To be fair, I don’t think Chris has ever shown attraction to boys. Having sex with Barb was sort of the opposite of what NAMBLA stands for.
NAMBLA doesn't even really exist anymore. After the gay community realized they had to throw NAMBLA under the bus to be accepted, it was progressively dismantled until the newsletter basically had no subscribers.
The LGBT community likes to pretend that NAMBLA wasn't a core component of their movement in the 70s and 80's, that NAMBLA was the founding member of ILGA (which became the consultative representative of LGBT issues in the United Nations, until people noticed that it was started by NAMBLA). Boy diddlers were the vanguard.
I have no problem with faggots, but they have a lot of revisionist history now that they're considered acceptable.
They can't give anymore continuances, in simple terms they can't postpone the hearings anymore. He's been indicted for incest. By this point, unless information or his indictment changed, all of the hearing dates are set and done.
Sure they can. Now that it's in a new court there's tons of reasons it could happen. Fewer, since a lot of it got hashed out in J&DR, but unless the defense wants to pull the trigger now, they're no rule against it if they have a valid reason.
That's provided he keeps writing the letters. He's repeatedly been getting mad at Kengle and Chris could simply choose to cut contact with everyone, deeming them 'unworthy' of communing with him.
Chris can't live without attention. He won't truly disappear until he's dead or permanently hospitalized.
Please please please read what people like AnOminous and Pointless Sperg post. They are extremely knowledgeable.
Speaking for myself, I'm just a retard with an education and experience working with courts in a completely different jurisdiction. I intentionally don't PL about the exact details, but it's not like I'm particularly knowledgeable in Virginia law. I'm learning just as much as anyone else. Please don't take me as an authority on the particulars of Chris' legal issues, only as someone who knows how to do the research.
I have to make these disclaimers as misrepresenting myself would be an ethics violation and potentially get me in trouble.
After a true bill is returned, the state has
nine months to bring a felony to trial (with a bunch of exceptions), but again, the defendant can usually waive this either explicitly or by filing delaying motions so that the delay is his own fault. You don't get to throw a monkey wrench in the case and then claim you were denied a speedy trial.
Five months if incarcerated, and it's from the prelim hearing in J&DR, not the true bill. Based on what we know from the document filings, this happened long ago. But, as you say, we can assume that pretty much all the time in between has been covered by the exceptions, so it's basically irrelevant.
From digging I did though, there are in fact people who've gotten out of a rape conviction by stalling until the prosecution was extremely busy with another case, and then strategically stopped stalling to start the clock ticking again, and by the time the prosecutor noticed it was too late.
It's a very nominal sum, something like $500 for a felony in district court. Typically those just plead out so it really isn't a huge cost to the lawyer providing the PD work.
That's the base fee that they get automatically. For longer cases they get paid for their time, but a judge has to approve it -- and they usually do. It's still low pay for an attorney, but it's not just a flat fee.
People who rape child and people who rape adults go to separate prisons. You're looking at (once again) a federal charge versus a state charge.
It's almost always a state charge. The federal government gets involved when crossing state lines (and they don't always get involved, even then), or it happens on federal land/maritime territory.
They don't have separate prisons for chomos, just separate areas in the prison.
The grand jury proceedings are kept completely secret so there is no way anyone would be able to access that information. I'm not sure what the situation will be for any future proceedings but it's common for trials involving sex offenses to be closed to the public, especially if it involves any witnesses or victims.
The trial (if it happens) will almost certainly be open.
Any hearings involving the admissibility of evidence related to sexual acts will be closed. The theory behind this is that if evidence is deemed inadmissible, then the public doesn't need to see it.
When the (admissible) evidence is presented at trial, the public generally gets to see it, though graphic evidence of certain nature will often not be shown to the public, and only to the jury, and the public just gets a description of what the evidence was.
For instance in CP trials they don't show the CP to the public, it's just shown to the jury and the public just gets an explanation of what it is.
Apparently, there's a letter from Heilberg. The impression that I got and some thought that he was going to be removed or he removed himself from Chris' defense because Chris failed learning about how to understand how to act in the courtroom. Basically, with Heilberg's plan in getting Western to get Chris to act right failed and him returning to jail, like Bob, Heilberg threw his hands up and said "fuck this."
It's just a letter. We don't know what it is. It could be as you describe, but it could just as easily be something else.
