The fight is far from over. The casualties are definitely the children as well as LaToya. The prosecutor’s lies are destroying any chance of the children having a relationship with their paternal side. When they hear the truth of what happened it could be too late to repair relationships.

They purposely left LaToya locked up knowing they were going to change the charges and restart the clock. Violating her rights to put on a defense. Now they are using false claims that video on a ring camera in a completely different room from the incident was erased. They are also putting out a false narrative that the video is activated by sound on ring. Everyone who has ring cameras knows that is false. It is baffling why they are going so hard to railroad an innocent victim of domestic violent. Is someone getting paid off? Curtis’ family is rich. Someone should follow the money.

When will a domestic violent victim who’s husband only gave her 2 choices when trying to get a divorce, let him kill her and the kids (the classic ‘If I can’t have you, no one will’) or go to jail?

We have to do better for domestic violence victims. 

Also looking to sue for civil rights violations in this case.

Stand with LaToya Crabbe and her 2nd Amendment Rights to protect herself and her kids in HER home from an attacker (who is a convicted violent felon) with a weapon. LaToya who is a law abiding citizen with not even a parking ticket and was in the military until forced to resign due to the unfair incarceration.

“Mommy! Mommy! I Missed You!” – LaToya Crabbe’s Tearful Reunion with Her Children Four Months After Being Jailed

Alan Gloss

LaToya Crabbe, the Manasas woman accused of shooting and killing her estranged husband, Curtis Crabbed,  was released from jail on Friday, February 21, 2025. At the county jail, she had an emotional reunion with her mother, Marilyn Martin, who patiently waited for officials to release her from the lockup she’d been in since being charged on October 21, 2024. 

A short time later, at home, Crabbe waited anxiously for her three children, whom she had not seen in four months, to come home from school. “I’m relieved to be back home, but I’m still anxious about the pending trial,” she said. “The most important thing for me is to hug and kiss my babies right now.”

When the children arrived home, they were stunned to see their mother. Their shock quickly turned into excitement as they ran to embrace her. “Mommy! Mommy! I missed you!” one exclaimed. Each child clamored for her attention, eager to share details of their school day.

After the tear-filled reunion, Crabbe immediately resumed their after-school routine. First, though, she fulfilled a promise she had made over the phone to her four-year-old daughter—painting her nails as they sat together for the first time in months.

Crabbe knows that this reunion may be short-lived. Although the prosecution agreed to let Crabbe out on bond, once the trial secures a new indictment, she may be sent back to jail as her speedy trial clock resets with the new charge. “I’m just going to enjoy the time with my babies right now,” Crabbe said as she pushed the thought of going back to jail and the anxiety of the pending trial to the back of her mind.

Earlier that day, Prince William County Circuit Court Judge Carroll A. Weimer Jr. heard arguments in the murder case. The defense requested that the charges be dismissed and bond Crabbe. Her attorneys argue she acted in self-defense when she shot and killed her husband in her mother’s Manassas home, where she was living with her children, stating that Curtis had cornered her in a small bedroom while holding an Italian stiletto knife. They also presented text messages in which Curtis had previously threatened to harm the family.

In the courtroom, about 30 family and friends of both Crabbe and Curtis filled the courtroom. The numbers were equally split between both sides; Curtis’ family wore buttons with his photo on them, and Crabbe supporters wore matching purple t-shirts emblazoned with her name and image with the words “End Domestic Violence.”   

“If there was ever a clearer case to demonstrate bad faith, it’s this one, your honor. [The prosecution says] they acted in a timely manner; but that’s the problem, they haven’t acted at all. They haven’t moved to continue, they haven’t moved to [dismiss]. They’ve done nothing. They just sat on it while my client continues to sit in jail,” said Defense Blake Weiner.

Prosecutor D. Burke Walker announced plans to pursue a first-degree murder charge, citing new evidence that Crabbe had allegedly logged into her Ring camera account after the shooting, deleted videos, and then removed the app from her phone.

