Have you ever taken the Amtrak from Austin to anywhere?

By the time you would show up and confront the guy this would be his reaction.

Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I’ll go over to the persons house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I’m gone, but you know what I’ve left on the porch? A jack-o-lantern with a knife stuck in the side of its head with a note that says “You.” After that I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.

[Mitch Cumsteen 18,913]

Update: I just drove by the house and there were about 6 pickup trucks outside, the front door was wide open, all the lights were on and there were law enforcement officers in the driveway. I’m no Barnaby Jones, but I’m assuming they were scouring the place for more evidence.

Did you walk in that door, say you were from the internet, and demand some answers?

[Hagbard Celine 11,157]

"In his original arrest warrant, it states that the Simpson’s youngest child told a school official, “that her mom and dad were "fighting." ...she told staff that her dad had hit her mom in the face and possibly pushed her into a wall. ...she told staff that her mom had a bruise on her elbow and that her dad had taken her mom's cell phone away.""

no need to read the rest of this or any other results from yesterday - journalism is dead

This could be in the "Great Enshittening" thread but there is a fake Gofund me page being circulated using photos from friends of Suzanne.

If you see a GF page purporting to be in support of Suzanne's kids etc it is a fake.

Do not donate.

Bexar County District Attorney Joe Gonzales plans to challenge a motion to change Brad Simpson’s bond conditions.

Simpson, who is facing a family violence charge, among others, is asking a Bexar County court to amend bond conditions so he can have contact with his children, his attorney said.

Thats some pretty ballsy shit. "Just because I beat and murdered their mother, doesn't mean I dont deserve to spend time with them."

No, he never actually left Austin, so the only monuments he visited were these.

Yeah. They’re probably not gonna let you talk to material witnesses you have parental control over, Sherlock.

Who do you want telling the kids their mom was murdered by their dad? The government? This election is about parents rights

nah.  There’s enough circumstantial evidence to convict the guy.

[AnTiM 1,684]

Who is this guy known as Sir Cum Stantial?

[Mitch Cumsteen 18,913]

I'm not putting it here, but her (I believe oldest) daughter just posted on Instagram that her mother was a victim of abuse and that her dad killed her in a state of rage. And that she intends to be a voice for domestic violence so that her mother's name is remembered. 

Fucked up situation and I feel terrible for those kids.

So if they try him without a body and don't get a conviction, they can't try him again if they find the body, like that Ashley Judd movie.  Is that right?

Yeah, it's kind of like "motive, means, and opportunity."  It's not something that's an element of the crime, precisely (you do have to prove that the defendant caused death), but it's something you may need to convince a jury that the murder actually happened.  What lawdogs call the burden of persuasion more than the burden of proof.

Oh, wow.  I dated a Suzanne Clark back in the day.  Not that one.  The one I dated got put in the federal pokey for embezzling money from Perot Systems a couple of years after we broke up.

If I'm on a murder trial jury, there's got to be a body to get a conviction. Or at least a pool of the victim's blood that's large enough to determine that they couldn't live after losing that much blood.

Which means you would never make it onto a murder trial jury where a body had not been found.

If they're smart enough to ask about that during jury selection, you're right.

Something like 80%+ conviction rate for no body cases nationwide fwiw
