Kansas moms killings: 'Unprecedented' setup in rural courtroom | Banfield
Defendants accused of killing two Kansas mothers appeared in court Wednesday as attorneys noted a key piece of evidence is still missing from discovery. The five suspects are accused of killing Veronica Butler and Jilian Kelley, two mothers who were driving from Kansas to Oklahoma for a supervised visit with Butler’s children. NewsNation's senior correspondent Brian Entin reports.

A lawyer having a relationship with a client is unethical and a disbarrable offense.
Grandma Tif is certainly No "Mastermind!" If she was, they all wouldn’t be sitting at defense tables in a courtroom! No, she’s no mastermind by any stretch. I think "Ringleader" is a more suitable term for Granny.

Plot twist?
Yelp, cora is gonna flip and take a deal.
I don't see any reason for the prosecutor to want to make any deals. From what we know, he has 5 solid death row convictions without anyone testifying against the others. They always want all the evidence they can collect but that's usually during the investigation or if they haven't identified the criminal. In this case there is a mountain of evidence already.
No benefit to the prosecution if one turns on another. The evidence is overwhelming.
Cora will flip first
This attorney feeling up her client seems reminiscent of Jennifer Crumbley's attorney who had her nose in Jennifer's ear on numerous occasions and wanted Jennifer to be put on house arrest in her home where her own children lived. Creepy vibes steady flowing from that situation.
The lawyer was rubbing his head? wth? lol

That’s bizarre with that guy’s lawyer. What are these lawyer thinking these days? That they’re in some movie?
Cole T's lawyer was probably trying to induce Cora to stay in support of Cole because she felt Cole would fare better if wife was on his side instead of against him. By making Cora jealous, it would help bond them together and separate those two from the others, so they could blame the others and say they were tricked, lied to, or something like that.

That might be why that female attorney is trying to milk a wedge between the married couple, to get some on to break ⁉️
This Cora woman seems to be the weaker of all of them. I very much doubt the female attorney's attracted to her client. All the defendants and all their attorneys were in the same room for the first time. I think they are accessing each other like dogs in a dog park and finding out which buttons to press. They'll turn on each other eventually. Prayers for strength and love to Jilian🙏❤ and Veronica's🙏❤ families
Awww.... grandma at the big table. Just like thanksgiving dinner. Grandma, will you please pass the indictments.
Wonder who has custody of the little children?
Soo what is this all about. How bout some context for someone seeing this video for first time.
They didn’t have any shackles on what are you talking about
This was the worst coverage ever, no idea why they were in court , what happened in the hearing, who the different attorneys are, not even the charges or allegations. But so much info about an attorney touching/ leaning into her client when we've seen lawyers lean in clients, or adjust something about their appearance when in court. Would we care if his attorney wasn't a woman? Ridiculous - get some actual info to report.

Focus on the case and the suspects, not some arbitrary, trivial interaction between attorney and client.
Too bad you aren’t talking about RFK
Cora or Paul IMO will rollover like a hounddog wanting their belly scratched or sing like a canary.🤣 I believe that Cora's daughter is who they all should be concerned about though. She IMO, either has or will tell LE everything she knows and testify against them all in court.

Its ok just as long as she isnt illegal. Then its not ok
No one needs to talk or flip. There's enough evidence to convict everyone from what I've seen, especially with the testimony of the Twombly's daughter and the confession of Paul Grice. Each one of them has the victims' blood on their hands whether they were participants in the actual murders or not.
Where was White Lives Matter?
Oh yeah it's hard to walk I bet she didn't look because it's embarrassing I'm just saying I've been in jail before and I've been shackled and it's the most awkward and horrible thing and yeah you can't walk I've fallen over before. And it is the most embarrassing thing ever I mean that was years ago but it's horrible
