Description

This week on Headline Highlights: new updates have surfaced in the Bryan Kohberger case as he tries to weasel out of paying restitution to the victims’ families. A French woman who was held captive by a couple for five years has finally escaped, shocking investigators with the details of her confinement.

So, if you're shot in the back it's homicide..but if you're stabbed 10 times in the back, neck and head (and 10 in the chest and neck) it's suicide?

I don't get how an uncooperative parent with a missing child isn't automatically grounds for arrest. 😫😡

When a parent doesn’t cooperate they should be placed under arrest.

I would say if he wants to back out of that part of the plea deal, then the whole plea deal is done. Go back and try the case with the death penalty on the table. How do you agree to pay restitution as part of your deal, to escape death penalty, then say, oh wait, I don’t want to do that part now? That’s some bullshit!

Melodee is the same age as my twins. I get so sick to my stomach when I hear of monster parents such as Ashlee. Kids are precious, every day with them is a gift. I do not understand these "parents". 😭
