal-speak, the ruling essentially states that it does not matter if a child can understand the idea of a trial, court, judge or lawyer, but that a child must be able to actively participate in the proceedings. If the child cannot, he is to be found incompetent. This makes me all the more interested in what the state's expert will say and how he will defend finding the boy competent or incompetent, but restorable (I assume that is what the state's expert will submit).

I have witnessed that. One of my foster brothers plead guilty to a crime he did not commit, served the time, attended the treatment and had to register until he was 18. When the girl he claimed he hurt recanted two years ago, he refused to acknowledge it. He had always been a risk to himself and attempted suicide several times. This did not help and while he was in the hospital he hung himself. The way he would talk about himself was disturbing. He absolutely believed he did it even when what he was accused of doing would have left scars on the girl and she had none.

I was rereading Hogle's report and this hit me:
"There are many .22 caliber long rifle bullets available. Many of these do not have the velocity to break the speed of sound (1129 ft/s) and if this were the case with the bullets fired from the suspect firearm it would not produce the air piercing crade that faster bullets would, further quieting the report and decreasing the distance the shots could be heard from. I am unsure of the type and grain of bullets fired from the rifle to know for a surety if this were the case in this instance, but could be a possible reason why more of the shots fired during the Romero! Romans homicide were not heard"

1-there are many .22 caliber long rifle bullets available.

Couldn't anybody have access to these type bullets?

2-two references to the boy's gun.
No ballistics report yet. Seems to me to have been a rush to judgment that the boy's rifle was in fact the murder weapon. No proof provided to suspect that particular rifle, aside from it being in the house.

Yes, anyone can buy.22 bullets. What they will look at though, is to see if the bullet casings found, have the same strike location on each of them from the firing pin of the suspected murder weapon where it hits the casing when fired each time.

They will fire a live .22 bullet or bullets, from the suspected gun in order to get the strike pattern to compare them to the spent casings found at the scene.

I am not sure if the ballistic test is back or not. They may be but it seems the court is awfully quiet on both sides, except for the ongoing issue on the dismissal on count one and the competency hearing.

NAPA sells work clothes and safety gear, in addition to car and truck parts. It may be the only place in St. Johns to get that sort of thing, I don't know.

Don't men usually like to buy that kind of stuff for themselves? My ex-husband (construction worker) and all his construction worker friends always liked to pick out and order their own because of fit, comfort, color, work requirements, ect. ?

Of course, it wouldn't be too unusual for a wife to buy her hubby's things.

Question: (you may have already answered)

What was Tiff buying at the grocery store?
I thought I read a post that the first time she was buying donuts for work the next day. Is this correct/fact?
If so, why would she be buying donuts in the p.m. of one day for the a.m. the next day to take to work? Isn't the whole reason of taking donuts to work is to impress the co-workers & boss? and to just make a good gesture? Who buys donuts in the p.m. to take to work the next day when they know they are going to be stale by the next day?
Also, didn't she work at a physical therapist office? My PT hates it when the co-workers bring in junk food because they are all exercise junkies and they talk about how many workout exercises they'll have to do.

Did she make a second trip to get spagetti for dinner?

If I'm wrong on these facts, let me know. I've got too many docs to sort through.

If that's your only reason to think he's guilty......do a quick google search of Marty Tankleff and spend a little time reading his story. Charged at 17 for his parents murder, the police chose him right off the bat as their prime suspect when he showed little emotion at the murder scene. Unfortunatley for him, he served 17 years before police admitted they were mistaken.

I've been arguing for three months that the firing pin/casing comparisons is the simplest lab work needed and could have been done in less than an hour. You may need a state certified lab tech to verify it but anyone with a soft jawed vise and a microscope can look for a match. It isn't complicated unless the marks are extremely close.
Had they done those tests early on (a day or so after the murders) both prosecution and defence could have planned their strategies better.

I hope so. If the evidence goes against the boy I suppose Mr. Carlyon would want the world to know. It would put more pressure on Judge Roca for the 6 Feb. competency hearing.
But, of course, it'd have the opposite effect if the evidence is exculpatory. If that's the case Mr. Carlyon might not release it.
Maybe Mr. Brewer will bring it up Thursday and force the issue then, like you say, it'll be a matter of public record and included in the transcript.

