Amy Duggar Is Praying for ‘Justice’ Ahead of Verdict in Josh Duggar Trial
Amy Duggar King hopes justice is served in the Josh Duggar trial.
Josh, 33, is currently on trial in federal court in Arkansas on two counts of receiving and possessing child pornography. Jury deliberations in the case began Dec. 8.
As members of the public and the Duggar family wait for a verdict, Amy is sharing her thoughts on social media. And she’s making it clear exactly where she stands.
Amy Duggar speaks out about the Duggar family
Josh’s cousin Amy occasionally appeared on the family’s canceled TLC series 19 Kids and Counting. The 35-year-old often weighs in on issues related to her controversial extended family. She has also spoken out against some of her cousins.
Amy called out Justin Duggar for his awkward thumbs-up photo outside the Fayetteville, Ark. courthouse on Dec. 2. “Where is the respect?” she asked in a tweet.
In a recent Instagram update, she said she and her mother Deanna Duggar had been told a “completely different story” about previous molestation allegations against Josh. She has also spoken on social media about trying to get out of a non-disclosure agreement she signed. That would presumably allow her to speak more freely about her famous family.
Amy Duggar urges prayer ahead of Josh Duggar verdict
While the NDA seems to prevent Amy from speaking in more detail about the rest of the Duggar family, she is still sharing her opinions on Josh’s trial. In an Instagram Story shared on Dec. 8, she urged people to keep the victims of the child sexual abuse material Josh allegedly downloaded in mind.
“Stop & PRAY today that there is Justice for the CHILDREN,” she wrote.
She also replied to a tweet from her cousin Jill Duggar’s husband Derick Dillard. “Praying as well,” she wrote. “Lord may justice be served ice cold.”
Derick Dillard spoke out about Josh Duggar on Twitter
Amy is not the only member of the extended Duggar family who has spoken out about Josh. Though Derick remained quiet on social media throughout most of the trial, he took to Twitter on Tuesday morning to share a message.
“Praying for justice this morning,” he wrote. Derick’s wife Jill has identified herself as one of the girls Josh molested when he was a teenager. The couple is now estranged from some members of her family.
While a number of members of the Duggar family have been in attendance at the week-long trial, they have mostly avoided speaking to the media. But on Dec. 7 Josh’s father Jim Bob Duggar gave a brief statement to KNWA.
“We just want the truth to come out and we appreciate your prayers for our family,” he said (via Twitter).
