Popular Post Trillium November 29, 2021 Popular Post Share November 29, 2021 Fuck off JB. JOSH DIDN’T COME TO YOU! Jill told you you son of a bitch. Fuck right off with pretending you don’t remember your children were molested. If he was protecting the girls he would say out of respect to their privacy he didn’t want to talk about it. Instead his arrogant ass face lies and makes Josh look like a 4 year old who confessed to playing doctor. Fuck all of them. 66 Link to comment

I wonder how the Duggars' would've reacted if a daughter was doing what Josh did to a son. Would they protect her? Probably not. Jill is a hero. No one should shun her. 1 3 36 Link to comment

merylinkid November 29, 2021 Share November 29, 2021 JB pissing of the judge is not going to help his son. How a judge rules in a case affects what the jury ultimately has as evidence to deliberate over. The judge can make some very unfavorable but valid rulings against Josh. He can also rule that JB has to testify and then let JB piss the jury off himself. Which will in turn want to convict his son. 6 15 Link to comment

Am I remember this incorrectly? That's what I remember. Josh supposedly molested his sisters while they slept and were unaware of it. He confessed after the first time, but then did it again and confessed to that, too. Since the girls were supposedly asleep, Jill couldn't have reported it. I think that Jill is the one who told JB and M after Josh molested the 5 year old in the living room while the other kids were around. She might've also witnessed the laundry room assault on another girl or heard about it from the victim and told the parents. In any event, it is very clear that JB is going to do his best not to cooperate on the stand. Let him try, I have a feeling the jury will see through it and realize that JB knows Josh is more than capable of downloading and watching CSA. 26 Link to comment

The defense can argue that the children were actors and it's all fake but that doesn't mean the jury will accept it. Just because you scream "fake news" doesn't mean it's not real. The defense puts out all sorts of crazy excuses hoping something sticks. I've never seen a jury buy that argument but to be fair, I've not seen that argument much in federal court. I’m not familiar with the material JD is charged with possessing, obtaining, etc. but are you saying that the children depicted were not real children? Or that they were not abused?

Popular Post Churchhoney November 30, 2021 Popular Post Share November 30, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, wait.what said: I keep getting flashbacks to Casey Anthony. Despite everything, she walked… could his defense pull it off? There are many many kinds of criminal cases. But when you compare them, just as in any other realm of life, you'll get more sensible answers if you try to compare things that have some similarities. Casey Anthony's was a case involving a wildly different crime and a wildly different kind of crime. With evidence of many kinds, with very little that was straightfforward to prove. Like many if not all murders, there were many many unique things about that case. Many things depended on humans testifying to things that were not at all cut-and-dried. And that's always a source of doubt for the juries. By contrast, Josh's is quite a generic case. These particular prosecutors and LE folks, and the judge, have won numerous guilty pleas and convictions in virtually identical-to-this cases over the past few years. They've been through this exact process, using literally the exact same investigatory tools, many times. So have DOJ offices around the country, because the case is part of national program of prosecuting people for these exact crimes. LE and federal prosecutors know how to prosecute this particular kind of case. Unlike Casey Anthony's case, Josh's is a case that has many factual and technical pieces of evidence. I've been on a lot of juries and I know for a fact that such pieces of evidence are not where juries' main doubts come from. That kind of exhibit has an explanation, there's a lot that's black and white about it, much of it is clearly not subjective. Each juror can look at it and examine it again and again. Those exhibits will be in the jury room. So no matter what anybody says, that kind of evidence raises fewer questions for jurors than the multiple kinds of evidence they had in the Anthony trial, and definitely raises fewer questions than human witnesses do. And while they're talking with potential human witnesses now, it's not at all clear that they'll call many of them during the actual trial. This trial really isn't going to proceed like the Anthony trial in almost any way. So is something like Anthony a good comparison for this trial? Or are the many trials this court has conducted on identical charges to Josh's charges a better comparison? Seems to me that's pretty obvious. Comparing two things that are very much alike is probably going to give you a better idea of likely outcomes than comparing things that are extremely dissimilar. of course, anything is "possible." Most anything we can think of in the whole world is "possible." But does that mean everything is equally likely? Of course not. What's likeliest here is that this case will proceed more like the numerous other cases with the exact same procedures and kinds of evidence and government teams that have already happened in this very court. And that it'll proceed less like the Casey Anthony, which which is very very very different from it. So....Yeah, of course it's possible that he'll get the Casey Anthony result. Because just about anything is at least remotely possible. But it's way way way way more likely that he'll get the result more similar to those the other guys that came to this court in the past few years facing the exact same charges got.....Guilty. With about five to seven and a half years of prison time It's a terrible waste of mental energy to worry much about things that reason tells us are only remotely "possible," I think. Because most of the time we're going to get the results that are "likely." Since nobody here seems to even know Josh Duggar, I think our mental health is much better served by remembering that for his case, history provides the odds -- and the odds are that he'll probably end with a moderate prison sentence. And if the remote possibility does come true, well, there's plenty of time to fret about it then......Our worrying about that right now isn't going to help a damn thing.