Daughtery reinforced the defense’s position, stating, “I’ve been here 17 years, and I’ve seen a lot of different ways the prosecution does shady things. But this time I can prove their bad faith. I dare either one of them to look you in the eye and tell you that they didn’t tell me, even at the time of the indictment, that they had no intention to move forward with the case. Because they can’t.”

Walker did not admit that prosecutors had no intention of moving forward before the indictment. Instead, he said, “We have a different recollection [of the conversation].”

Judge Weimer expressed concern over the prosecution’s handling of the case. “I’m troubled by the fact that you told the defense you weren’t going to move forward but didn’t [dismiss the case] immediately,” he said. 

Addressing Walker, the judge continued, “How do you, in good faith, keep a defendant in jail if you know you are not going to move forward with the case? You don’t have to keep someone in jail [between charges]; police arrest people for felonies all the time.” He told prosecutors before admonishing them, “This certainly doesn’t look good.”

Judge Weimer denied the motion to dismiss but granted Crabbe a personal recognizance bond, allowing her to be released that day. She is scheduled for trial on March 3, where prosecutors intend to drop the second-degree murder charge and refile with a first-degree charge. Crabbe’s next court date is March 3rd.

Today the defense lawyers argued that the prosecutors were not dealing in good faith. The defense filed for dismissal. Dismissal was denied. But the prosecutors offered bond of $10,000 and an ankle monitor.

The prosecutors will file and be heard on Thursday February 27 to drop the 2nd degree murder charges. But they plan to charge her  with 1st degree saying that ring footage (does not cover the area of the incident) was erased so that shows premeditation. 

Update on LaToya’s pre-trial hearing today: 

At the court hearing, prosecutors requested a delay in the March trial while opposing LaToya’s release. They stated their intent to not prosecute ‘Noelle Prosequi’ but did not want to file charges immediately, as doing so would require LaToya’s release. Instead, they plan to file the motion on March 3, the current trial date, to serve a warrant to LaToya while she remains incarcerated.

The prosecution alleges LaToya erased two hours of Ring camera footage between 12:59 PM and 2:38 PM, during which the incident occurred. However, those familiar with Ring cameras know they record only when motion is detected. The prosecution appears to be using this claim to justify delaying the trial and has now escalated the charge from second-degree to first-degree murder, citing the allegedly erased footage as evidence.

LaToya’s attorney successfully filed two motions to be heard on Friday, February 21, at 1 PM—one to dismiss the charges and another to request bond. The prosecution previously offered LaToya a plea deal: dropping the gun charge in exchange for pleading to second-degree murder with a sentence of up to 15 years. Given the new first-degree charge, it is suspected they may offer another second-degree plea with a reduced sentence, possibly around seven years, as a pressure tactic.

Despite this, LaToya has no intention of accepting a plea deal, understanding that the legal process may extend her incarceration for up to three years before trial. We remain hopeful while acknowledging the risks of delay tactics.

The incident happened in a completely different room.

Who knows how I sue them prosecutorial abuse.

We have added another attorney to our team. We hoping the 2 together can help bring justice for LaToya. 

The attorney’s name is Blake Weiner.

https://blakeweinerlaw.com/

We appreciate any financial assistance our supporters can provide. We are a little shy of $100,000 in legal costs.

We are considering our options to sue for violating LaToya’s basic rights. Denying her bond, thus preventing her from mounting a legal defense. By not granting bond, they monitor ALL her communications including with the attorney. They deny her in person visits with her attorney only providing video visit where it has to be trusted that they don’t monitor it. That is not a trust earned.

She is innocent, so the only communication they hear is that it was self defense and she was saving her life and that of her children’s. However, the process is violating her rights.

As time goes on, I am getting a real education in Domestic Violence.

The text sent, two days before LaToya had to save her life and that of her kids, is textbook Domestic Violence.

