Tonya Craft Reunites with Ex-husband and Gets Joint Custody

December 8, 2010/in Uncategorized/by Eyes for Lies

I am so happy that Tonya Craft has regained joint custody of her children.  She so deserves it.  She was accused of molesting three children in Georgia, and the courtroom where the case was tried earlier this year was sharply divided.  Many people believed that kids don’t lie, but they can absolutely be persuaded to believe things or believe things are true if they hear them enough–especially if they are said by influential adults.  While I didn’t see the children speak, I did see Tonya tell her side of the story.  When I saw Tonya talk about the accusations before trial, I believed in her innocence, and thankfully a court found Tonya Craft not guilty.

It was must be very gratifying for Tonya to have her ex-husband, who original thought she molested their daughter, sit beside her  and speak out in support of her now.  It should give all the doubters that Tonya was dishonest some serious second thoughts!!

Thanks, Karon, for the link.

Susan Powell: One Year Later

December 7, 2010/in Uncategorized/by Eyes for Lies

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy

Susan Powell disappeared a year ago from her Utah home that she shared with her two young sons and husband Josh Powell.  Josh Powell told people last year that he took his young boys camping in sub-freezing temperatures at 12:30 a.m. during a snow storm, and when he returned, his wife was missing.  He didn’t report to work on Monday and said he got his days confused.

His story raises many people’s eyebrows.  Worse, Josh did not search for his wife.  Instead he moved out of the family home, left the state and went to live with his family.

Josh’s behavior was and still is loaded with red flags.

Do I believe Josh’s father’s hypothesis that Susan ran off with another guy– who also disappeared about the same time?  I absolutely do not.  It’s absurd.  To me, it was a cleverly crafted story to deflect from the person of interest in this case — Josh Powell. I think most people will see this.

By looking at Susan in her photos, you can see her bubbly personality.  It supports what her mom says when she tells us Susan was a social person and that she made friends easily.  When we look at Josh, however, I suspect he was more introverted than Susan, and had a lot more trouble making friends. Of the two, I would bet money, he was the child who had a troubled childhood. I wish the media would look into this more and do some reporting on it.    It would be illuminating.

Look at the sadness expressed in Josh’s face in the still photo the Today Show shows of him in the video at the 6:00 minute marker.

I saw this interesting article in the Salt Lake Tribune:  Feds Want Susan’s Journals.  What is interesting is their quote from Steve Powell, Josh’s father.  I think it is very telling.  From the Salt Lake Tribune, “Steve Powell said: ‘They asked for a copy and we have worked diligently to quickly create a complete copy. We have let them know their copy is ready, and are waiting to hear back.’

Why would he have to work at getting a copy??  Does that make sense to anyone?  It sure makes you wonder about the authenticity of these journals, doesn’t it?

You can read my original thoughts of Josh Powell here.

Thanks, Karon, for the story!

Clint Horvatt Sentenced to Life

December 3, 2010/in Uncategorized/by Eyes for Lies

Clint Horvatt, who enlisted the help of another man to kill his fiancee, and then claimed he was ambushed on the side of the road by a stranger in December of 2008 was found guilty in November.  He was sentenced to life. It only took the jurors an hour to come to their decision.

Horvatt’s fiancee, Summer Smith, was 36 when she was killed.  She left behind a little boy.   

For those of you who followed the case, I thought you’d like an update.  Many thanks to Val for sending this and keeping me updated!
______________
I somehow thought Clint confessed to this crime.  Does anyone remember that? I can’t seem to find that though.

Amanda Knox Appeal Underway

December 1, 2010/in Uncategorized/by Eyes for Lies

Amanda Knox’s appeal for freedom started in an Italian court last week. Knox and her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, were convicted in the murder of Meredith Kercher, an English student studying abroad in Italty.  Knox and Kercher were roommates.  Knox’s sentence was 26 years and Sollecito’s sentence was 25.  Both hope their appeals will bring freedom.

I’ve always felt Amanda knew more than she was telling, but that is all I know.  I don’t know that she was directly involved in the death of Meredith Kercher. She has spoken very little to the public on this case.

Amanda’s appeal is set to get underway on December 11.   Interestingly, if you notice Raffaele and Amanda seem to be sporting the same hair style.  Is this just coincidence?  Or is there more to this?  I find it rather freakish, whether it is coincidence or not!  If I was Amanda, I would have been mortified.

True Justice.org has an interesting photo of Amanda Knox in court during the murder trial where it appears she is flirting with Raffaele Sollecito. It’s eerie. Check it out here.   

Thanks, Sally, for the photo link.