I sure wish I knew more about guns but since i hate them, i have very limited knowledge and count on others to help me out

If this Chipmunk (kid gun) was the one used in the murders .. it only loads one shell at a time right?

So after CR fired the first shot .. in the time it took him to reload for the second shot .. a grown man would have been able to confront him, try to get the gun away .. etc ..

And that man being his father would have super scared the boy so his hands would have been so shaky and almost no control there

Please explain how he was able to keep shooting, reloading, shooting, reloading .. a little boy of eight barely standing 4 foot tall against grown men of 5'7 - 5'9, 180 - 200 at least pounds?


I stand 5'4, weigh 100 lbs soaking wet and still can take my eight year old grandson in a play wrestling match and he is 4'10" and weighs 85 pounds (Close match though .. he is tough!)

The following day the boy was still talking about his dad in the PRESENT TENSE amongst everything else he was talking about was in the past tense.

Psychology is much more complex than what the boy may have been exhibiting just hours after a traumatic event.

I agree. After all, Carlyon released an incomplete ballistics report.

But if the ballistics report showed that either the Chipmunk wasn't used in the murders, or that more than one gun was used and Mr. Brewer knows the information, would he not make a 'Motion to Dismiss'?

The following day the boy was still talking about his dad in the PRESENT TENSE amongst everything else he was talking about was in the past tense.

Psychology is much more complex than what the boy may have been exhibiting just hours after a traumatic event.

Google Post "Traumatic Stress Disorder/Syndrome".

Google "Symptoms of Shock in victims of traumatic crime".

When the most wonderful old man in my world died, my great and beloved Great Grandfather the most special man in my life, and my mother sat me and my brothers down in the living room and made the announcement, I looked around the room and noticed that the sun was shining brillantly on a wonderful and lovely warm Sunday morning.

I smiled. My mother was shocked and hurtfully asked "Why are you smiling?!"

then, trying to show stength among my fellow family members who were very much destraught, LATER and when I was ALONE...
I cried and grieved.

and I have held him dearly in my heart and in my memory ever since.

I was 9 years old.
I still remember ...


I was 11 when my dad walked in the room, sat all five of us down and said our Mom had died

No idea it was coming (she had a heart attack)

I asked if i could still go to the movies and my brother who was 5 said OK .. can i back and play now

I will never forget it ... my older sister cried and other than that i have lost memory

Kids are not adults with adult emotions

:sad:

(My dad said no to my movie and yes to my brother going to play)

I do remember being very upset about that .. but I did not shoot him

Technically, it would not exonerate the boy. Scott Peterson is sitting on death row with no physical evidence tying him to the crime. Brewer could write the motion, but deciding on the veracity of evidence is the job of the jury/ bench trial judge, so it would be denied.

Don't you guys think that Judge Roca will just deny the motion to dismiss one of the murder charges? Also, if Brewer hasn't been given the rest of the evidence yet...then he might make his motion to dismiss after he gets it, if the ballistics don't match what else would they have? I personally wouldn't be satisfied to have him ruled imcompetent if there is no evidence to prove he did it.

the thing I was trying to point out is that the ballistics report wasn't back yet when they arrested the boy. Those shell casings could have come from anywhere. The bullets could have come from anyone. They had no proof the boy did anything. All they had at the time they arrested him was a coerced confession.

I am not sure that JR just took the confession only. I think the time line is just as damning or more so. Maybe JR thought there was probable cause to arrest him because JR thought there was no time for anyone else to do this but him.

Was the confession played in the probable cause hearing? I have forgotten.

Very good point JusticeDawg. The boy probably didn't show any emotion at that time because he has to have time to process what happened to his dad. He did cry when Tiffany came home and went to her for comfort.

That is the one thing that surprises me about this case

She did the spankings, right?

So the "count" would be against her?

Did he really hate her?

Or in time of pain .. was she still a comfort?

