DH claims he didn't get a certain item in Discovery, NMcL says it was sent in an email. He goes to find the email to prove it, but can't find it. So, NMcL says to the judge that he can't find it but it exists. End of story.
Just like the lost interviews aren't important because he says so. I mean, I'm not saying he's wrong, but I'm also not okay with just taking the State's word for it.
Why can we cut down every word the D has ever said, even when they attach exhibits that we can't see, but ignore the State's claims without any supporting evidence at all? I know I'm overstating it, but that's the feeling I get.
I understand the anti-D sentiments, but how does that negate the problems on the State's side? I wish I had legal training so I knew what the hell was going on. I don't feel things are working entirely as they should be. I tend to wonder if there will be more contempt motions filed after the trial, only against the State (at the very least the ex parte issue, but maybe others). IDK.
It was/ is the job of LE to bring the murderer of Abby and Libby to justice.
Early in the investigation, I assume that they interviewed dozens, maybe even hundreds of people.
The Klines were looked at, the Vinlanders were looked at, and many others as well.
I know that a lot of people have settled on the group that were involved in Norse worship. I think that LE entertained the idea for a short period of time... But, the group had alibi's that checked out. They couldn't find anything that would link them to the crime.
Can we look at that group for a minute? I know that some people really want EF to be "that guy". I know that he said some things that made him potentially look guilty. But let's break that down a little.
His claims were that he "was on the bridge with the girls " . He says that he "gave Abby horns because she was annoying." He said he " spit on the girls." Never once did he say that he was the killer. He never claimed to stab or cut the girls. He never said that he witnessed his brothers place sticks on the bodies.
If he was recruited to be a part of this group, do you REALLY believe that PW and BH are going to let EF tag along and risk this man telling anyone that would listen that he and his " new brothers" went into the woods to kill 2 innocent kids? He has some severe intellectual disabilities, why would they risk him leaving evidence that would point to this group? I don't see them NOT beating the living daylights out of him once word got out that he was spilling his guts to his sisters and LE. Heck, he probably wouldn't be alive today if there was truth to what he was saying. They left him alone because they had PROOF as to their whereabouts and they knew that EF had nothing to back up his stories.
Why aren't we concerned about anyone else ( the dozens, perhaps hundreds) of other interviews? My thoughts, we aren't worried because they are NOT exculpatory.
EBM to add, the perceived bias against the Defense is because of the amount of drama and misinformation that they have spread.
LE has made way too many mistakes, for sure, but one thing is sure: there was no rush to justice, there was no need for them to fabricate anything.
I personally wish this had come to a conclusion earlier, but nothing takes away from any evidence that points to RA being the killer.
