Laura Hall on 48 Hours Tonight

What alibi?

As far as I can tell, her fingerprints were at the scene and she drove the guy to Mexico. Which part does her alibi excuse her from?

I'm pretty sure that's all the rest of us need to know.
 
Her alibi on the actual murder/shooting? Has anyone explored who the guy is that gave her an alibi (for the shooting). There is no doubt she is responsible for the grusome events after death, but did she murder Jennifer ? I mean, she does seem twisted enough to do it all. I'm just wondering why her alibi wasn't explored further.

She's never been charged with the murder - if she is guilty of that, she could be tried for it and she'd be punished in a more commensurate manner.

So, back to her alibi - has anyone explored the person she was suppose to be with when Jennifer was shot ?

Another trial, might bring answers..........
 
denim, I don't remember the exact details but it was proven that Hall wasn't involved in the murder. The police investigated it but between numerous eye witnesses, phone records and the time of death info, she was cleared of being involved in the actual murder.

The guys she was with were giving her **** about getting the tattoo. It was after she got back from Mexico. She went back home with her parents and then came back to Austin. She called the guys about going out but they had tickets to see some band. She rode with them and said she would be fine. When they met up after the show, she showed the tattoo and they started giving her grief.
 
I hear ya about the initial investigation. It was focused on CP being guilty. Remember they let her go, without checking the car for evidence. I mean they didn't even look at her till after his trial.

The prosecutor was interviewed after CP's trial and said he had never spoken with or interviewed LH. The police interview wasn't addressed, all focus was on CP.

As a result of things that came out in CP's trial, they added the tampering with evidence. Which again, shows they didn't really investigate her. I mean where is the interviews of those witness?

I'm just saying - I don't think her alibi was properly investigated? Did they see her all night? Or did they assume she was in the other room? Or could they be part of it?

CP doesn't remember, how do they know she didn't do it?
 
why ask us. ask them. You can google the number or email for Austin Police. You are welcome.
 
I didn't know anything about the case but we just watched the episode. (Mrs. DeadHorse likes 48 Mystery.)

Anyway, the episode didn't make LH look good at all. Both the Mrs. and myself think LH is guilty as hell. We're not quite sure of motive, though. Why would LH go to that lengths to help this dude? Was it because she was smitten with him?

Also, why did they quit messing with the body? It seems as though they were trying to hide the body then quit midway through the process. Also, what was with the second gunshot?

Good episode, though.
 
Deadhorse, Thanks for your comments. I was curious what someone who hadn't followed the case thought of the verdict. Smitten doesn't even begin to cover it. Drives his *** to Mexico, then gets a tat of his name on her ankle, AFTER he is arrested from Mexico?
 
That was Laura Hall. Jealously. Of what? Well, one girl was very pretty, Laura was and is not. One was very intelligent in a sane fasihion, the other not. One had a future in life worthy of respect, the other was not. One was sought after by Colton for more than just a sex toy, the other was just a sex toy and knew it. It knew its place.
 
Just watched the show, and not having a lot of background on the case, the thing I wonder was what 100p kind of alluded to, which was motivation. The thing that was not addressed during the broadcast, and which Laura Hall never volunteered, was the whole jealousy issue and where she saw herself in relation to the victim. It's kind of glaring in its omission, and I'm sure there's no way she'd want to admit to being jealous or feeling cheated on or something along those lines.

She comes off as articulate, but everything she says seems very superficial, there's very clearly a lot that she isn't saying for one reason or another. It definitely looked worse for her as the show went on, which of course is how the show is supposed to progress.

The interviewer had some pretty evident skepticism throughout, and when someone asks you "why didn't you just not go back if you were afraid for your life", you have to have a better answer than "that's a good question." If you really didn't do anything, the time for being introverted and unwilling to talk about your innermost issues thought processes is over.
 
This is really such a sad set of circumstances. Three kids messing with excesses in terms of alcohol, drugs, and sex. Add in that crazy Laura Hall ***** and you've got the recipe for disaster.

I agree with an earlier poster in that you have to wonder why Hall agreed to be interviewed for this deal. She comes across as psycho to me and that is the main reason her attorney wouldn't let her testify in either trial, she shouldn't have gotten on TV either.

Hook em
 
I'm still shivering after watching that. I've read bits and pieces, but did not know much at all since I'm not back in Austin.
My heart about stopped after hearing JC's moms blood curdling scream on the 911 call. I can't even fathom seeing your daughter like that and trying to compose yourself enough to make that call.
LH sounds about as smart as a rock. I know speech doesn't prove intelligence one way or the other, but even through her speaking you can feel her lying. Having to stop every few seconds to make sure she didn't misspeak and incriminate herself was tough to listen to. She's so full of ****. I wish they would have sent her away a lot longer than 5 years. And I don't know how that CP **** didn't get the death penalty. Pathetic.

Truly sad situation all around. I pray for the families.
 
Add to that the threats to the Cave family and children. The glances and scowls, etc...all by the two bit sex toy of a meth addict/dealer.
 
I watched the program for the first time last night and was not impressed with Ms. Hall's innocence either.

I can believe she was tanked up on drugs just as much as Colton but in the first few minutes of the show when the interviewer asked for her story and the exhaled through her lips it signaled to me that lies would be heard.

Her explanation of her actions make no sense whatsoever. If she was that afraid she would have gotten the hell out of town and gone to her parents home excepted she probably could not stay doped up there.

She is guilty of helping Colton go to Mexico at the very least and needs to accept her punishment for that. Whatever in the world was APD thinking when they did not thoroughly process her car after it was returned from Mexico?

There will never be a good explantion for this senseless murder. I can clearly understand why Mrs. Cave went into hysterics in the background of the 911 call. No mother should ever see something like that.

I will bet that if you ask 100 sociiopaths if they are sociopaths, 99.9 of them will tell you they are not sociopaths unless they have been in counseling for decades.
