Josh Duggar's Trial Begins Today... GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS!

Jury has not reached a verdict and will continue deliberations tomorrow. Blah. Today’s my birthday and I was really hoping for a karmic gift from the freakshow I’ve been following for the past 15 years. ;)

Thanks for the update. A little worrisome it is taking so long, feels like it should be pretty open and shut. Hope you get a nice belated bday present tomorrow.

I wonder if it’s taking a while because they want to be thorough in the hopes of preventing any errors that could spark an appeal. If I were on the jury, I would want the verdict to stick, to spare another jury having to sit through that evidence.

Of course, we all know there’s no predicting what a jury might do. Sometimes innocent people go to prison, and sometimes guilty people go free. I hope there is justice for the victims in this case.
 
The ultra modest clothing has always been a thing. In fact they used to wear full on like, prairie dresses. Like the kind of crap target sells now lol
I definitely knew that they always dressed more modestly, but I’m wondering if there was a difference in their modesty after Josh confessed to the molestation. I can only find one family picture of them before the show started (and Josh was 16 by then) and Michelle had on a top that was sheer from the neck down to the top of her “girls”.
There’s “modest” and then there’s “keep your entire body covered in hopes that Josh won’t do this again” modest. (I’m not victim blaming, but I wouldn’t put it past JB &M to believe that putting the girls in sacks might somehow change Josh’s wicked ways 🤷🏼‍♀️)
 

If Anna divorced him after the first scandal how could she have kept him from visitation? He would have had access to those kids without anyone else around. Not that having more kids was the answer, but I am not sure there was a good one.

In certain cases one can petition the court to order that visitations must be supervised by a third party.

They can, but it can be difficult and I'm not sure a court would find the allegations of misconduct when he was a teen (I don't believe he was ever even charged with anything, is that right?) would suffice and be enough for the court to step in and say he can only have supervised visitation. They definitely would not have just based on the affairs/p**n thing he got caught up in. I do feel for Anna...certainly I would hope and expect I would have handled it differently, but even in a normal situation- someone that hasn't had the brainwashing and brought up the way she has with 0 empowerment I'm sure it would be difficult and a risk that him seeing your kids would be out of your control. I can't imagine the difficulty in her situation.

If he is convicted of these charges will he be required to register as a sex offender? I know at the State level (at least in my State) he would. I am not sure how Federal charges work. If so, I don't see any Judge granting visitation with minor children without supervision.
 
What really sickens me is that the majority of pediphiles are also victims. How many kids in that family will be abused, and become abusers. Look at the Catholic Church, able to hide so much with the public watching. Who is watching families like this who aren’t on TV?
