I thought he got longer sentencing? 25 years? Darn, and I thought I was following this story closer.

I did sympathize with Cody. Though murder is never appropriate, pops did brutalize him. That much was proved to me. Of course, the sister....well.

Hi Darling Poor,

Naw, Cody will be tasting freedom when he turns 21.
The sister was caught up in the cross fire of a psychologically tortured mind.

What a sad and tragic story, but I'm elated for the outcome with Cody.

I think it's hard to tell if he'll be a productive citizen. Hopefully, he will get counseling and a loving family.

Hey Trisha & Everyone of interest,

I just rec'd some news from a very reliable source,
that on April 6th Cody was moved back to the juvenile
facility - Sequoyah.

Praise God!

Hello Everyone,

I was just informed, that a segment about Cody will
be featured on Dateline, this Saturday.
So check your local listings.

I went to their site and there wasn't any info.
stating what would be covered in this airing.

However, I trust the source which I just rec'd the
email from.

I just wanted to give you guys the heads up.

Anybody out there who hasn't casted their Vote, yet?
We got 16 yes' that he will become a productive citizen!
Yay Cody!

Well, it looks like my source was indeed on the money.

I checked my cable tv programming and Dateline NBC has Cody Posey
and the murder which took place on Sam Donaldson's Ranch.

It appears, as if they will feature things that lead up to the murder, events of the trial.
I'm pretty sure Cody will not be interviewed.

Hey Guys,

Disappointing News!

Dateline NBC has been bumped tonight.
No Dateline or Cody Posey.

That sucks! I've been looking forward for it the whole day,but oh well. Are they going to have it next week or tomorrow night on Cody?

That sucks foreal!
I was really looking forward to seeing it.
Tomorrow, Sunday Dateline NBC is scheduled to come on,
but it's not the episode or hour of Cody.
I forget what it's about I'm so disappointed.

They showed Cooking with the stars - ugh!
After taking off Cody I lost my appetite. <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Vicki! I was just watching my local news on NBC, and the comercial came on for Cody's episode of Dateline. It is on this Saturday 8/7c. Wow, I'm excited now! I was jumping up and down when I saw it. They showed a picture of him in the hospital and pictures of the welts and everything, from the comercial it looks really interesting!..cant wait!

OMG!!
I can't wait I will be glued to the tv.
You say, there is pictures of welts etc.
I'm hoping Dateline will show Cody in the light of an abused and tortured child, which he was.
I hope they enlighten us with his progress, since the trial.

I wonder if his Uncle Verlin will be interviewed.
Man, I just can't wait.

Thanks for informing us!

Hey Trisha,

I finally seen the preview of Dateline and Cody.

Here's an article I found on Cody.
It was written by Susan Friedman a Dateline Producer.

Hey Vicki, long time no stop by.

I thought of this discussion immediately when I saw the previews. Unfortunately I haven't been able to watch it all. I'm cleaning up from a tornado last night. Scary stuff but we're all fine. Hopefully I can catch it on a rerun.

I lost half a pecan tree and might lose my young oak tree.

Hey InsanitysAngel!

What's Up... I thought about you and our other crime forum family members, today.
Man, that was a trying time back then, wasn't it?

But, getting back to you.
I am so glad that you and yours survived the tornado.
Praise God! And, your animals are ok correct?

I will keep you in my thoughts and remain safe, okay.

Have A Blessed Evening,

Okay, all you Cody Posey supporters and fans, what did you think of the portrayal of his case presented by Dateline NBC?

I guess it went pretty much like I thought it would.
I don't feel the depths of his abuse & torture was exposed.

Sandra Grisham's voice was still irritating to me.
And, I completely found Sam Donaldson, once again to be annoying.
If he has ever acknowledged that Cody was abused & tortured on his ranch I have yet to hear it.

I never divulged my disgust with his testimony, but I will now I wanted to snatch his toupee right off his head. "They were the All American Family," everytime I hear him say that...

I looked into the Judges eyes once more, he knew Cody's torment and pain,
that's why He said what Cody did was only "situational in nature."

I'll never forget Cody Posey, he changed my life in more ways than one.

I watched the story tonite. It is so sad that parents do things to kids like that. I didn't hear the sex abuse things until the story tonite. And the only thing they showed of Sam Donaldson was him saying he saw a blood streak through the house. I pray Cody learns from this and moves on.

Hey Jeanette Norman!

How goes it...well I hope.

The trial of Cody Posey was really heartfelt and draining
for the crime forum, we all felt Cody's pain & torture.

The things that was done to that poor child and the verbal
abuse, you know that we have discussed that.

I honestly don't know how he survived it.

So, is your daughter enjoying the weather?
I know I am, so glad to get rid of the snow!

Vicki,

I just finished watching it right now, i had to tape it. it seemed like they were showing nothing about his abuse and everything, they seemed stuck on Sandra's point of view.
But i am very glad they interviewed Marilegh[spelling?]'s father, because he believes Cody is innocent. It was good to see his reaction when he found out he wont be going to prison, just seeing his reaction again made me smile, just to see him happy for the first time since the trial began. I hope he is doing good in Sequoah, please keep us updated when you find new information

Hey Lady,

Happy Sunday to you!

I'm wondering what the viewers decided about Cody, if they didn't follow his case?

I didn't think Dateline presented the true depth of his abuse, but what can you expect?

I'll bring any information to the forum, that I continue to find out about him.

Vicki L. Forte'

I only saw the first part, but I came away with an understanding he was pretty horribly abused. Anyone who takes a hay hook to a child's hand is pretty sick. Also, the incest searchings on the dad's computer was very interesting, and not much was made of it in the media pre- or during trial (altho I was not glued to the media coverage admittedly).

Hi Vicki. Yes, my two girls are fine. We all managed to fit in the closet until the storm let up. The whole county was declared a disaster area earlier this morning.

I only had tree loss, half of one pecan tree. I'm waiting to see if my small oak tree can be saved, the man is due by any minute.

I'm going to see if I can find a copy of the broadcast thru LimeWire. I'd like to see it.

BBL

Geesh, I bet that was such a scary time.
Glad you & your girls are okay.

The whole county declared a disaster area, wow!
Bless your trees.

Stay Safe.

Well, looks like I won't be eating for awhile to save the oak tree.

Thanks Vicki. Prayers that I can finally find a job apprecitated.

You got it! Prayers for a job.

I'll even toss in for an abudance of food to be included.
I think the Universe and the Higher Power can handle all
those requests and save the oak tree, don't you?

Look what was saved & you were been blessed with so far...

Thanks Vicki!

I still haven't been able to find the Dateline episode to download.

InsanitysAngel, I don't know where you can download the Dateline but on the dateline website there is movies of the show.

Dang Trisha you be on it! <img src="/images/graemlins/rolling.gif" alt="" />

You wouldn't happen to know where can I find Bo Bice's "Vehicle" performance?
I play that song full blast everyday.
I'm feenin for it!

I'm sorry, I apologize I know this is Cody's thread, but do you know where I can find Bo Bice's - Vehicle?
