Jerry Holeman testified in his deposition that investigators estimated the time of death as occurring somewhere between 2:30 and 3:30 p.m. (Holeman depo., p. 17, lines 6-21).

<modsnip - baiting>

But, with that said, I do not believe that is iron clad, no. Even if JH said that. He's made conflicting statements (also in the Franks) about how many people were involved. And, he's not a medical examiner. So far we know the ME could not determine the time of death.

We even have another LE officer not committing to it "being over by 3:30." (See link above/quote from TL)

IMO MOO

60+ confessions with details and dozens of incriminating statements, sounds like a man who IS pleading guilty. IMO

Well, legally speaking, they aren't the same. And there's no proof at all that he's begging his attorneys to plead guilty and they aren't "letting him." IANAL, but sounds like an accusation of some kind of ethical misconduct, of which there is zero proof.

IMO MOO
 
Here's the timeline for "Ricky's" meds. I sure hope there was some psych evaluation before they gave him involuntary injections of psychotropic medication.
(SNIP)
March 23, 2023: Allen was depressed and withdrawn and said he “was not straight in the head."
April 4, 2023: Allen suffered from insomnia, hopelessness, was suicidal, and stated “death would bring relief to him."
April 13, 2023: Allen was exhibiting “bizarre” behavior, including consuming his own feces, and was suffering from a “grave disability.” The prison psychologist ordered Allen receive an involuntary injection of psychotropic medication.
April 21, 2023: Allen’s thoughts were disjointed and he was saying “strange things.” Wala discussed that he might be considered incompetent to stand trial.
May 3, 2023: Allen said he wanted to confess details of the crime.
May 18, 2023: Allen receives another dose of psychotropic medication.
May 23, 2023: Allen diagnosed as suffering from stress-induced psychosis.
June 8, 2023: Allen’s depression “at its peak,” noted trembling, knees buckling.
June 16, 2023: Allen receives another dose of psychotropic medication.
Late June, 2023: Allen’s mental health improving.
October 2023: Allen was proclaiming his innocence.
Allen’s defense team claims the confessions fall within the timeframe of Allen’s severe psychosis diagnosed by prison psychologists.

Yes I've seen that list before. IIRC some of it was even touched on at the hearings? Surprising with all that supposedly happening with RA that his lawyers didn't consider having him evaluated. MO
 
I don't interpret any of this as proof that "LE told us they were dead at 3:30." I don't think anyone in LE has ever said that.

IMO MOO
The latest memorandum filed by defense cites the 3:30 time 7 times.
The first citation is about Unified Command believing the timeline of the girls murder was between 2:14-3:30pm on 2/13/17.
The others have to do with LE believing that LG’s phone had remained under LG’s body after 3:30pm and RA not to believed to have returned to the location the bodies were found after 3:30pm

I am sorry I cannot link the document ( my phone is glitchy ) but I know it has been linked several times on the thread since it was filed yesterday.

My opinion is that the evidence points that both girls were dead by 3:30pm.
 
I think the investigative info is stuff that was formulated early on. I'm sure the first people looked into were known sex offenders and then wherever that led, like to KAK. I think we might just learn that RA was in that section of society. The State seem very confident with their case and the Defense seems very concerned with that search. Can't wait to find out the particulars at trial. MO
We will hear lots more at trial.

I-Team:
Allen was charged. The statute that he is charged under, the murder charge, also indicated that he has to have committed another crime, like rape, child molestation or human trafficking. Is charged properly?

Carter: He is, and those questions will be answered in due time, and they certainly should come from the prosecutor and not from me, but eventually when that PC (probable cause affidavit) is released that will be clear.

 
Ok thanks I wasn’t sure if I had missed something. So there is zero proof her phone battery had died it’s just a assumption :)

I guess? I didn't say I thought her phone battery died. I think the phone was powered off at some point, and then powered back on by a human being.

OK, thank you. I will admit I'm wrong that LE has "never said that." With all of the other evidence, though, I maintain I don't think that's iron clad and there's a huge possibility it's not correct, in my opinion. There is no established time of death.

Looking forward to the trial to learn exactly why they think that.

This is my opinion.

IMO MOO
 
What if BG looks like RAbr or JM or PW, known Vinlander associates of BH? Personally, I do not see any resemblance between BG and RA. There’s no “=“ for me there. Also, if LG’s phone got powered off 18 minutes after and these poor girls did NOT die at that point in time, BH’s alibi comes into question as well. Just MOO.
For starters, the defense has only claimed that BH and RL look like BG. That, in and of itself is telling. Second, I’m not sure who RAbr is, but the defense is not trying to claim whoever that may be has third party culpability. At least, they are not any longer if they once were.

As far as PW, he’s a foot taller than RA according to MyCase. I don’t see him being mistaken for BG as a 6’4” dude, nor height estimates being off by that much.

The defense does not say that JM had anything to do with the murders, just that he introduced EF to BH.

As far as I understand it, EF has a very distinct accent and the defense has also never claimed he looks like BG.

The defense went to great lengths to show how RA could not have possibly done so much at the crime scene, so I think it would also be self-defeating for them to claim that RL actually did all of the stuff the guy half his age couldn’t theoretically do.

They only say 2 folks look similar to BG. One is deceased, was 70-something and had an alibi. The other, they also concede has an alibi.

They’re starting to paint themselves into a corner.

Mostly my opinions.

Just for the record, there was no cat hair listed on the search warrant return. They did take his furry-like fiber hat, though = probably not cat hair. IMO

I wonder if either of the families had pets?

one winter gray hat with furlike fibers.

Maybe the cat hair was found on some of his clothing or other things? Just a thought

Your opinion is valid. Defense is certainly running with it.
I look forward to seeing the evidence at trial ( or rather hearing about it second hand).
While I wouldn’t be shocked if there isn’t an exact time of death for both girls. I would; however, expect there to be range provided by the medical examiner.
Until then we will continue to guess and comb the motions for morsels that point one way or the other.

Maybe RA's family and his two sets of attorneys believe he's innocent because they know where he was at the time of the murders. Maybe he just can't prove it; it doesn't mean he doesn't have an alibi.

doesn’t alibi evidence have to be notified?

i know in some jurisdictions that is the case. maybe someone can confirm.

The defence referenced TH’s statement that JM used her car around that time to visit with his Vinlander friends in Delphi and when he returned what looked like blood was smeared down the side and it took a number of washes to get it off. May mean nothing, may mean something. JMHO

I just posted this a little while ago but I'll gladly do it again. My understanding is they sent him to Westville because that was the prison of choice for medical treatment.

Prosecutors said that they had considered “involuntary medication” to treat Allen’s symptoms, but two psychiatrists and a psychologist had allegedly deemed it unnecessary, and they also felt it wasn’t necessary to move him to another facility with a psychiatric unit.

PW and RL- I can never imagine them being described by witnesses as “not tall”. Jmo
EF- really has no ties to Odinism from what I have seen presented. Also per all the defense motions EF’s phone was being used in his home at 7:30pm on the 13th so then if you move the timeline back he now has an alibi.
I just can’t seem to figure out any way this group fit. I am guessing this is the same issue TC and KM had.
All my opinion
