It's reprehensible to me. I'm sure an attorney can explain why her rights matter more than the possibility of finding these poor children but I think this was a horrible ruling. |
Glass houses. I don't think anyone realized how quickly she had become so unstable. The father and grandparents have shown such poise in the press to underscore the safe return of the kids (or at least at this point come to a resolution) in what I can imagine is the biggest nightmare of their life. |
| The father seems a little different himself, so he may not be all there either. People are very reluctant to take away kids now. |
| I have a feeling that due to her mental state she has no idea where they are / where she left them. G-awful. |
I know the father. He's a good guy, and considering what has happened, I think he's shown remarkable grace. I hope the children are okay. |
+1 I think if you talked with her in person the crazy would shine out. |

#Breaking Catherine Hoggle indicted for murdering her children Jacob & Sarah in 2014 @ABC7News |
I hope they have a strong case. It's time for her to face what she did, illness or not. |
Thanks for posting this. I thought she might be released since it's been three years and the judge has never deemed her competent to be questioned. I hope there will be justice for the children. |
No that's not how this works. A friend of mine went through something similar when her schizophrenic BIL murdered his parents. He wasn't declared fit for trial for 6 years but he wasn't released in the meantime. He literally sat in jail unmediated until he was declared fit for trial at which he was found guilty. |
Actually, originally Catherine had a lesser charge and could have only be held for 3 years. With the murder indictment, she can be held longer term (maybe permanently). |
She had a lesser charge originally, and could have been held for only 3 years. |
| I saw the news. Such a sad case and I hope she finally gets a taste of reality |
