Pam Hupp, serial killer? UPDATE: Charged with Murder

[Uncle Remus]

But the jury did believe the prosecution's claim that Russ's friends were in on it, despite those friends never being called as witnesses. The prosecution had to explain how Russ's phone never left the friend's house and how he had it when he found Betsy's body. Now that I think about it though, wouldn't his phone be pinging every step of the way on the way home to correspond with the stops that he made.

In the Dateline show last night, the prosecutor, Leah Askey, discussed with Pam Hupp a hearing Russ's attorney had managed to get regarding the life insurance money question as a reason to overturn the conviction, and suggested to Pam that Russ's attorney Joel Schwartz just had a bruised ego because he lost Russ's case, and that she, Leah Askey, was confident the outcome would be in her favor. But as we know, it wasn't and the conviction was overturned, new trial, NOT GUILTY. Well, take a look at this about prosecutor Leah Askey:

Wow, I'd say between Pam Hupp and all the people she's come in contact with, it's enough for a television series.

The prosecution really blew it. They focused on someone with a solid alibi, including video footage, instead of the one person who benefited from a huge life insurance policy taken out days before the murder. That's crazy.

Geez. A corrupt prosecutor and an incompetent judge. I feel so sorry for the guy spending several years in prison for something he didn't do and even his wife's family thought he was involved. It's cases like these that make me hesitant to support the death penalty.

Great, thanks!

No stream for Dippolito jury selection.

 

[usnuzuloose]

We do have live stream for DD , court chatter has it. I am assuming Wild about trial may have it also.

 

[gemini2727]

Thanks for the information. I've been watching bits from the previous trial, this should be a good one, once it gets going!

 

[usnuzuloose]

Since this thread is for Pam Hupp I will put any tweets in the ja thread.

Look at my reply above. I don't want to use this thread for it so will switch to the JA thread and you will see it on the CB board.

 

[gemini2727]

Ok, thanks!

Since I have LOTS of time at the moment I googled Pam Hupp and found that "Chris Hayes on Fox2" on FB seems to be following this case pretty closely, FYI, if you're interested in following him.

The last I could find on the suicide texting trial (Michelle Carter) is this, and no trial date set:

Is this the judge for Pam Hupp?

 

[MaryAnnDVC]

No, snuz, she was the judge in the first Russ Faria trial.
