I’m self reporting this post to get clarification from the Mods as to what may or may not be discussed now in light of Judge Gull’s ruling.

A lot of names have been thrown around so I think it’s important that we know how to move forward.
From the ruling:

"The case law is quite clear that the nexus must not be based on speculation, conjecture, rumors, or hearsay, but rather on admissible evidence"


As the Court has not seen any "admissible evidence" to support such speculation, this equates to / aligns with WS policy that speculation must be based on some "known fact".

Going forward, any general discussion of Odinism or speculation on any of the named individuals is off limits.
 
I’m not sure his case is like any we have ever had before really. It isn’t quite solitary confinement as you pointed out since he had a tablet / inmate “companions” and visits from a medical professional.
If it 'isn't quite solitary confinement', why are so many here claiming it is, and claiming it is why he had a meltdown?

But it’s also not normal for a man to be held in a prison before he’s even convicted, is it? MOOOOO
No, but it was not a usual situation for a small town, to have to try and protect an accused child killer from himself and others.
This is the first case I’ve heard of a pre trial detainee being kept as he was and it’s scary imo! If it’s ok to do this to RA then who says it can’t happen to anyone else accused of a crime? MOOOOOOOOO
It takes very unusual circumstances for it even to be considered ---it has to be a high profile violent crime in which there are lots of incoming threats of retaliation and a threat of self harm as well. Not many cases would fit that criteria.

Apparently, there were 22 other pre-trial detainees being housed in Indiana prisons at the time as well. So it does happen.
 
Replying to @cybersleuth I made a mistake on the date of the email the date was actually February 17, 2017 not September 17, 2017. Sorry for the confusion. That info came from Day 1/ Motion to Supress hearing. Can you direct me to the transcripts where I can search for certain words in them? When I put in a word to search the Adobe pdf files of the transcripts nothing comes up. Tia.

Yes.

Yes. Day 1 of the recent hearings. Although I don't know if the back and forth between the prosecution and defense are even available.
You can try searching that date in Holeman's first testimony.

@Cyber sleuth I found a link from a Defense filing earlier this year that mentions the February 17, 2017 email. In the filing it lists the names of third party suspects so I doubt I can post that.
