Where is Brian Laundrie?

But you are his lawyer, not a jurist. You are suppose to sell it to a jury. Maybe she was armed and while disarming her they both fell and she got stabbed accidently. Maybe she was armed and swinging a knife and his restraining her to kept the knife away and calm her down ended up choking her by accident.
I was just making suggestions on how his lawyer might 'spin his way out of this one'. I figure that based on witnesses statements, Laundrie was on an ever increasing path of violence and flipped out and killed her. Based on her behavior on the cop film, I think she put up no resistance at all to the final attack.
A smarter defence would just be we had a fight, she ran off with some other guy, and thats the last I saw of her.
I was too scared to go to the cops because I dont think I could ever get a fair trial.
Of course it would take a shitty lawyer with no conscience to go along with the scheme

Nah. That one's believable. As long as it's believable, a lawyer will be fine with it.
He could run that and give the DA a run for his / her money.
Dude has a point, but it's tasteless to bring it up when a woman - no matter what age or colour - is actually dead.
I saw a bit on YT a few months ago about how 12 or 15 young women on an Indian reservation in MT had simply gone missing over a period of a few months and the cops didn't seem to care, let alone the media.
Looks like we are done with the "laundry jokes". I think there are 3 possibilities.
1) He is already dead.
2) He is still alive and living off the grid.
3) He is making a run for or is already in Canada or Mexico with help from a relative and/or friend.

I wonder if that is why they have not charged him with murder. Wyoming has the death penalty and if he does make it to Canada, it would make it easier to deport him. Bank fraud lets them hold him where ever he is found.
Just my opinion but I doubt he would get a death penalty -it's hard to prove he planned a 2 month trip to kill her and that there was an element of premeditation. Maybe 30-50 years but I doubt the death penalty. (Just a guess from the peanut gallery)
Some might think this is ancient history but Charles Ng made it to Canada and committed a crime here hoping to prolong his stay here.
I know it's not murder but as far as I know, Canada never extradited any American draft dodgers back to the U.S.
I don't think that would float. He didn't think he would get a fair trial ? - for what ? - she has run off with a new boyfriend and he doesn't know she is dead. He stuck around after returning in her van for three weeks when for all he knows - she is alive. People - your parents - the public think you killed her and you don't go to the police and talk about the last guy she was with ? If I was his lawyer - I'd go with accidental death /panic to explain his behavior. The mysterious stranger appearing in an isolated Wyoming state park - committing murder, then disappearing without a trace (including DNA) is to easy to prove impossible and your defendant now is a killer robbed of any chance to provide his version of circumstances leading to her death.
Crimes covered in the treaty are defined and extradition on crimes associated to your personal beliefs is tricky. These draft dodgers did not get charged for any criminal acts recognized by the treaty. They might even suggest their lives are in danger do to an arbitrary federal run draft lottery. I don't know details but I can see it would be complicated.

I'm Laundrie's extradition lawyer and I'm arguing the under charge is a ruse by the DA's office to get the deportation order without the "no death penalty" undertaking. The rest of your post I have no problem with.
