Mechele Linehan was sentenced yesterday to 99 years in prison.
I wrote about Mechele a few weeks back here.
This Elephant Draws
There has not been one animal whose eyes that I have looked into who didn’t mirror back to me my own emotions, my own flesh and blood frailties, who didn’t want what I want: love, nurturing, understanding, compassion and acceptance.
Charges Dropped Against Matt Baker
I saw interesting news this morning that the charges against Matt Baker, who I recently wrote about, have been dropped.
Apparently, Texas state law says that if a suspect hasn’t been indicted by a grand jury within 180 days from the time of their arrest, the suspect can file a motion with the court for the charges to be dropped. And apparently Matt Baker’s attorney did just that, and the motion was granted.
The district attorney can still charge Matt Baker with murder at any time, and bring him before a grand jury.
The DA says the case will remain open.
Matt Baker’s attorney, however, says the DA made a statement that they need more evidence.
Kari’s mom, however, says:
I have been assured by the district attorney’s office that this changes nothing. I have full confidence that the DA’s office will eventually take this to the grand jury and go to trial.

It is endlessly fascinating to see what brings people to my blog, and website.
Today one person searched for “what happen after two years of life insurance if no lies are found”
Hmmm, does it make you think this is an honest person?
Hans Reiser: “I’m Not Consistent”
I found this statement by Hans Reiser made during his on-going trial quite interesting:
“I am not consistent in my thinking,” the defendant [Hans Reiser] testified.
“That’s the hallmark of lying, isn’t it?” [prosecutor] Hora replied.
“That’s the hallmark of real people,” the defendant [Hans Reiser] responded (source).
I personally think prosecutor Paul Hora said it right on the money. If you want to read my opinion on this case, click here.
