She says he told her he shot the victims "because of the drugs."
"He said he needed the money for the meth and it was the meth," Brady testified, according to the 268-page transcript filed late Tuesday in Washoe District Court.
A not guilty plea was entered on his behalf during an arraignment Tuesday. His trial isn't scheduled to begin until April 2020.
His public defense attorney, John Arrascada, said in an email to AP he didn't receive the grand jury transcript until Wednesday, was reviewing it and had no immediate comment.
Federal officials have said Martinez-Guzman is in the U.S. illegally but they don't know how or when he crossed the border.
District Attorneys Chris Hicks of Washoe County and Mark Jackson of Douglas County announced last week they are seeking the death penalty but that Martinez-Guzman's immigration status had nothing to do with that decision.
Court documents allege that Martinez-Guzman's DNA was found on the same gun that was also used to kill Connie Koontz and Sophia Renken in their homes in Gardnerville south of Carson City.
Detective Brady told the grand jury that Martinez-Guzman was "engaging" and made "lots of eye contact" during the early stages of the interrogation at the Carson City sheriff's office.
"He smiled, kind of giggled through some of the questions. But he was very engaged in the conversation," she said.
After she read him his Miranda rights, "he actually acknowledged that he was fine not having an attorney because he hadn't done anything wrong," she said.
He indicated he had buried "a bunch of stuff" that he found by a river in Carson City. But when she confronted him about several contradictions, his answers became slower, his body posture was more slumped and he started touching his face uncontrollably.
When she asked him about some fishing poles that had been stolen from the Davids, "there was a really long pause. And at that point, he had dropped his head and began to cry with long deep breaths."
"He talked about how he was an idiot. He repeated that several times," Brady testified. "He talked about how he had done something that's unforgiveable."
"He said ... something about if he tells me what he did, it's not going to bring back the people that he shot," she said, and then shortly after that blamed the killings on his need for money to buy drugs.
Human beings are capable of a rich inner life that, sadly, seems to elude so many, said dating and life coach Deborah Downey.
“I doubt that most of us fully realize just how much worry, doubt and fear we experience on a daily basis; it seems to me that acknowledging this default setting and finding an alternative for well-being should be among our top priorities,” said Downey, author of “What Are You Worried About!” (http://www.coachdeborahdo...
Women who think they have to be married and men who are afraid of revealing their true feelings are just two examples of ego-driven ideas that lead us away from personal fulfillment, she said.
Downey, who found romance and happiness later in life despite living with multiple sclerosis for 25 years, said we can have a more worry-free existence. She explains a few ideas for overriding your ego’s default settings.
“Most people laugh when I say this,” she said, because society is forever challenging us to compete and compare ourselves with others to assess our own value. Striving for imperfection is a reminder that we don’t have to drive ourselves crazy with unattainable goals.
A lesson from Spanx founder and self-made billionaire Sara Blakely … Once upon a time Blakely was just another struggling entrepreneur. In addition to her blockbuster underwear product and her drive, she was armed with a profound idea inherited from her father, an advocate of acclaimed life coach Wayne Dyer. The idea: ...
“Appreciating one’s daily and weekly failures is not a means of encouraging it; rather, it’s a way of learning from failure and developing thicker skin so that you aren’t paralyzed into future inactivity due to fear of failure or the unknown,” she said.
“When my mentor coach first said this to me over the phone, I asked her to repeat it three times,” Downey said.
Tormentors are all-knowing, all-controlling, arrogant to the tenth degree, super-demanding and impossible to please. Because her parents always demanded the best and never praised Downey as a child, she sought love from sociopaths and narcissists as an adult.
What do women really want? This is a question that has surely vexed government policy-makers since they first decided to replace Labor’s existing maternity leave scheme (18 weeks’ minimum wage payment) with a more lavish Coalition version (26 weeks’ worth of salary replacement up to $150,000 per annum – later capped at...
It is surely vexing them even at this moment. as they scramble to trade the now-defunct scheme for a vaguely-defined ‘families package’.
It’s a question that preoccupies me, too. As my children have become self-sufficient – my oldest child embarked on her own post-university career just last week – I’ve reflected increasingly on the choices I made as a young, professional mother, my idealism at the time, and the advice I would give my own daughters shou...
I’m the product of the same imperfect system we’re still saddled with today, where a working woman who chooses motherhood sets off unwittingly down a path that will drastically alter not just her body and psyche but her career as well. Unconsciously – for how can the expectant mother possibly intuit the upheaval that a...
The rewards of parenthood are immeasurable. But the price that women pay when they become mothers is unjust: lost opportunities for those who’ve taken a break to care for their children; promotional opportunities withheld by employees who believe childcare responsibilities preclude mothers from working high level jobs;...
Short of building nurseries alongside their offices, equipping them with full-time nannies and returning to work weeks after the birth, as did Yahoo’s CEO Marissa Mayer, women have very little hope of getting through motherhood with their careers unscathed. For this reason, an efficient and fair maternity leave scheme ...