A bit confused on that

Legally, it does not matter. They just need to be able to reasonably suggest the boy committed the act and then present circumstantial evidence supporting that claim. The gunpowder residue and the print on the box of bullets is sufficient, although very weak. The judge could and probably would dismiss the case with that kind of weak evidence. In fact, if this were an adult case and the state agreed to throw out the confession, most judges would have dismissed the case by now.

Brewer did complain about the release of information at the last hearing, specifically information being released to the public (I assume the partial ballistics report) before being sent to the attorneys.

I was talking about if he has yet to receive certain discovery he will be screaming it to the roof top in the hearing. It may give us a glimpse of what he doesn't have and what he has received already imo.

I did notice in the Jan. 6th hearing the defense attorneys then weren't demanding discovery as much except they wanted the transcript on one of the officers that the DA had recently interviewed, iirc.

Brewer has not requested forensic evidence since the beginning of December. Carlyon stated that it would take until the end of January for the evidence to get back. Brewer has, however, requested the reports Carlyon included in his disclosures that were not given to him.

Who knows what his real "motive" was?

His biological mom just left, perhaps he simply wanted to go live with her and saw this as his only option?

Maybe Vince demanded she spank him? Maybe the constant arguments were over Vince's 'harsh" discipline?

Maybe this child felt angry and violated after being spanked by his step-mother and blamed his dad? Can you imagine if it was a bare bottom spanking how having Tiffany administer it could effect him? Some children can handle spankings and others become enraged by it.

How do you define remorse?

True remorse

Crying because caught?

or depressed because they really messed up and want to change it?

Does your child seem unable to function in everyday activity because the burden is more than they can bear?

Does he/she cry themself to sleep everynight?

Have they found God?

Define your child's remorse compared to the average adult's remorse and tell me what you see?

We are not talking stealing a cookie or shoplifting

We are talking cold blooded murder

He thought he was there to help find whoever killed his dad. Little boys don't cry in front of people. Have you ever watched a little league game where they get hit with the ball. They will go hide and bury their faces before they cry in front of somebody. That doesn't prove he did anything. We couldn't see his face, but there were several times when his voice is shaky and he is incredulous when they first accuse him. That whole bit about the cell phone conversation has never been substantiated. We don't know exactly what was said or how the conversation came about.

Juvenile detention aka juvie isn't a secret and many kids know about it. Many children have older siblings that fill them in on all sorts of things then armed with new info these kids go to school and inform other children.
It's a small town, he probably even knew where it was located.

To have remorse a person has to have a conscience. My son has come to me when consumed by guilt and told on himself or asked for advice on how to rectify something. He's lost sleep. Hasn't any of yours?

A typical child who had the insight to preplan and murder two men would not assume he was going to juvie

They certainly see enough TV

The boy attended Catholic studies and Catholic church.

He would have been taught that the dead go to a much better place, a place wonderful with streets of gold, Heaven to be with God, a protector and a wonderful being.

The boy did show grief. Several times.

The boy did display fear. Several times.

The adults around him were/are oblivious to it.

The boy was raised in a very strict, Catholic, household where he was one of three males with only one woman.

He was raised in a household with inappropriate developmental expectations for his age.
Examples:
1) left alone for hours, two days per week,
2) left alone with easy access to weapons
3) spanking for simple failure to bring home papers from school
4) grandmother's statements

He was raised in a househould of tough construction workers who, at least one, his own father, was an avid hunter.

How often did they cry?

What example did this child witness to the display of sadness and grief?

He was SURVIVING in a household of turmoil/ routine arguments and fights.

Not to mention what he may have witnessed from TR.
i.e. Talks between VR and TR about staying away from gang involvement, nights out at bar, etc.

One that is SURVIVING in a household learns survival techniques LONG before a tragedy occurs.

If the boy was used to excess discipline he, most likely, was emotionally "shut down" already.

Add the fighting between the step parent and the father.

Add the step mother's comment "What goes on in this house, stays in this house."

All equal to a boy's emotions being SQUASHED on a DAILY basis.

This boy has been TRAINED for a long time, seemingly his entire life, to SQUASH his emotions.

Why should this day be any different? He cried next to his father. He cried when he embraced Tiffany. He probably cried when he "was in the other room sleeping" at the neighbors house. Did he cry himself to sleep? He cuddled his grandmother all night.

