Kevin's Nephew Greg's Murderer set FREE !!!

How does this happen? They are basically saying it's ok to murder someone if the county you do it in doesn't have the money to deal with it?


Firth Woman's Murder Case Dismissed

BINGHAM COUNTY - The case against the Firth woman accused of killing her husband will not be heading to trial, for now. Thursday morning, the case was dismissed without prejudice. This means the case can be filed again at anytime, for instance if new evidence is discovered.
Dorothy Porter was charged with first-degree murder for the July 2008 death of her husband Greg Porter. Police believed she killed him in their home and tried to cover it up by trying to make it look like a suicide. She previously pleaded not guilty to the murder charge and one count of unlawfully possessing a firearm.
Budget concerns are one of the reasons for dismissing the case for now.
"I only have a certain amount of money in the budget to use each year for court proceedings, and this case could run me over that limit by itself" said Bingham County Prosecuting Attorney, Scott Andrew.
The prosecution says there is ballistic and blood evidence that still needs to be evaluated before continuing to trial. However, the defense desires to have their experts analyze the results and make sure the lab technicians follow protocol.
The prosecution is considering moving the evidence to a private lab in Utah so the desires of both parties can be satisfied.
The amount of time needed to analyze all the data could take a considerable amount of time, which would directly conflict with Porter's ability to go to trial.
In accordance with court laws, Porter would have to be on trial before the end of April. So in an effort to buy more time, the case was dismissed without prejudice.
Once the test results are in, the Prosecution can then move to re-file the case, and move to trial.
The Defense is concerned about Porter's rights to a speedy trial and due process of law being violated. Porter's attorney was also reportedly concerned about the fees involved in continuing to pay private DNA analysts for the defense. However, the county has stepped in and accepted responsibility for said fees.
"This case has been anything but easy as far as getting everything done, but I can't see why we wouldn't re-file once all the blood work, gunshot residue, and other evidence has been analyzed," said Andrew.
Dorothy Porter was released from jail, and the courts do not believe she is a threat to the community.

A little rambling

Yesterday was a challenge to get the Credit/Check Cashing Machine going. The download and "training" took two hours. Then it took the rest of the day to get the bugs worked out. But...it's up and running. Now to get everyone trained on running it....which could take a while longer...lol.

As a Mom - I have to throw in...

Ash has had three customers now, call and say how much they liked their child's pictures. She still HATES the traveling but loves being a photographer. She is just finding out what she likes within the industry.

Hopefully Monday or Tues I will have some new pictures. Denny here at work is getting married on Sat. Everyone here is going - so the pictures should be interesting to say the least....lol

Good Morning !!!!!

Well, today should be a busy day here at work. Usually Thurs are a slow day and I catch up on things...But, we are installing the new Credit Card / Check cashing machine. So, I will have that to do here in a little while. It will make my life so much easier though. It will end the bounced checks. Yeaaaaa!

Every couple months, I have to be a debt collector and I HATE THAT PART. We are basically paying the same amount as the other company but getting an additional service (the check cashing). It's just a matter of getting everything moved over to the new company.

I thought, with this little cold snap - we may need another reminder to just hold on summer is on the way.....

Ohhhhh....I can't wait!

Hello !!

Well...everything went well at the doctor's office. He had a different attitude. I will have another MRI. I'm having it on April 9th. I guess we'll find out then whats going on....at least hopefully.























I thought the picture would help remind us that summer is not that far off...

warm summer breeze....quiet summer mornings by the beach...Smell of sun tan lotion and chlorine....

I better stop before I want to run away on vacation...oops too late

Hello !
I am heading out to Pittsburgh, to the doctor's office here in a little while. I made the decision that I wasn't going to take any Ibuprofen, Motrin or the migraine medicine for two days before my appointment. (my husband asked me if I was sure that I really wanted to do that - I think he was worried for the doctor's safety)

I want him to see what it's like. I also decided that if I am not satisfied at the end when Happ goes over everything with me....I'm going to clear the room of his interns and have a REAL chat with him.

I don't want any empty assurances. Like call me and I'll get you in within 24 hours. His theroy was he needed an MRI at the time or as close to as possible to the time of the attack or what ever you want to call them. I call...and no call back. That's happened three times and him and I are either going to see eye to eye or I am finding a new doctor...I don't care if he is one of the only 4 specialists in the country or not. He's not worth this and I plan to tell him that....So if you look in the direction of Pittsburgh and see fireworks, don't worry....it's only me.

I thought I would share a picture of our friend Donna and her Granddaughter Cypress....Cypress will be three this weekend

I got this picture the other day in my email....I thought it was ADORABLE. I wish I could remember who sent it...but I save it.

This weekend was a dud....Sunday - my day off was spent going from the couch to the bathroom...sigh...hopefully that's over.

Friends, Geno and Donna's son started a D.J. Business....D.J. Webb. He had a gathering/party for everyone they know. He was wanting to practice putting everything up and run it and then take it all down.

This is his daughter playing with the bubbles....such a cutey !!

Ashley works all week - but Friday she will be taking Kittanning Middle School Spring Portraits !! She gets to go back to her "old" school....
