Any adult that was alone with a child that died, you wouldn't expect him or her to go about their normal day and just start, you know, taking the trash out or in this situation burning trash. You just wouldn't expect that type of behavior.

And there are a lot of missing things. They never find the onesie that Logan was in. They never find his diaper. And there was a bottle cap found in Billy's trailer home, but they never found the bottle. So we think he burned all this stuff.

We have a baby who's passed away. We have very suspicious behavior after the fact, burning trash. We have DNA evidence, these catastrophic injuries, a story that doesn't make sense. And as you start putting all these pieces together, everything ultimately points directly to Billy Palaszczuk.

No one wants to rush to an arrest and heaven forbid, one of the worst things that can happen is someone is wrongfully accused. When we indict or charge someone with a crime like this, we wanna make sure Everyone's been interviewed. All of the medical evidence has been reviewed. All of the forensic testing has been done or been submitted to be tested.

You want to make sure everything's been done so that you are confident that you have charged the right suspect and certainly as a prosecutor that you are prosecuting the individual that committed this crime.

You know, when someone is charged with a crime, the case doesn't automatically go to trial. That person will appear in court for what we call a docket call, maybe about once a month or thereabouts. At one of the docket calls in court, Billy Ploschek, he was in custody and he actually attempted to escape.

He broke a window in the courtroom and the local county attorney and the assistant county attorney were witnesses to this attempted escape.

For purposes of capital murder, if you intentionally or knowingly caused the death of a child, that is a capital murder. Obviously, we have to prove this was not an accident, that it was a criminal act. And when I meet with these families, I always tell them two things. I say, look, be patient with the process. These cases can take a long time.

I think our biggest hurdle was, I guess, really two things. Being able to put all of this information together in a cohesive way for a jury. Because it is very complicated. And so I think one of the first challenges we have is... Helping a jury understand all of this medical evidence, being able to convey to them the timeline and why that's so critical in a case like this.