Maybe it depends on demographics

Here in Ohio .. juvie is a term used for "stupid stuff" like talking back to the teacher or running off or talking back to parents

Kids on the playground here are terrified of jail if they do more than that

Why should this day be any different? He cried next to his father. He cried when he embraced Tiffany. He probably cried when he "was in the other room sleeping" at the neighbors house. Did he cry himself to sleep? He cuddled his grandmother all night.
One does not need to wale in order to grieve.

He was taught well. He did as he was taught.

"Good boy.":crying:



Excellent post. I think you have just summed up several posters thoughts, not only mine :thumbsup:

I would have been a wreak too. Odd how this boy was as cool as a cucumber until he realized he was heading off to juvie.

He also covered his head and didn't want anyone to see him. I think he was ashamed. He didn't want the detective in the room that got him to admit it in part...yet when alone with one other LE he didn't recant. After spending some time actually in juvie...he still didn't recant.

The time line puts him right there.

imo

I don't think we know if he has recanted. Perhaps he has to Wood/Brewer. Or to his family.
The time line puts him there though. Everyone knows he found the bodies. And then there was the 'interrogation'.

But probably the worst thing that happened against the boy was when Chief Melnick told the grandma that the boy had been charged. She became very upset and said "If any kid is capable of doing this it's (the boy). Grandpa agreed.
Of course she also said that she knew something like this would happen because "They were too hard on ..(the boy). I think that was what Chief Melnick went on more than anything else, in addition to the 'confession'.
And later a CPS worker claimed that he asked her, "Don't you want to know why I did it?"

Juvie to kids is small time stuff

Running away, stealing a pack of gum etc...

Skipping school

Tell me one child under the age of 13, 14 maybe 15, that will say they are going to juvie for murder

I don't know any kids that are accused of murder.

I think he did as he was taught when he fired those last bullets into those men so "they wouldn't suffer" IMO he didn't stop firing until they stopped shaking. His words....not mine.

I wouldn't have left mine home alone at 8 and certainly not with access to all those weapons and ammo. I just don't see it as some sort of perfect storm. Two men are dead and I don't think they in any way deserved it. I see no evidence that shows me either one had it coming. This was not some sort of accident. This was deliberate, blaming the victims is way out of line. IMO

It is called the power of TV

Kids know what murder is

They know murder means jail/prison


But convos among kids and juvie does not include murder

That is my point

Not once did CR say he was going to jail

He was scared to death of going to juvie


Why didnt he ask if he was going to jail if he just murdered two people?

Not sure if I am making myself clear .. but that is a HUGE factor for me in his innocence

I'm sorry, but I think you are taking juvenile terminology, and slang, way too serious. The term is used on kids TV shows and movies every day.
Guess I'm missing the point, but what is the significance of the boy saying 'juvie' rather than jail. They are the same thing. Steel bars are steel bars. You could call it a resort but it's still jail.

EXACTLY. I don't think anyone was interviewed in such an intimidating way. In EVERY other situation LE went to them. Work, home, park, parking lot, etc...but not this boy. Recorded with three uniformed and armed police officers.

Grandpa, who I feel is his next of kin after Eryn, refused to let LE talk to the boy. He insisted on a psychologist, but they overstepped and interrogated the boy anyway.

In Cdr.James A. Womack, A50 report:

Mark Mercer tells him that he thinks TR's handguns were:

a 44 magnum cylinder pistol

a 40 caliber semi-automatic pistol (he thinks)

(Mark had previous law enforcement experience.)

BUT

Best Friend, DANA told Womack he thought:

a 357 magnum, "maybe"



Questions: (maybe stupid questions but humor me)

What type bullets would these use? any use .22 shells?

How many rounds?

Copper coated?


A friend of mine thinks the 357 mag could use .22 caliber with the capacity for six rounds in the revolver. Is this true?

I've looked it up on-line but its all garbalie goo to me.

Wonder if the police ever did a run on TR's gun ownership records?

If so, wonder which handguns he owned? Wonder if they found the other one? Wonder if someone else has it now?

