Update from Vicki

Monday morning, September 19, 2005, at 9 a.m., the Judge will begin hearing arguments on Pre-Trial Motions filed in the case. Judy's attorney will be asking for dismissal.

Judy has asked me to request that those of you who pray, pray for 3 specific things:
  1. That her attorney will be granted wisdom and discernment as he argues his case Monday morning;
  2. That Judy and her family will stay focused on God and not be tempted or discouraged;
  3. That the case will be dismissed, Lord willing, and that God will be glorified.

Yet Another Delay

When I said a year ago that maybe Jonathan would be in college by the time this was all done, I was joking, but apparently, it might come true. (More)

Thinking of Isaac on Jonathan's Birthday

This morning, I received a card from my parents letting me know that they will always remember Isaac and that they had given a gift to World Vision in his honor.
Then, this afternoon, I was listening to Stacey Regan's CD, which of course includes I Offer My Isaac. The lyrics can be found here. The version on the CD also has a heartrending bagpipe prelude.
I haven't cried for Isaac in a long time. Jonathan was very sweet, rubbing noses with me and letting me hold him close.

City Money

Someone from the friends of judy list wrote: Just thinking here, this morning the news reported that there is a mesh "screening" on the city/county building downtown because there is a hazard of parts of it falling off. The building can't be repaired because they don't have the $400,000 to repair it. Hmmm, just how much is going for the trial of our friend? Bet there would be plenty of money for repair if they were not pursuing this case.

Trial Date?

It is somewhat humorous I guess, that all this takes so long and that the judges and attornies (and coroner) schedule all these meetings, get paid a ton per hour, and then don't bother to show up (or subpeona the witness, or let the interested parties know when things are happening, etc).
There was supposed to be a hearing this last Friday to schedule the trial date, but when Judy and her lawyer traveled the couple hours into Pittsburgh to be told that the judge was on vacation, so there isn't a date scheduled yet. I wonder if this always happens, or are they just specially treating Judy?
The guess is in March sometime.

Auction for Judy

The Friends of Judy have set up an Ebay store to try to raise money for Judy's legal fees. Take a look -- there has been a lot of stuff donated, and you might find something useful.

Formal Arraignment

I finally found out what the meeting tomorrow for Judy is about. I thought it was some sort of hearing, but it turns out it is just a silly formality, where each charge is read in front of Judy, and then she pleads whatever to each charge, and then is done.
So, I imagine not very interesting, although there is a definite time limit for which the court has to set a trial date (30 days).

Prayer Requests

Please pray for peace for all of us, that we will trust that God is in control and not worry about anything.
Pray for Lisa Pelligrini, the prosecutor. From my little observation of her, she seems to be an angry person, kind of like a school bully - there is probably some hurt she has experienced in her own life that drives her behavior.
Pray that truth will prevail.

Correction to Media

Jon says it's pretty much pointless to try to correct most of the wrong details that the media prints, but I did want to say that Isaac was born on November 21, 2002 and died on November 23, 2002. Only one channel/paper had that wrong last year, but now it's on all the stations and papers.

Preliminary Hearing

I just got back from the courthouse. The judge upheld all charges. The prosecution added a fourth charge as well, that I didn't really understand -- It was a little hard to hear everything. There is an additional charge of endangering the welfare of a minor, I think having to do with actions before Isaac was born, and the first charge only has to do with actions after he was born. Judy's lawyer argued that the actions are one, her actions of the entire care of the baby, and I think the judge sort of agreed, and maybe said something about allowing it in, and then it would be dismissed, not quite sure about all that. At the end, he just said something like, "all charges stand."  (More)

Brothers

Just went through all of Jonathan's pictures the other day and am amazed at how much he has changed. I said at first that I thought he didn't look like Isaac at all. Now I am starting to see more similarities. I always did think Isaac looked more like a three month old than a newborn, and I really think Jonathan started looking more like Isaac around then. The other night when it was hot, Jonathan was sleeping without any clothes on, and he really did look similar to Isaac. Sweet, peaceful little face, eyes closed, fat little bare shoulders looking so cute.

Support for Judy

I think there are a bunch of places who are doing this, and I just should get the list, but Heather just bought a baby sling from these people. They donate a part of their profit to Judy's Legal Defense Fund.