Despite the many obstacles faced by victims, people continue to ask “why don’t they just leave?” It is time for us to change the dialogue. Instead of placing the burden on the victim to get out of the abusive relationship, it is time that we shift the focus to the person responsible – the abusive partner. Instead of asking why the victims will not leave, it is time that we ask instead, “why do people abuse and why is it allowed to continue?”

Characteristics of victims and perpetrators

Who Are the Victims?

Victims of domestic violence can belong to any socioeconomic, ethnic or racial group.

* Old and young, female and male, gay and straight.

* Abuse may affect their ability to get or keep a job, maintain contact with friends and family, and develop connections within their communities.

* Domestic violence may have long term effects on a person’s physical and emotional well being.

Who Are the Perpetrators?

Perpetrators also belong to any socioeconomic, ethnic or racial group.

* Old and young, female and male, gay and straight.

* They may have been abused as children or witnessed a parent or other family member being abused.

* Exhibit a pattern of jealous and controlling behavior that isolates, threatens, and frightens their partner.

* May see their partner as central to their existence.

* Can be violent only within the abusive relationship.

B. Power and Control Techniques

Physical violence is the most typical form of abuse associated with domestic violence. However, victims suffer many types of abuse at the hands of their partners. Sexual coercion and assault are frequently part of the dynamics of a violent relationship. In addition, the power and control tactics described below reflect the common experiences of many victims of relationship violence. These tactics are used by perpetrators of domestic violence to maintain power and control over their partners.

This Power & Control Wheel (below) shows the kinds of behavior perpetrators use to gain and maintain control over their victim. Domestic violence abuse is never an accident. It is an intentional act used to gain control over the other person. Physical abuse is only one part of a whole series of behaviors an abuser uses against his/her victim. Violence is never an isolated behavior.

Coercion And Threats

The perpetrator may threaten to harm the victim, victim’s children, other family members or family pet. They may also force the victim to engage in acts against her/his will or threaten to turn the victim into the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the Internal Revenue service or some other government agency. Threats of suicide by the perpetrator are also very common.

Using Children

Perpetrators may use the children to maintain control over the victim of the abuse. The perpetrator may threaten to harm the children or to kidnap them and flee the jurisdiction. Also, the perpetrator may tell the victim that if they leave, they will have abandoned the children and will lose custody forever. The victim can also be made to feel guilty for breaking up the family if she/he leaves the situation.

Subject Line: Advocate for Justice and Fair Treatment in LaToya Crabbe’s Case

Dear Amy Ashworth, Commonwealth’s Attorney,

I am writing to express my concern regarding the case involving LaToya Crabbe who has been denied bond despite compelling evidence that she acted in self-defense against her husband during a violent domestic attack.

As a domestic violence survivor and victim, LaToya Crabbe should not be subjected to punitive measures that disregard the context of her actions and her right to protect herself. The decision to deny bond in this case seems to overlook critical factors, including:

 • Evidence of her husband’s violent behavior, including the attempted use of a knife to cause her harm.

 • Her legitimate fear for her life and her legal right to self-defense under Virginia’s laws.

 • The broader impact this decision has on other survivors of domestic violence, who may feel discouraged from seeking help or protecting themselves out of fear of legal repercussions.

I urge your office to review this case with fairness and compassion and to reconsider the denial of bond. Justice must take into account the circumstances and the rights of individuals who act in self-defense under imminent threat.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I hope that your office will uphold the principles of fairness and justice that are central to your mission.

Sincerely,

[Your Name]

It deeply pains me to see my grandson crying for his mother, unable to understand why she isn’t with him. When I asked him why he was crying, he said he wanted his mom.

I understand the grief and anger of the deceased’s family, but LaToya is being held after defending herself and her children during a dangerous situation where her life was at stake. This tragic outcome is devastating for everyone involved, but it feels as though the system is punishing her for protecting herself and her kids.

