I think these 2 guards were just the 2 easy targets for the defense to make their claims to try to get RA moved. I doubt these guards even knew the defense was planning to lay out some Odin connection to try to show RA wasn't guilty. In order for them to be using this Odin thinking/belief to intimidate him, wouldn't they need to know this was even a scenario that the defense was going to use? How could they know wearing a patch would be some link to the defenses theory of the crime that RA is accused of? It was just something the defense could add on as to a reason why RA was confessing to anyone and everyone. To my knowledge the Odin angle wasn't even presented to anyone at the point that RA was confessing and certainly not before April 3rd or 4th when he told his wife. I mean how would the guards know the defense was going to say the murders were an Odin ritual killing? Did RA even know what those patches were or did he even see the patches?? Has he said he was intimidated by these guards were the patches or is this the defense saying this bad treatment was because the guards had these beliefs?