In any of the three cases -- disturbing. Is that just me? ETA: I don't think this story'll really be great for JB's career (of course, we know now he apparently has a huge nest egg, so maybe that doesn't matter, but still....).....Do you really wanna buy a used car or a flipped house from this guy? Do you think you can trust a word he says about a crack in the chassis....or about the septic tank? As the judge correctly noted, JB is in a very difficult position here. If he repeats the details of Josh's confession in court, the chances of Josh being found guilty - with all of the potential impacts to JB's reputation and ambitions - increase. If he tries to claim that Josh never admitted to any of this, the prosecution can easily impeach him with the Megyn Kelly interview, and potentially bring up perjury charges - with all of the potential impacts to JB's reputation and ambitions. If he tries to say he doesn't remember - well, as we're seeing, he runs the risk of looking as if he's either lying, or that he doesn't care that four of his daughters were molested - with all the potential risks to his reputation and ambitions. I can't think of any approach that would have allowed him to squirm out untouched. My sympathy is limited. I do agree that that the Duggar family incomes are going to take at least a temporary hit from this, regardless of the outcome - not just from the legal fees, but from the very real tendency of people to avoid spending money at places/people associated with extremely notorious crimes. # 20 minutes ago, woodscommaelle said: He probably goes by Ye. 😉 I don’t know who he is though.

Josh has a Fifth Amendment right against self-discrimination, and he's not trying to plead self-defense, so he doesn't have to take the stand. My guess is that his lawyers have advised him not to. As far as I know, his sisters haven't been called as witnesses, so I don't think they are going to testify in this case. But, they may be testifying in the case that starts right after this one, and which will be presided over by the same judge, since that's their civil lawsuit. I am braced for tabloids to confuse the two trials - it's a fairly easy mistake to make, I think. 8 6 Link to comment

Oh and there’s this gem from JB in the article too: "We tried to handle things in house," he said, continuing, "It was a very difficult time in our family's life." He did not elaborate further in his testimony. Josh, he insisted, "had crossed some line right at that age of curiosity, at 14, your hormones are kicking in." MOST TEENAGERS DO NOT MOLEST PEOPLE!

And of course the Holts connived with JB and Michelle to keep a lid on Josh's CRIMINAL conduct. To be precise, since Josh was a juvenile at the time (aged 14 or 15, IIRC), his commission of acts which would be crimes if committed by an adult and would subject Josh to a juvenile delinquency case at the time if reported. They were not victimless crimes; tiny little girls were assaulted. At least one of them was aware what was happening and even fought back. So, fuck 'em all, IMO: the Duggars parents, Mr. and Mrs. Holt, and Mr. and Mrs. Keller. They knew and connived to keep it "in the family" of their church circles. And a huge tip of the hat to InTouch for blowing open the story when they did. If they hadn't? This case would be going through the courts with the Duggars and Kellers and Holts and other elders of the Duggars' church(es), sitting on the secrets. 49 Link to comment
