, I get it. We both have very different opinions on this case and exactly whose back end is and will continue to be flappin in the breeze.
Let's not forget that the fall of 2023 and spring of 2024 were pretty eventful months with some very unusual stuff going on in this case.
the state may have not decided to rush out and waste their resources hiring an expert that may not be needed because suddenly the court and this entire case were mired in the drama that ensued both out of court and in over the leaked photos, the DT's brief removal from the case and the subsequent SCOIN filing. Had the DT STAYED fired, we don't know that a new DT would be pursuing the same theory the DT wasted so much time and effort on. JMO
But that did not happen, DT was back in the game and right back to filing their little
motions press releases to the public about SODDI and runes so then the state had to address it because DT was asking the judge to allow them to make their argument before the jury about it. in my mind that is not the state being concerned about their own back ends.
