Lynn and Lindsey Maxwell head to Oswego County Court Tuesday morning to ask a judge to lower their bail.
The Maxwells were found guilty of four counts each of endangering the welfare of Erin Maxwell, 11, who police allege was murdered in the home by her stepbrother, Alan Jones.
I’ve sat through high-profile trials — Delbert Ward, Laurie Kellogg and Shirley Kinge come to mind — and more routine court appearances, motions hearings and sentencings than I can count.
This trial beats them all.
I’ve got a notebook full of leftover scraps from this trial that I think might show why I think this was so unusual.
It’s another important day in the race to replace John McHugh as Congressman in the North Country.
Democratic party leaders meet today at Syracuse University’s meeting center in Blue Mountain Lake. They intend to choose from among 11 people who want the party’s endorsement for Congress.
Belrad’s claim is nearly identical to the claim of Lynn Maxwell. Both said there were things in the statements given to police that were not true or were exaggerations.

Both of Kansas’s US Senators say they’ve put a hold on McHugh’s nomination and 9 others because they want their state’s military prison taken off the list of prisons to be used to house prisoners moved from the military detention camp at Guantanamo Bay when it closes next year.
Maxwell was pressed about the statements she gave to police on August 30, the day after Erin died, and on September 11.
Maxwell has said in court that Erin “could have pushed on the hinge side of the door and it would have come right off.” Prosecutor Mark Moody asked her why that wasn’t in the statement she gave to police, which she reviewed and then signed.
UPDATE 1: Lynn Maxwell remains on the stand, under cross examination from Assistant DA Mark Moody.
Few points made so far:
A brief recess, then the testimony continues.
