This case is getting stranger and stranger by the day. When Kimberly Smith's case was called this morning in Judge Prather's courtroom, a woman I thought was Kimberly did not approach the bench. Usually, you would expect to hear the attorney say something like, "Mrs. Smith is present in the courtroom and approaching, your honor" or, if the defendant has already reached the bench and was standing alongside her attorney, "Mrs. Smith is present, your honor." I didn't hear either.
Nor did the woman in the front row stand and move forward. Nor was she summoned.
According to VINELink records (http://www.vinelink.com/), Smith was released from custody on Friday. She was supposed to be in court today. I think she was. But why didn't Judge Prather haul her up to the front of the courtroom?
When Smith filled out the financial forms for a public defender, she recorded that she had $20 in the bank and $600 in cash. Where did the other $900 come from, so she could bond out last Friday?
An order was entered last Friday allowing release of her wallet and any money in her vehicle (in the Sheriff's custody) to her sister, Kristine Holian. But a later order, also last Friday, stayed that order "until further order of the Court." Did the sister get the money before the Sheriff heard about the stay?
Did the money in her vehicle get inventoried and inspected for fingerprints before it was turned over to Kristine, if it was?
Smith is under a May 30th Firearms Surrender and No Contact Order. If she was released on Friday, did she surrender her firearms before Sunday to the Sheriff? And she is not allowed contact with her husband, Timothy Smith, who is still in custody.
Does Smith have a FOID card? Does Timothy Smith have a FOID card? Whose gun was used on May 29 to shoot Kurt Milliman?
So that this article doesn't get too long, see the next article for a reason the case against Kimberly Smith might start to fall apart.

Your convoluted questions and speculations in this column remove any doubt that you are insane. why don't you get a life?
What if she didn't have any firearms to surrender? Was she required to go out and buy one and THEN surrender it you moron?
Hallie, if Kimberly Smith had no firearms, why was she ordered to surrender them?
