I said in the very first hours after the initial story broke that this would wind up getting investigated at the criminal level. When I saw certain comments NOT being eliminated from Hopkins FB wall I knew he was under Attorneys orders NOT to delete anything as it would be viewed as a sign of obstruction of justice . You could basically go over to GH wall right now and say naa naa naa boo boo to him and it will stick. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will vary from carrier to carrier but generally speaking after 2 years all text and calls disappear off the face of the earth unless they are preserved on his device and he has turned it over to them without being destroyed forensically. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m thinking if anything, she would have needed to save them herself. Knowing all that’s happened, they are not on George’s phone and I doubt the carriers held on to them after a few years.

Newseditor44 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Would this go to a grand jury, or could the DA decide to prosecute on its own (I need to stop watching Law & Order). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does somebody from PA know if the above is possible? In NJ, AFAIK all criminal prosecutions have to go through the grand jury process first to get an indictment.

I hope these are helpful. https://www.cmlaw1.com/pennsylvania-grand-jury-proceedings/ Note this from this link: "In Pennsylvania, an Investigating Grand Jury is an investigative and prosecutorial tool that can be utilized by a county District Attorney or the Attorney General. " The operative here is the word 'can'. http://www.pennlive.com/midstate/index.ssf/2015/07/how_does_the_grand_jury_proces.html Edited May 17, 2018 by BigW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigW Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Big step and not surprised at all. Now sit and wait some more to see if the decision is made to do anything, and what. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