A .357 magnum shoots either .38 or .357 centerfire cartridges. A revolver typically holds 6 rounds in it's cylinder. These guns are either single action (pull the hammer back) or double action (just squeeze the trigger.)
Neither of these pistols are compatible with (will shoot) .22s.

The pistol found in Mr. Romans truck is a .45 ACP semi-automatic, which also will not chamber (shoot) .22s.

Agree...but I believe he used that training to ensure the two men were dead.

If this goes to trial, I am certain Wood and Brewer will put on an expert to ask whether a person would convulse involuntarily from the shots Romans suffered. In fact, I would imagine that the attorneys would go down the line of what was stated in the interrogation and scrutinize every detail, most of which does not even match the crime scene.

As for the boy's reaction, what you stated is typically stated in child sex abuse cases. Defense attorneys will cite a child being animated, articulate, cheerful or unbothered as evidence for the child lying. They contend that it is not possible that a child might hide his pain or keep it to himself. Of course, everyone reacts differently to trauma... except when it is inconvenient to acknowledge that.

IMO...

The boy attended Catholic studies and Catholic church.

He would have been taught that the dead go to a much better place, a place wonderful with streets of gold, Heaven to be with God, a protector and a wonderful being.

The boy did show grief. Several times.

The boy did display fear. Several times.

The adults around him were/are oblivious to it.

The boy was raised in a very strict, Catholic, household where he was one of three males with only one woman.

He was raised in a household with inappropriate developmental expectations for his age.
Examples:
1) left alone for hours, two days per week,
2) left alone with easy access to weapons
3) spanking for simple failure to bring home papers from school
4) grandmother's statements

He was raised in a househould of tough construction workers who, at least one, his own father, was an avid hunter.

How often did they cry?

What example did this child witness to the display of sadness and grief?

He was SURVIVING in a household of turmoil/ routine arguments and fights.

Not to mention what he may have witnessed from TR.
i.e. Talks between VR and TR about staying away from gang involvement, nights out at bar, etc.

One that is SURVIVING in a household learns survival techniques LONG before a tragedy occurs.

If the boy was used to excess discipline he, most likely, was emotionally "shut down" already.

Add the fighting between the step parent and the father.

Add the step mother's comment "What goes on in this house, stays in this house."

All equal to a boy's emotions being SQUASHED on a DAILY basis.

This boy has been TRAINED for a long time, seemingly his entire life, to SQUASH his emotions.

Why should this day be any different? He cried next to his father. He cried when he embraced Tiffany. He probably cried when he "was in the other room sleeping" at the neighbors house. Did he cry himself to sleep? He cuddled his grandmother all night.

Reason I'm asking is could any of these types of pistols have been the one to produce the "copper coated" bullets found in the victims?

I know that .22 caliber bullets can be copper coated. Is that the same for all bullets for all guns?

I just found it coincedental that IF it was a .357 magnum revolver pistol which is possibly missing from the truck and IF TR had been carrying it...could the shooter have used it to shoot TR the six times which just so happens to be the number of rounds it would hold?

I know there were .22 casings all over the place. Is there any way to confuse the two types of casings or does it have the size stamped on the spent casings?

(Boy. You'd never know I was raised around hunters. I was the little kid and the girl. I was the little sister. I didn't get to tag along as much.)

Think of the circular dimension of the cartridge and gun. A .22 is .22 inches (almost a quarter of an inch, a bit smaller than a #2 lead pencil eraser). A .45 is .45 of an inch (almost a half inch in diameter). Bullets are also measured in weight using grains. A typical .22 is 40 grains while a .45 ACP might be 165 grains or bigger (or 4 times bigger than a .22 and maybe 8 times more powerful). There are pistol cartridges much more powerful than a .45 ACP, but that's what Mr. Romans had in his truck. It would never be confused with a .22.
.22 casing could not be confused with other casings. The closest rimfire cartridge in size is the .22 magnum and .17 HMR. But these are not interchangeable in rifles. The rifle must be designed to shoot only one of them (.22LR, .22 Magnum, or .17 HMR). .22 lead bullets have a thin coat on them to lessen distortion. Sometimes the coating is copper colored, often it is clear (lead colored).
Centerfire brass (casings have the caliber stamped on them around the primer (.38, .357, .40, .44, .45, etc).
.22 rimfire brass (casings) don't have a caliber stamping but do have a manufacturer's logo mark.

