The prosecution would LOVE to have evidence of who did this if it wasn't him. Why would you wait until the trial to bring it forward? Why would you file "hail mary" motions trying to get off on technicalities if you had real evidence that would exonerate you? And to address your comment about "leaving it to the professional", I am an attorney and have passed the bar in three states.

I'm horrified right there with you, as is my family. I'm also really concerned that Josh and Anna refused to allow the children to be interviewed by LE/CPS. People who have nothing to hide, hide nothing. People with nothing to hide are confident because they know their conscience is clean. The Bible talks about the wicked fleeing when no one is pursuing (because their conscience and their brain know what they've done and they're looking over their shoulder, afraid they'll get caught). If Anna is so sure of Josh's innocence, the children being interviewed shouldn't be a problem since the interviews are recorded and leading questions are illegal. His defense has not denied that the stated material was on his devices. They've filed motions attacking the investigative process (all of which they lost). This latest motion is seeking to bar the prosecution from introducing Josh's prior offenses (establishing a pattern of behavior), even though Josh and his family openly admitted and discussed them on air. Josh's lawyers have yet to successfully argue a motion, so I guess we'll see. If they lose their argument, it could potentially mean that Jim Bob and Michelle could be compelled to testify to the prior offenses (and maybe the girls as well, if I'm reading that correctly). This may not go well for Josh or any of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-6189049711996897292021-11-04T09:50:05.966-05:002021-11-04T09:50:05.966-05:00I just saw a report that said some of the images o...I just saw a report that said some of the images on Josh's computer had babies as young as 18 months old on it. If this is true how can they let him be around his children. At the least he should not be allowed to be around them until after the trial. How can a mother even begin to think this is ok. Is no one thinking of what is best for those children? Come on...where are the people who have functioning brains. I CANNOT be the only one who thinks there is something horribly wrong with this.

It seems that my question about the laws in Arkansas is deemed too profane, insulting or in poor taste. Well, here I go once again. Does anyone know if the laws in Arkansas will allow Josh to be around his minor children if he is found guilty? As I've stated in previous comments that weren't posted my family has gone through a similar situation and the perpetrator was/is not allowed to be around his minor children and we really thank God for that. Once the children become adults then they will have the choice to deal with him or not. So does anyone know the answer?

As 4:15 said, if this goes to trial, their only hope is to try to gain sympathy from the jury or make them unable to decide. Josh's defense has used up their chances to get the case dismissed before trial, and the judge denied all the motions based on solid legal grounds. God continue to grant wisdom to those who will need to prove their case and see through the desperation.

I'm guessing he won't take a deal, he'll go to trial where his lawyers will try to confuse 12 jurors to the point where they won't be able to come to a decision, or the lawyers will plant enough doubt that the jurors won't be able to figure anything out so they'll acquit and go home. Introduce enough computer evidence and you can confuse anyone. Bet that's what the defense is counting on.

Judge Timothy Brooks, ...Thank you for posting this. Judge Timothy Brooks, in issuing the denial, also included some strongly-worded footnotes in the motion to deny. Josh/his lawyers asserted in their Franks motion that Chief Magistrate Judge Erin Wiedemann was essentially "uneducated" by Federal law enforcement and should not have issued the search warrants (implying she lacked the knowledge, intelligence, and the ability to discern and evaluate the evidence and situation). A defendant with a high school level education, "schooling" a federal judge who's far more educated than he will ever be (4 years of college, 3 years of law school, 15 years of legal experience, and 10 years as a Federal Judge by that point in time). As a parent who home schooled, let me say that this is exactly the type of arrogant stereotypical behavior that gives other home schoolers a bad name. He proudly asserted himself for years as a Christian (financially profiting from that persona repeatedly) and he's personally attacking a judge? As a Christ-follower, I can tell you that is not Jesus. You're not going to find Jesus or His followers doing that in the Bible (Stephen, Paul, Peter, Timothy, etc.). Josh needs to stop claiming Christ.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6925412444274057427.post-73532021481277647622021-10-19T11:10:00.483-05:002021-10-19T11:10:00.483-05:00Anonymous @ 12:25- I absolutely love your post, bo...Anonymous @ 12:25- I absolutely love your post, both for it's truth and it's compassion. I think it's a very accurate assessment of the situation Anna is in and I really appreciate the cultural reminder and context. Accepting Josh's guilt would be (and will be) devastating on so many different levels and will inevitably alter her for a lifetime, as well as her relationships with both sets of parents. It's going to be struggle and will likely take her a long time to work through it all (hopefully with very good outside Christian counseling, as Anna is a Christian and there are a lot of attendant issues involved here). While I disagree with the choices she's made (starting with being counseled to marrying him anyway), I understand why she's made them and the type of pressure she's under. I've counseled people to leave before, only for them to stay because of "religious" pressure from their families (family members who were thoroughly convinced they were doing the "right thing"). I don't know Anna personally, so I won't speak to her motivation, but I am praying God's wisdom and discernment for her.

Also, Anna has been surrounded by like-minded IBLP fundamentalists who practice a strict patriarchal system where women are under the authority of their husbands. She's not had much practice thinking for herself and certainly no experience with independence. It's likely that Anna is in a state of denial, because accepting Josh's guilt would be too much.