But while such policy forms the backbone of a progressive society in which mothers’ contribution to the workforce is valued, the dearth of quality, affordable childcare still prevents many of them from returning to work. While women’s organisations have long demanded an expansion of affordable childcare services in Aus...
That child rearing remains an exclusively female responsibility – that the slack must be taken up by someone, and that someone will almost certainly be yet another woman – seemed to be lost even on Marie Coleman, chair of the National Foundation for Australian Women Social Policy Committee, when discussing the link bet...
‘If we can get our minds around how to make childcare services more affordable and flexible for the women who work shifts, we’d be doing a lot of very hard-working women a great favour,” she said.
And what of the women who must step into the breach by caring for these hard-working women’s children? What of the women who are trying not to progress their careers but to merely earn a living wage? And what of the mothers who decide to forsake paid work and take on the childcare role themselves, thus saving the gover...
It’s a conundrum that will never be easily resolved. Men and women want children; children must be cared for; a flourishing economy depends on women in the workforce; employers want workers who aren’t distracted by other responsibilities, such as children; but still, children must be cared for. The problem will stay wi...
Thinking back to the 14 years I spent out of the workforce raising my children I can say this: it was a time, for me, when the importance of working outside the home faded and a time also of budgeting where every dollar was important. That is a personal perspective. When I look at my two daughters juggling raising chil...
I agree with Catherine Marshall that there are many issues facing families raising young children. My wife and I were lucky enough to be able to have one of us home for both our children. Things were tight with only one income, but we got by. However, I disagree entirely with her that it is the government's responsibil...
My daughter was a fully qualified childcare worker, loved babies and children, was very, very good at her job .... and gave it up after a few short years. She joined the public service and her "training wage" was more than she got paid when she was in charge of a childcare centre. Basically, career women were ripping h...
This is a difficult issue. Our children, in our case grandchildren, are the mature citizens of tomorrow. We want them to be open minded people of justice. Each family needs to take responsibility for their own children in the way that they can afford. Sacrifices need to be made by both parents. It doesn't hurt children...
When we married more than 50 years ago, my wife and I decided mutually that she should give up her career and plan for motherhood at home. We had two reasons for this decision. My salary was sufficient to support my family; the ideal concept of father working, mother at home raising children appeared to us to be in lin...
Some great points in this article. One option that should be considered is the model of income splitting that has been introduced in Canada. It reduces the tax burden and enables some women to have the choice of whether to stay at home or go back to work. Most women don't have that choice now and that is where the cost...
"..child rearing remains an exclusively female responsibility..." This inane statement immediately renders this entire article irrelevant and self-centred and betrays a complete lack of understanding of what parenthood means. If women don't wish to involve themselves in parenthood, don't have a child. If you have a chi...
Every family I reckon will have a different take on the pros and cons of subsidised childcare. Catherine tells her story in a way that many professional women in their 40s and 50s could identify with. My family of origin had one wage earner - my father, a carpenter by trade. He only ever had one suit, never owned a car...
Men want children too, so policies need to address the needs of all parties. The family approach. Let's not entrench sexism with a narrow discussion about one gender: rather, consider how the family unit can be encouraged to achieve balance.
Having been widowed and brought up 2 tiny children on my own, I have many stories and thoughts on the way women and children are treated. My daughter’s saddest encounter was at a Father and Daughter dinner when one of the fathers asked her: “What could possibly be more important to your father than being here?” She rep...
I don't understand why women have children and want another woman or women to care for that child. I wonder what is meant by 'motherhood.'' Could it not be the most rewarding of all careers?Does not having a baby bring with it some responsibility? Government help with child care, may be less of a burden on the economy ...
My attention has been drawn to the comments about my recent (brief) RN interview in the above article. Wdere Ms Marchall to have spent any effort familiarising herself with the work of NFAW, and myself, on this topic, including submissions to the Productivity Commission, she would have known that we are strong supporte...
I am also torn as to what to advise my daughters, who are young professionals. To be honest I regret staying home for 14 years to raise my three children. However, I did have a disabled child and that made it nearly impossible to get good care for him. I missed my career and the mental stimulation terribly. I lost my i...
Also to Father John George, why are you only speaking of mothers responsibilities where the care of children are concerned? It's time Fathers shared the load equally.
The world's best big-wave surfers gathered in Hawaii on Sunday to brave 60-foot walls of water in a first of its kind competition.
Competitors at the first-ever Pe'ahi Challenge on Maui took on the raw power of the ocean - and each other - as part of the World Surf League's Big-Wave Tour.
Billy Kemper claimed top prize in the competition ahead of his best friend and fellow Hawaiian Albee Layer by successfully navigating the monster curls, though some fared less well and wiped out.
Previous big wave surfers have died pursuing the largest possible waves, and participants train themselves to hold their breath for minutes in case they go under.