If the well-being of the children is truly a priority, I believe it’s worth advocating for LaToya’s release on bond so she can be there for her children during this incredibly difficult time. She can still face trial, but the children are suffering without their mother, and they need her now more than ever.

It’s hard to find the right words to comfort my grandson in moments like this. His pain is so raw, and I wish I could ease it.

He crawled under the table to cry.

The kids spent Christmas without their mom. They decorated gingerbread houses with their aunt after talking to their mom.

They did receive presents and was able to video visit their mom on Christmas Eve. 

Thank everyone again for your support. Hoping the new year will bring her release.

So the prosecutors said that Curtis had 5 wounds. They did not specify if 1 bullet caused multiple injuries, which is what they indicated before. The gun holds 6 in the clip and 1 in the chamber. If he only had 5 wounds and they found 5 casings, if the magazine was full, where did the other 2 bullets go?

is it possible the loaded clip was not full, causing her to reload because the threat was still imminent? I know this is Monday morning quarterbacking but they are twisting things to fit the wrong narrative to say she shot him with malice (if it was malice why did she not empty the second clip) so now we have to go to trial so they can get money if they can get the felony conviction. Let us ruin another female’s life who has gone through Domestic Violence because your office needs money. 

Please enlighten us as to what a woman should do if they find themselves in this situation facing an immediate threat to their life. Do nothing and die, call 911 if you can get to a phone and then die while waiting or use whatever you have available to stop the threat? If she was a trained marksman, she could have done 1 kill shot, but she is not trained and in a fight for your life situation that she did not know was going to occur, she did what most of us would do. You fire wildly to try to stop the threat. You fire not thinking about killing, but firing to stop the threat so you can live the situation alive. Which the situation was her cornered in a small bedroom.

The Preliminary Hearing was held today. The state put on their case. Which is they say LaToya killed Curtis was malice. Their proof was that she shot him 5 times and if the gun holds 7 rounds (6 in the clip and one in the barrel) she reloaded. They found 5 casings and 4 in the clip.

There was no evidence that the 5 wounds were from 5 different bullets. But this is their mini case. If she did shoot him 5 times and and reloaded. She is half his size, cornered in a small room and he is coming at her with a knife threatening to kill her, her children and her mother (me). So she shot him the correct amount of times to stop the immediate threat.

Case goes to a Grand Jury on January 6 and a speedy trial was requested making a court date to be scheduled within 5 months.

https://www.vera.org/news/in-virginia-money-not-justice-drives-prosecution

“It incentivizes all the worst policies of the last 30 years,” State Senator Scott Surovell told the Washington Post. Those practices include:

Overcharging. Because prosecutors only get state funds for prosecuting felonies—and not misdemeanors—they are encouraged to elevate misdemeanor allegations to felonies before eventually pleading them down. “Let’s say somebody comes in and makes an arrest, and I'm looking at it. I'm like, 'this is a misdemeanor all day. . . .' I don't get anything for that [from the Compensation Board],” Descano explained. “But there are some jurisdictions that go, ‘You know, you’re going to get your misdemeanor, but I’m going to indict it as a felony, so it goes up to circuit court and at least I get credit for having a felony defendant.’”

Coercive pleas. Because funding is determined by the quantity of convictions, not the quality of the cases prosecutors assemble, the Compensation Board incentivizes commonwealth’s attorneys to pressure people accused of crimes into pleading guilty, rather than allowing them to exercise their constitutional right to a trial. There are several factors working in their favor to encourage those pleas. First, money bail means that people experiencing poverty are often held in jail while awaiting their trials because they can’t afford to buy their freedom—increasing prosecutors’ leverage in plea negotiations. Second, mandatory minimum sentences further imbalance negotiations, allowing commonwealth’s attorneys to hold high potential prison sentences over people’s heads to expedite a plea. And third, people who insist on their constitutional right to trial face the “trial penalty,” enduring stiffer sentences for the same charge compared to those who pleaded guilty. Taken together, these factors allow prosecutors hoping to pad their budgets to ignore questions of justice or long-term harm and instead focus on short-term volume.

