Well, after sitting there for a couple of hours, it was postponed until March 13th. Chad and Amy Beth were both called before the judge together, and the arresting officers and private investigator were there as well. Amy Beth's public defender was there ... first time she knew who had her case ... and he spoke with the District Attorneys. Apparently 2 different District Attorneys had differing opinions on what to do, so they were re-called to the bench later on. Finally, the judge stated that the State wants to prosecute BOTH of them (Chad AND Amy Beth) ... which is not a good thing. Since Amy Beth has not had a chance to speak with her attorney (public defender) all parties agreed to postpone the hearing until March 13th. Amy Beth was told by her attorney to call for an appointment asap to meet with him in his office. Oh, when the judge stated that the State was wanting to prosecute BOTH of them, Amy Beth's public defender spoke up and said that he intended to not let that happen. At this point I am very worried. The private investigator that arrested Amy Beth and had her sent to jail was there and had a large file in her hands. She stated to the judge that she "was ready"! At least this continuance gives Amy Beth time to work with her public defender / attorney, but I am still very concerned where this is all leading.

Thank you for all of the prayers and support, but this is not over yet by a long shot. I will try not to post any more until the next court date. I know everyone is sick of hearing about this!

Oh, on a lighter note, her MIL invited me and hubby over to see Jenna right after court! We visited with her and got lots of hugs and kisses. She also told me I could stop by anytime to see her. What a blessing to have her be so understanding.

Love,
Kim