In the competition riders also had flotation devices that could be deployed if the were stuck beneath a wave for too long, according to Grind TV.
Australian surfer Mark Mathews was taken to the hospital before the competition even started, when he wiped out and was pushed under by three successive waves.
He fractured and dislocated his shoulder, but said he was 'really stoked it wasn't worse though'.
The inaugural Pe'ahi event featured even larger than normal waves because of an El Niño-induced swell that hit Maui over the weekend.
While some competitions see competitors taken by Jet Ski to the waves, though at Pe'ahi they paddled to over to a surf break called 'Jaws' known for producing spectacular rides.
This year was the first time a competition had been held at the surf spot, which famously featured in the beginning of the James Bond movie Die Another Day.
Kemper scored an 8.0 out of 10 on his first wave of the finals, which when added to his second 6.77 wave and doubled because it was his best wave, gave him a winning score of 22.77.
Layer's 19.33 came in second ahead of big-wave surfing legend and Californian Greg Long, who topped Kemper with a 8.13 wave but could not catch a second ride.
The winner also tops the tour's season rankings, with his victory putting him above last year's champion, Hawaiian Makuakai Rothman.
Kemper said he was 'blown away' by the win and dedicated it to his brother.
The South African National Road Agency Limited (Sanral) is trying to duck legal action against it over the e-tolling system, the Democratic Alliance (DA) said on Thursday.
“It seems that Sanral will try any trick in the book to avoid legal attempts to expose its unpopular urban highway tolls as illegal,” DA Gauteng transport spokesperson Neil Campbell said in a statement.
He said the parties were to have met at the National Consumer Commission (NCC) on Thursday morning but the DA was notified by the commission at 4pm on Wednesday that Sanral had cancelled.
“Last week, Sanral did not arrive in time for the meeting and on being contacted by the NCC, stated that they had not been informed of the meeting,” he said.
According to Campbell, the reasons given included that Sanral wanted to meet with the NCC before the hearing and that the matter was sub-judice because of impending legal action by the Opposition to Urban Tolls Alliance.
Sanral had also said it had not had time to draft a response, although a response was received by the DA from Sanral at the end of January.
“The short notice given to the NCC and the DA demonstrates that the arrogant attitude of Sanral continues unabated,” said Campbell.
He said the matter gave strength to the public boycott of e-tags which the DA continued to endorse as it was a legitimate consumer protest.
Meanwhile, Sanral said it was engaging with the NCC about complaints related to its terms and conditions.
“This engagement is not only about the concerns of the DA but also those raised by other parties. We respect and take the concerns raised seriously,” the agency said in response to the DA’s complaint.
It was necessary to first conclude these matters and then address the issues raised by all complainants, rather than just the limited issues of an individual complaint.
“While there are other reasons why the conciliation meeting is not appropriate, we believe that the outcome of Sanral’s ongoing engagement with the NCC will take into account the DA’s concerns and that a conciliation meeting at this stage may be premature,” it said.
Filmed in Karaj, Iran and New York City, Songs of Hope explores the life and music of Kayhan Kalhor, a master of the kamancheh, or Persian spike fiddle. The love he showed for the instrument as a child led him to the life as a prodigy who left Iran in 1981 after the 1979 Islamic Revolution so he could continue his musi...
Astronomers have discovered what they believe could be "the first astronomical observing tool", used by humans 6,000 years ago to observe the stars.
The tomb's design suggests it may have "enhanced what early human cultures could see in the night sky" and a single aperture, such as a window or doorway, can affect the observation of stars, the team found.
The study was focused on passage graves at Carregal do Sal in Portugal, a "type of megalithic tomb composed of a chamber of large interlocking stones and a long narrow entrance". The light from stars would then have been observed by a group of humans who had been "initiated" into what they believed was a sacred practic...
"The orientations of the tombs may be in alignment with Aldebaran, the brightest star in the constellation of Taurus," said Fabio Silva, who worked on the project. "To accurately time the first appearance of this star in the season, it is vital to be able to detect stars during twilight."
"We argue that the restricted viewing through the grave passage out of the passage grave allows the viewer to note the appearance of Aldebaran much earlier," co-author Daniel Brown told WIRED.
"Here the passage acts to preserve dark adaptation of the eye as twilight during sunrise. Therefore a viewer in the grave would note the star with a brighter sky. So the passage grave act as a viewing enhancement beyond a pure pointer."
"Our work explores how 6,000-year-old passage graves have helped a viewer to spot stars during twilight conditions. You might say this is the oldest instrument to assist a stone age observer."
Other ancient tombs had similar functions – an ancient Mayan observatory was recently found to have been used to track Venus and Mars. The building was "a multifunctional facility" that tracked Venus and Mars through doors and windows in the structure.
The sighting of particular stars would have been seen as a seasonal marker, and would also have been perceived as spiritually significant.
The discovery was presented at the National Astronomy Meeting in Nottingham.
