what a waste of money
ReplyDeleteBy the time the trials are all over she'd be eligible to be released with time served. Might as well just set her free now, justice? Tell me another one! She'd be 100 years old by the time she had her last trial of the 62, with postponements and government holidays and receiving healthcare the whole time. Just like a welfare check.
ReplyDeleteThe only witness against her is Charlie who himself has only implicated her as being responsible for 15 fires. This is going to result in the state having to drop some of the counts against her. At the most she will have 15 separate trials but that won't happen because the state would argue against that and would prevail.
ReplyDeleteNo one ever said justice is cheap nor should it be.
She should be required to pay for the trials.
ReplyDeleteStretch out the economics so the courts would rather not deal with you, just cost to much. Good public defender. Now come the motions...
ReplyDeleteThey can't have them all in one bunch because it would be too confusing for the jurors.
ReplyDeleteEven if they could take their shoes off, the most they could handle is 20 at a time.
Unbelievable...what a waste of resources and money..this must be a bad dream!!Handle the charges in one time around the court room and be done with this girl who is only a drain on society!! VA WHAT ARE YOU THINKING???? and she wants to put make up on and get to dress for success...is she kidding?
ReplyDeleteUnreal!!!! What is going on with our judicial system? This has to be a joke. Please tell me it is April's Fool! Just the cost of this alone is unreal! How very frustrating this is to read about. I tell you I am getting just sick of it.
ReplyDeleteIt's a sad day in America when one concerns themselves with the costs related to justice and the justice system.
ReplyDeleteI am without a doubt convinced she is 100% guilty and am as fiscally conservative as anyone can be but I do not feel cost should be considered when meting out justice.
1:07-Her attorneys Allan Zaleski and his son are not public defenders.
ReplyDeleteEach fire was the result of a crime committed by someone or more than one someone. It may be that one or more of the 62 arson fires was committed by someone not currently under indictment.
ReplyDeleteIt is the State's responsibility to prove beyond a reasonable doubt to a jury the ownership of each and every one of them.
If these were 62 cases of serial (not mass) murder or armed robbery or assault....
Va is a very rich state.They can afford it.
ReplyDeleteShe is still considered to be innocent until PROVEN to be guilty. Right?
ReplyDeleteOr, am I being old fashioned?
What bright judge decided this? I'm sure he won't be the one to sit through 62 trials.
ReplyDeleteshe's looking good.
ReplyDeleteThe 62 trials will take a looooong time to get heard, my guess is that she will then argue her right to a speedy trial was violated.
ReplyDeleteVirginia doesnt have tax dollars to waste for this.Maybe a different lawyer is used for each charge.

ReplyDeleteSounds like 62 paydays for her defense team.
The Commonwealth will try its best cases first and after a couple of convictions can drop the remainder, pending the likely appeals. If they have defense concurrence on the go slow speedy trial issues will be moot.
She'll be in the chow line in the pokey all the while.
If her fiance' has not yet been sentenced, he'll be state's witness in order to trim his sentence/s.
That means 62 trips WBOC and WMDT will make to Accomac Courthouse.How stupid is that?
ReplyDeleteWhat idiots decided this? She'll be in court the rest of her life.
