This is, by far, the worst case I have ever followed, due to decisions from the bench. Â I'm still wondering how on earth her lawyers managed to get her into the 'Omnibus' coming up.

Sorry for all the questions, but we have days to go before Monday morning and I figure its a good time to ask questions that are bothering me.
Welcome Justice!
I wish I could remember where I read this but what I did read was that Arias does not qualify for this Omnibus coming up. She IS the only convicted person in this group. She has been allowed to joinf for now but it is the thought that the judge in charge will throw her out because of her conviction.
Observer....
I understand your feelings about McGee and they could very well be true.
McGee met his wife on-line and after talking with her parents, the Bishop said she could stay with him when she travelled to California as there was no one else staying there at the time.
I assume she was a Mormon girl who was coming to marry a Mormon man, that being McGee.
So I am also assuming that although he was not a good and devout Mormon, he was still a member of the church. Why else would the Bishop be involved at all? And was their wedding not being held in the Mormon Church?
That is exactly why I felt that the Mormon Church should sanction him severely if not even kicking him out.
My concern is for his wife and where it would put her if she is married to a non-Mormon?
Justice.....
I agree that Arias wanted all the "trappings" that would come to her by marrying Travis.
She thought she had it with Darryl but in the end, he did not want to get married either AND obviously in financial trouble. So she moved on to Travis.
I still think that her only motive for seeing Abe and getting him involved was not just to make Travis jealous but also maybe to speculate as to whether Abe was worth having in the wings and maybe giving her what she wanted in life.
