I live in the house Renee lived in when she died. Ive only heard bit's and pieces about the story and was curious as to what happened to the daughters boyfriend. He was the one that committed the murder, wasnt he?

It sounds like the defense is doing a good job. The prosecutor has to get his act together. He's the only one at fault here with the delay.

I read the link. What's that all about with the kissing in the truck before he stabbed Renee?

It sounds like it was a messy relationship even before Renee got killed.

Thank you....it worked

Well, Ive only heard the stories because my Dad owns the house but it was a line of bull. I cant believe he hasnt gone to trial yet. She didnt try to kiss him, she wanted him out of her house. Thats what I heard. The fact that the daughter took his side makes me sick. She should be in jail too.

Martin has confessed to the murder.This is NOT a case of him denying guilt.The defense has yet again postponed the trial ( #12 ) & they are going to attempt to get martin a lesser sentence.Ill repeat it again..... Martin has admitted guilt & signed his confession back in 03.The public defenders office in San Bernardino County court house,ca has been absolutly pathetic.http://community.webtv.net/rpp64/r1

Martin said renee came on to him & he defended himself.Renee was 4-10 & martin is 6-02.Renee didnt kiss him at all.martin is a filthy liar.The relationship between martin & my sister was like a mom & son.Renee finally saw the truth & it was too late.

Okay, I have been involved with a DP case for many years and even testified at trial, so maybe this will be of some assistance. The link you posted was a personal one - while understanding your feelings, it's not a legal site. The editor is under no obligation to respond to you and can't anyway under these circumstances, for fear of bias. A biased newspaper opinion being brought forward in a verdict could damage your case, so she's done you a favour in stepping back.

Confessions are not what they were. They can be retracted, they can be given under duress, which is why they are not bonafide nowadays. Hearsay is not admissable in a court of law - they're not interested in who kissed who, or why they didn't. If your sister's name has been omitted, I'm sorry to say, but it's generally because the editor is aware of repercussions. Justice doesn't mean a lot to newspaper folks, just reading figures.

The only one who can stop the trial postponements are the Judge. The more it is postponed for whatever reason, it is up to the judge whether or not it gets continued. If it has been a defense postponement, the prosecutor has to agree as well.

The wheels of justice grind exceedingly fine. Sometimes it take a bit longer to prosecute some people.