Mr. Romans wasn't shot with a .357.

I attended a Catholic school with manditory chapel (or whatever we called it...too long ago) on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday every week before classes begun.

I am Protestant but attended a Catholic school.

My point about the boy being raised and regularly attending a Catholic church is the teachings of the after life and how we are suppposed to rejoice and celebrate a death and mourn a birth. (Scripture. Don't ask me where. That answer would require a google.:laugh:)

It is only one factor among many as to why a person may not break down and act like a raging baboon to display mourning and grief.

If one has been taught and it engrained into a little mind all about the wonders of Heaven, God etc. then that is only one factor a person can draw from to help them in the grieving process.

"Dad's ok. He's in Heaven now." type of thing.

I doubt the boy was actually thinking this. But who knows. I'm only saying it is a possibility because of his constant religious training he would have been taught that death is not a finality and that his dad was in a better place. That may have been comforting to him? He may of held that thought process in the back of his head, unconsiously?

I think he was just "shut down". He did cry. He did show grief. Off and on.

When the police went to the neighbors, the neighbor said he was in the other room asleep. That was around 6 p.m. in the evening. (Which is another defense mechanism=sleeping at 6 p.m.)

How long was he supposed to cry for? He cried for what he considered a long time right next to his dad. He cried when he embraced Tiffany. Was he crying himself to sleep when the neighbor shut the door?

Sometimes a small kid, when surrounded by all the confusion and shock and horror, and loved ones breaking down, will try to remain calm not to add to the burden of the loved ones. Sirens going on, people coming and going, police everywhere intruding onto his home/his sanctuary, going to a neighbors house to rest while others are breaking down all around him.

Pure shock will leave one emotionless.

I know from personal experience that when I have faced life threatening situations and have had my moments to cry...It helps me to engross myself into a television program where I can escape. I just can't think about my woes any longer and need something to distract me.

This boy's demeanor does not prove guilt. It may have just been a small child trying to hold strong while everyone else around him was breaking down.

If he was raised in a very strict home he would have had training to keep it together. It's a defense mechanism.

Everything when every aspect of the shooting is taken into consideration. There is not a snowballs chance in um, in Miami FL on a hot summer day that the boy could possibly have committed both murders in the time line. Where was Tiffany between the time she bought Donuts & milk and the second trip to the store for "dinner"? Who else had access to a gun capable of shooting .22 LR bullets and an automatic instead of a single shot gun in the length of time of the "time line"? That's how he could have been duped.

The boy had ample time to do the deeds.

The boy did say, though, that grandpas gun was at his house.
Sgt. Rodriguez testified that they found no other .22 caliber guns during their search.
Where's the Mossberg. We've wondered that for awhile.

ChildsVOICE

Ok HAWK. Here's another question:

Mark Mercer told Womack:

"Saturday before wedding"
"VR was showing (him) his rifles"
he "handled THREE of VR's rifles that day"
"the weapons were in the living room in hard shelled cases."

I'm supposing all the rifleS could use varying caliber bullets, correct?

So, we cannot expect that ALL "three" would necessarily be .22 caliber? Correct?

Do you know which evidence report lists all three rifles confiscated or did they only take the Chipmunk?

The boy had ample time to do the deeds.

The boy did say, though, that grandpas gun was at his house.
Sgt. Rodriguez testified that they found no other .22 caliber guns during their search.
Where's the Mossberg. We've wondered that for awhile.

His parents put the fear of God in this child. He wouldn't have the GUTS, let alone in 11 minutes, to pull something like this off.
He went hunting with these men. He knew what they were capable of against his "little Chipmunk gun".

I'd like to know where the other guns are now.

Ok HAWK. Here's another question:

Mark Mercer told Womack:

"Saturday before wedding"
"VR was showing (him) his rifles"
he "handled THREE of VR's rifles that day"
"the weapons were in the living room in hard shelled cases."

