Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell just changed things up with their child endangerment court case.
(It is an understatement to say that this court case is not Joseph’s biggest legal issue at present, as he is accused of sexually abusing a 9-year-old girl.)
Just hours before their scheduled court date, they withdrew their respective not guilty pleas.
What does this mean?
What are Joseph and Kendra’s new pleas?
People reports that Joseph and Kendra withdrew their pleas of not guilty on Monday, August 10.
Instead, they submitted a “plea by order” to the court and were able to avoid the hearing.
Presumably, this means that Joseph and Kendra plan to either plead guilty or to plead no contest to the charges.
The judge will need to review the case and the couple’s updated response to the charges, and then determine what penalty they may face.
For Joseph and Kendra, that could mean up to eight years in prison. Though perhaps they hope to get off with a lesser sentence, such as a fine, by throwing themselves upon the mercy of the court.
The pleas are for the Arkansas case involving four counts of second-degree endangering the welfare of a minor and four counts of false imprisonment.
Kendra’s arrest followed Joseph’s ostensibly unrelated arrest for allegedly molesting a 9-year-old.
Authorities performed an automatic search of their home, and whatever they discovered there was enough for eight charges against both parents.
A source close to the Duggars claimed that this was due to the locks on the children’s doors, which allowed them to be sealed in their rooms like prisoners.
However, the obviously biased source is not reliable. No one has been able to confirm what authorities may have actually found inside the home of the cult members.
How does this change things?
The Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette shared a legal detail about Joseph and Kendra’s plea by order.
Apparently, this change means that their case can be diverted by up to a full year.
The local newspaper spoke to the court, who confirmed that cases against Joe and Kendra will remain open.
As a reminder, Kendra gained permission to see her four children despite the charges against her.
However, the court very sensibly denied Joseph’s request for unsupervised visits.
Remember, though Joseph Duggar and Kendra Caldwell are facing the same charges in Arkansas, he alone is also facing charges in Florida.
In 2020, he allegedly molested a 9-year-old girl. We do not know her identity (nor should we), only that she is not one of his own children and does not appear to be a Duggar.
Her father recently learned of it and confronted Joseph, leading to his reported confession. He actually confessed twice, the second time being to a detective, according to an affidavit.
In light of these reported confessions, his legal strategy remains murky, as he pleaded not guilty in the Florida case, too.
It would be nice if his upcoming plea with Kendra is a harbinger of things to come with his other case. Right now, there are fears that the victim — who is in her early teens — might have to testify in court.
If Joseph’s legal strategy is to convince prosecutors to offer him a more generous deal to avoid putting her through that … well, that’s an awful thought.

We have tragic news to report from the world of social media.
Chandler David Hendry, a popular Mormon YouTuber and podcaster, has died at the age of 27.
Hendry was killed in a three-vehicle crash in Lehi, Utah, on Friday, August 7, according to police.
The tragic accident occurred at approximately 8:25 am.
According to a Lehi police spokesperson, witnesses reported that Hendry ran a red light and collided with two other vehicles.
The occupants of those vehicles were not seriously injured.
Hendry was not wearing a seat belt at the time of the crash. He was transported to a local hospital, where he was pronounced dead.
The investigation into the circumstances surrounding the crash remains ongoing.
Hendry’s death was particularly heartbreaking for those who followed his religious content because of what he had shared online just hours earlier.
A member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Hendry founded the Restored Truth podcast and built a significant following by discussing his faith, scripture, and Christian history.
He had more than 70,000 followers across his social media presence, according to the New York Post.
Earlier on the day of the crash, Hendry had attended the FAIR Conference in Lehi.
His final Instagram video was a reflection on something presented at that event: an illustration depicting the afterlife and the eternal connection between families.
“That is what the eternities will look like,” Hendry said in the video. “A link of the family unit of God.”
The post has taken on an especially poignant meaning following his unexpected death.
Hendry, who was affectionately known as “Chuck,” was also preparing to help young members of his church who were getting ready to serve missions.
An event he had organized went ahead following his death and became an impromptu memorial, with family members and friends sharing memories of the young religious creator.
His father, Chad, recalled that his son had not always been comfortable with public speaking. When Hendry was asked to speak as a high school senior, his father said, he initially refused.
That changed after Hendry’s first mission in Jackson, Mississippi.
“You will speak in the name of Christ and teach the gospel of Jesus Christ,” Hendry was told, according to his father.
Tributes have poured in from people who knew Hendry personally as well as those who followed his work online.
His sister, Chaleigh Rowley, remembered her brother as someone who had been present for important moments throughout her life.
“Thank you for loving me through all these phases of life we both endured,” she said. “Thank you for being at all my important milestones.” She added that his “light here on this earth will be missed.”
His wife, AnaLynn, also paid tribute to Hendry following his death.
“He was the best person that I knew,” she said. “I felt God’s love for me through him every single day.”
Hendry died just weeks before his second wedding anniversary.
A candlelight vigil was held in his memory on Monday, August 10, as loved ones and followers continued to mourn his sudden death.
Our condolences go out to all of Chandler David Hendry’s loved ones during this enormously difficult time.
