Deadheads are good with me!Sorry @steeltowngirl! I didn't mean to imply that you personally expected an answer from me. I just don't think anyone necessarily has to be tied to any particular theory, pro defense or pro prosecution.
I really don't have an opinion on the defense motive on that issue. Maybe they learned something we aren't privy to through more informal investigation. The purpose of a Franks motion, as you know, is to contest the validity of the arrest warrant. At the time of the first, they may have entertained that theory, and moved on to another or a more specific theory. In my opinion, they included the theory to give context as to why they felt the affidavit was misleading.
At the end of the day, none of us here knows the actual facts of the case to a certainty, and my only reasoning for speaking about the Holocaust was to illustrate that it isn't out of the realm of possibility that a white supremacist would kill another white person. It does occur, and it doesn't necessarily need to be tied to ritual at all. For all I know, white supremacists may require a ritual for their own interpretation of their religion. I'm not a white supremacist, just an old Deadhead lawyer, so I have no knowledge at all of their practices. B & R likely didn't either going into this trial, so I don't expect them to be experts on the matter.
We will learn in time, I feel.
Lawyers… not so much.
But no time for lawyer jokes now.
I have a mob to look after.
