Locals in the chat, say on the local channels they are still showing people lined up for "miles" outside.

Wow, are they able to have the people hear the service on the outside with speakers.

I think I stumbled on the actual charges against Melissa Huckaby if anyone wants to look, I don't know if it's been posted before?  Just 3 pages of 14?

It was only 3 pages. The 4/14 in the date received.

This entire horrible ordeal has been handled so much better by Sandra's family and the Tracy community that how things were handled in the Caylee Anthony case.  Evidenced here by the number of people still trying to be seated.

They are putting people in overflow areas w/giant video screens. They guy said they are still seating people and thanked people for their patience.

There is several empty rows right up front. (blue seats) that are reserved for family and friends.

As if our hinky meters couldn't GET any higher... here ya go: 

According to his bio, Pastor Lawless was 'saved', baptized, and married all on the same day, with his FIL doing all the ceremonies.  That was on July 9, 1960 in Wenatchee, WA.  Ok so far.. Until one looks up Wenatchee, WA and finds this:

"The town of Wenatchee, WA. made world headlines in 1994 and 1995 when police and state social workers undertook what was then called the nation's most extensive child sex-abuse investigation."

coinkydink?? 

  

  What does saved mean? Was his life on the skids, and then he found this church? And then his life became better.

Many folks believe that when a person realizes their life is on the skids, and that person turns to God, believes in Him, receives Him into their heart and life, that person has then received salvation, (saved), also referred to as being 'born again'.
God creates in that person a new heart.  Baptists believe at that point the person then is baptized, symbolic for telling the world they are a changed person, etc.  Here's a link that describes it all in more detail:

So, according to the bio, Pastor Lawless was 'saved', baptized, and married all on the same day.

Sorry I can't be there everyone. I was going to go, then I had to work, now I am home sick...I am watching the memorial on tv, sitting on my couch and have my laptop.

What is amazing to me is seeing my community coming together as they are. This town is like every other town nowadays, no one talks to one another, you don't know neighbors names or what they do for a living, when dropping your kids off at school people are cutting off the person behind them, lol. Tracy is not a small town, we have 80,000 people, many of which are transplants from the hated bay area,ewww the locals do not like the bay area transplants at all! There is a class war of sorts too. some people say that if a child was missing from "Red bridge" a high priced development here in Tracy, an amber alert would have been issued within 3 min and a "run away" would not have been even thought about. Who knows though.

So my point is, this little girl on the heals of another tragic story, Kyle, has some how brought together thousands of people. Kyle is 16 and Sandra 8 and both of them have touched the world more then some seniors.

This is amazing to me, just amazing. Oh and my Mayor will be there, he has talked on the news lately, never said a word about Kyle, but now he is there for Sandra. Anyway, he is spinning Tracy as a safe town, I think he is afraid no one would want to move here!

The gym holds 2,000 I think an article read.

So the turn out is HUGE if they are seating overflow. What a wonderful tribute. I agree with you klaas/re: The A's.

Klaas-
thanks for posting.

Re Sgt. Sheneman ( I am smitten) comments "Anything is possible". That to me, is about as "about face" as you can get. We're progressing, I can feel it. Just a thought, if they are accessing her computer interaction with regards to images, those warrants take approximately 30 days to get/serve (exceptions yes, but for the most part to go through IP and Search Engines, etc..). This could be the case. I have paid very close attention to his wording, posture and reactions. I say this is moving to a direction of at least one other arrest.

Good Morning Blink and all Monkey friends,

Blink, thanks for all you do.  I love your articles and pay really close attention to what you're saying.  I'm loving Sgt. Sheneman too.     He is very professional and respectful of Sandra's family - I like that in a guy!   I'm a "refugee" from tax season and haven't contributed much, but want to offer a huge "thank you" to all the hardworking Monkeys who bring the info forward.  I try to read all the posts whenever I get a chance.  This case has touched me deeply...so, so sad.   

I agree, numbersgirl, Blink's reporting always feels solid - best I have found as well. (Can't help but love the intellectual snark & humor she interjects with pertinent info as well- seems like someone that we would all love to get to know, no? But I'm glad to hear it's not just me who feels smitten by Mr. Sheneman; dignified, professional, and heroic, IMO.

Am watching the memorial service live, as I'm sure you all are too ... and can't help but think that MH should be FORCED to watch a tape of this, ALL of it, chained to the chair if need be, NO  tranquilzing meds allowed. If that couldn't get through to her what this has done to so many people, nothing would. And if she has more info to spill, that may just force her to do it.