According to Commander Avila Tiffany told her that Mr. Romero only owned three rifles (besides the Chipmunk). A 30-06, a 22-250, and a 7MM O8. These hunting rifle cartridges are huge compared to a .22. And again, the ammunition for these guns are not interchangeable.
To my knowledge LE only took the Chipmunk.

The little boy wouldn't be able to shoulder and shoot any of the large rifles.

So who owned the Mossberg .22 Plinkster?

Justice Dawg,

I know you all went over this but I think you were doing so when I first came on.

See the Mercer/Womack questions I asked Hawk a few posts up.

Mercer says that "VR was showing him his rifles" (Saturday before the wedding) and he "handled THREE of VRs rifles that day." "the weapons were in the living room in hard shelled cases".

I know your theory about the Mossberg being missing. I'm wondering where is is too.

Hate to ask a question I know has probably been asked a hundred times but:
I'm supposing the other rifle is the Chipmunk.

So is the third rifle listed on an evidence report?

Its been so long since I've read those over. I don't remember.

I'm just guessing it's grandpa's because the empty box was photographed in the house and the boy said Leroy has the same kind of gun as his, only bigger, and that it shoots the same bullets. And it's not a Chipmunk.

Do you all remember where I read or heard that there were usually 5 large guns kept/stored under the bed? Did CR say that in the interrogation or did I read it somewhere?

3-mentioned above
1-Chipmunk
1-Mossberg?

Plus, where did I read that one of them was Tiffany's gun/rifle?

I think it was one of the co-workers who had either shot, or handled, the rifles while visiting the home. He referred to it as Tiffanys.

I was just thinking about how Neckles said there was ammunition all over the floor upstairs.........just everywhere. Why would that be? Would there be any reason to drop bullets all over? Just wondering if there's any chance that the shooter actually spilled it all over in his/her hurry to find the right bullets. Just a thought.........

Good night all!

I'm almost positive it was the chipmunk he was referring to and he called it "a little pea shooter." I think it was the good friend - Dana?

I have a friend who does not think a gang would want to recruit TR because of his older age of 39 years UNLESS it was for the purpose of supplying drugs (IF TR has a history w/ that).
(Just my friend's opinion.)

My friend also thinks that IF TR had connections with any gang members then the crime could have even been committed because of a disrespect thing.

2nd SW return names the "case" of the Mossberg as being taken. The gun is missing.

In another report, a co-worker said Tiffany owned a .22.

Who knows where Grandpa's gun went.

Where is the 3rd evidence report? I thought it didn't go up yet? :confused:

Thanks. I was going by my notes and didn't write down the "wife's" part. Thanks, again.

Why would DANA call it the "wife's" "the little pea shooter"?

Isn't THAT the Chipmunk rifle?

Why would he call CRs Chipmunk rifle Tiffany's gun?

How much experience did Tiffany have with that gun? Is this the one the co-worker is ALSO calling Tiffany's .22 ?

The Chipmunk was VR's. Given to him when he was a boy.(as per Liz)
He gave it to CR on his 8th birthday (as per Liz)

I have no idea where Tiffany got a pea shooter. CR never mentions it.

I was asking where the third rifle (that Mark Mercer had handled from the living room) was listed at? I would expect they would have taken it into evidence. Did they?

They didn't take anything but the Chipmunk, and the Mossberg "case"

That is all I know. If they took more, I haven't seen it anywhere.

Someone I know was arrested for Tampering with evidence in a missing persons case. (No body)

They took his entire gun collection (15 guns), his car and his truck. (No evidence of Missing person found)

He was found guilty, and served 8 yrs, but he NEVER got his guns or car back. He did get his truck back.

Why SJPD did such a sloppy job is beyond me.

i think the gun shot reinactment will answer alot of questions

im curious as to how thats going to be done in terms of tiffany and nicole
being in the house. also bb awhile back asked for permission to visit the
mrder seen. its been contaminated so bad since they released the house back to tiffany. i read a statement somewhere right after the scene was
released to tifany that it was cleaned up. which i dont blame her for,not wanting to be in the house with all the blood and stuff. now bb wouldnt find anything even if he went to the sscene:w00t:
i think we all oughta go to tiffany house and tell her we want to look around.
luminol will indicate blood (and bleach) lol
nite all
