Absolutely. I’m hoping I’m wording this right but I’m curious if she is able to give detail as to what the knowledge-level, experience, etc the person who created this crime scene had in this religion. IE Was it very novice, did it show some advanced understanding, etc. MOO
It is entirely possible RA is making whatever statements verbally and in writing to everyone and their brother, but NOT to his lawyers ya know. Unless he instructs them to find a deal / accept an offer of a deal, they really cannot do this. They take their direction from him. They can't take direction from the rest of his family, the doctors, staff at the facility etc. They can't do anything unless he's in agreement with them, or asks them to. So this may not be a failing on their part IF they believe he is guilty (which they do not seem to - at least to the general public). This may be a game RA is playing. I don't personally think its a game, or that his "confessions" are really valid (yet) as I'm catching up and have not heard what he is meant to have said or to whom, in what context, under what mental conditions etc as yet.
I don’t think this is the right expert for that. She was just testifying about what the crime scene might say about the killers. I think that other experts would have to help fill in the timeline with other evidence. (The issue surrounding the cell phone being turned on at 4 AM and receiving text messages was mentioned)
Is that a factual statement?
As I catch up, I was just wondering, why on earth would someone PHOTOCOPY the disclosure intended for RA? I assume that the disclosure was already a copy made by his lawyers, no? If so, why would anyone need to make a COPY to give RA? Where was the original (sent to RA) then held? By whom? Why?I also would like to make note that the podcaster (when trying to form their narrative) said that the important date surrounding the confessions was his “come to Jesus moment”?
IMO A more important event (MAR 24 I believe) was when the prison received 1,000 pages of discovery, which some person (a trustee? A guard?) photocopied before giving to RA.
This was also the time span that the Dr referred to in her notes as a “psychotic process”.
it was also discussed that other members of the mental health team did see and meet with RA as well. So there is some opportunity to see if others corroborate the notes here.
The Dr said that the prison itself has a policy that a person may not exceed more than 30 days in solitary. The exception is extreme violence. The Dr said “that isn’t Rick”. RA was also diagnosed as “SMI” serious medical. I believe this is the lawsuit regarding IPAS Vs IDOC, and the SMI label, for those who want to read it.
All MOO IMO just my opinion
It is a factual statement that was discussed in the court hearing today. You may refer to the notes that were posted from the reporter who attended the morning session. Holeman will testifying soon and I hope that we receive more information about what evidence he used to create his time of death.
Ty. Does she have some sort of legal timeline she must following in regards to issuing a ruling on these?
Your post made me wonder, under what circumstances would forensics NOT be able to come up with an estimated time of death? I could understand if a body was out in the elements for months, years etc that they may only come up with probably between X year and X year... likely in X months (based on clothing worn by / near a deceased, if such are available). But when a body (in this case LG and AW's bodies) were found so close to the time when they were taken by someone, what would make it hard to guess at a time of death / provide estimate of same?
That I don't know! Maybe someone else who does know can chime in?
I have heard of this outside of this case because inmates were getting letters from friends etc and the pieces of paper had been soaked in K2 or this type of drug. So to stop that, the prison started photocopying all the papers that went through to the inmates.
Respectfully, I've lost track of the initials in this case - I believe RL is the owner of the property where the girls were eventually found? But who might KL be pls and thanks? Any hints appreciated.
I'm very troubled to learn that RA had inmate "companions" assigned to sit outside his cell? What possible training might they have / had (if any) that would enable them to perform this type of work? Does anyone happen to know?
Actually, while I'm here, how were they selected against other possible inmate companions? What made whomever was given this job the perfect candidate? Just curious.
RA worked at CVS - I was just wondering, all the talk of the box cutter that I'm catching up on - how common would they be for any of the employees of a store like CVS or Walmart / Target etc? If one was used on the kids how would this tie directly to RA vs anyone else who may have used one for work / hobbies / moving etc? I hope there is more info on this matter.
Not sure what argument we're talking about here, but I wanted to point out that many people have been wrongfully imprisoned as a result of false confessions that were used to help put them in prison for crimes they didn't commit. False Confessions Happen More Than We Think - Innocence Project
Yes it is talked about with some details by the warden, the internal affairs officer and the psychologist who testified yesterday. The warden said that they do not do any sort of background check on the inmate companions regarding their charges etc but they are the trustee inmates. They get time off their sentences if they get useful information. IMO It’s basically a jail house snitch program lol
Without the actual box cutter, I don't think they'd be able to prove that.
