One of the bigger topics in today's hearing was, where are they going to house Thomas Leggs, suspect charged with the murder of 11 year old Sarah Foxwell.
The Cecil County Court/Jail is under construction and they cannot guarantee they can keep Leggs in Solitary confinement.
Leggs, who has been housed in Wicomico County will not be returning, as of today. There was talk today about sending Leggs to Anne Arundel County.
Wicomico County has budgeted $100,000.00 for this case and quite frankly, transporting Leggs back and forth from Anne Arundel County to Elkton will tap into those funds quite a bit.
Leggs attorney was complaining today that they still had yet to receive "discovery" from the Wicomico County States Attorney's Office but Ruark countered stating they would have that information in two weeks.
Many were amazed our earlier information had already made it onto the Internet. Unfortunately, most of the Foxwell Family did not make it to today's hearing. Sarah's Aunt, Tracey Powell was the only Family member to attend.
Mind you, this was not a "big show" and I can personally understand the Family not wanting to add any additional stress at this point in the trial proceedings. It will be difficult enough to sit through this case when it really takes off. In fact, (personally) I don't even know if I could handle what's about to be exposed in this case if I were Sarah's Uncle.
Legg's attorneys can complain all they want but they will not find one, single sympathetic ear - not even from the bench.
ReplyDeleteIs there anyone at all out there who knows this retired judge? Does he have any kind of reputation such as "tough", "soft", etc? I would be curious as to the reaction of both side of this trial as to his selection. I knew the defense was terrified about Judge Simpson - he doesn't mess around and would have no problem applying the death penalty. Hope this replacement judge is no softy.
People, I would like to remind you of one other thing for all of you who are anguishing over this monster. Regardless of what happens in this trial in April , Leggs is going to have to face another "Judge" at some point in his future and I would not want to be Leggs when that happens. So rest assured that the ultimate justice will be administered by His holy and righteous hand and it ain't going to be pretty. Death penalty on earth? nothing compared to what waits for him after he dies. I hope someone reminds Leggs of that everyday.
Of course Tracey showed up, she has been the one constant thing in Sarah's life.
ReplyDeleteI don't think they should keep him in solitary confinement anyway.
ReplyDelete1:48 I agree with you 100%!!
ReplyDeleteJust asking they eveyone prays for this family.... I am sure it will be very difficult for them to have to see the "monster's face" and have to listen to what he did to Sarah!