We greatly appreciate the monetary support. We are asking for email and phone support.

How interesting is that a trained police officer killed a man holding a knife. I don’t see him being arrested. This was in Prince William County. 

A mother of 3 who is cornered in a 10 by 15 foot room is not allowed to kill a knife wielding man to save her life and that of her 3 children and mother, but a police officer that has a stunned gun and combat training can. Hmmmm 😮🤷🏽‍♀️

 This Thanksgiving was difficult. I can’t remember the last time I had a Thanksgiving without my daughter LaToya. I am thankful she was able to survive her situation and save me, but I’m frustrated with a legal system that further victimizes her and separates her from her children. These things I know to be true:

-My daughter was forced to defend herself in her own home. 

-My daughter is not a flight risk or danger to the community. I have never even heard her yell. 

-My daughter needs to be home with her children. Our family has already been through enough, my grandkids need their mom.

Please do the phone campaign in the previous update. Thank you.

Judge Kimberly Irving in Prince William Circuit Court denied LaToya request for bond telling the defense attorney Daugherty not to argue the case in bond hearing. Then she turns around and lets the prosecution try the case and then she did not twisted logic to justify her previously wrong ruling.

She argued that if the case was not self defense it puts more weight on LaToya being a danger to the community.  Defense Attorney Daugherty correctly argued that Latoya is only a danger if you come into her house with a weapon and corner her and threaten her life is she a danger to that person. Give me a break. Is someone paying the judge or does she not have enough experience to judge these cases?

Judge Irving’s ruling was confusing and completely wrong.

So we were denied bond again. Even though the information provided by the prosecutor was not factual since he did not have medical examiner’s report. The judge Kimberly Irving applied different criteria’s other than a danger to the community ( LaToya only shot someone that was attacking her with a knife in her home) or a flight risk. LaToya is a rule follower. So she would not flee, also she has 3 small children whose lives she saved, so she would not leave them. 

I need to know who is donating to this judge that she is not doing her job of applying the 2 criteria’s to grant bond.

 I really need help to shine a light on this injustice.

Anyone willing to make phone calls to the people listed below.

The question is to ask how do they support a domestic violence victim that had to take action to save her and her family's lives. And then to be further traumatized by a system where they immediately put her in handcuffs and arrested her when they had not even entered the scene after she told dispatch that she shot him in self defense and then put her in isolation. 

A public servant who has always followed the rules and served her community. 

Why is bond being denied when she meets the criteria of not being a flight risk or a danger to the community.

Case Continued

The state requested a continuance because they did not have a medical report. Which seems strange because during the bond hearing weeks before, they gave the impression that they had the medical report when they tried to act out how Curtis was shot. 

It is very disturbing that they continue to victimize LaToya after going through a trauma of saving her life and that of her kids and her mother. LaToya was immediately arrested at the scene after telling the 911 dispatcher that she shot Curtis in self defense. They put her in handcuffs and read her her rights before they even went to scene where Curtis was shot.

Now they want to punish her for not talking further after putting her in handcuffs. 

We go back to court on December 12.

It appears that the prosecutors of this case is anti-guns. Amy Ashworth is running for Re-election. She is a rabid anti-gun activist. She seems to go hardest against law abiding citizens that use their gun. LaToya is just the latest. Before LaToya, they charged a guy who while armed (VA is an open carry state) took the keys from a drunk driver who had crashed into the man’s car. They charged this man with felony armed robbery despite him not threatening to shoot anyone. 

These are 2 outrageous examples of people being used for politics. Please stand with us and donate what you can. But more importantly please flood the commonwealths email with letter of support for LaToya and this other innocent victim of a rogue justice prosecutor.
