SHOOT: Her grandfather said the person on television accused on the crime was not the same person as his granddaughter. Is this an indication of inherited schizophrenia or is he suggesting there is a Melissa Huckaby lookalike who is also a Sundayschool teacher walking around? Huckaby's crimes are dead serious - serious enough to warrant the possibility of the death penalty\ in California.
Huckaby was arraigned Tuesday on one count of murder with the special circumstances of rape with a foreign object, lewd or lascivious conduct with a child under 14 and murder in the course of a kidnapping. She cried as the judge read the charges, and did not enter a plea.
The special circumstances mean Huckaby, if convicted, could face life in prison without the possibility of parole or the death penalty. District Attorney James Willett said he has not decided whether to seek the death penalty.
Huckaby's grandfather, Pastor Clifford Lawless, was interviewed the night Sandra's body was recovered, and police took computers and a phone from his home, where Huckaby also lived. Police haven't said what was seized from the church.
Huckaby told a reporter Friday the suitcase that contained Sandra's body was hers, but it had been stolen out of her driveway the day Sandra disappeared. Police arrested her later that night.
