Responding to a post in the last thread, about Paul Grice:
ETA: clicking the link takes you to a different post than the one that shows in the window.
I was thinking, the April 3 witness statement by CW is good as probable cause for an arrest warrant, but not necessarily enough to convict.
It was 11 days after that, that they made the arrests.
Perhaps that was the first info LE received about Grice, and they decided to target him for a deal.
That's especially how the FBI work: find the weakest link in the conspiracy, hustle them off under cover, confront them with how bad the situation is, get them to agree to cooperate, which often means becoming an informant -eg they agree to set up meetings or phone calls that will collect recorded evidence from the perps, admitting their own guilt.
So, his involvement may be crucial at the trial - but since bail is still an issue, they're keeping him out of view.

OK - OK, Veronica Butler 27 & Jilian Kelley 39, Vehicle Abandoned, Texas County, 30 Mar 2024 #3 *Arrests*
Not an expert but cattle are sometimes moved via use of prods while stun gun for civilian use are smaller and the non LE versions are not as powerful. I didn’t see which one TA purchased. Did she purchase a cattle prod or a civilian version of a stun gun? MOO Good answer. Pic of cattle prod
