We don't know what all was said in that interview, just a tiny snippet. I could easily see him thinking they were lying to him and responding with a, well that person is a liar, I never said that. Deny, deny, deny. MO
He also said he’s innocent. Probably as many times, if not more. The jury will decide what to believe.
Professing innocence and confessing to a crime don't cancel each other out, IMO. It would be like saying, ok I did poison someone's drink 61 times, but think of all the other drinks I have made that were poison free?
That I doubt very, very much and yes they certainly will, IF the defense goes to trial. Just my opinion
Agree about RA confessing to LE before his arrest, why would he? He'd gotten away with it for 5+ years. What if RA confessed to someone else during that 5+ year period? A friend, or a relative, especially if alcohol was involved.
It very well could be an opportunistic victim situation and I am not resistant to the idea, I just think it's highly coincidental that Abby and Libby were being catfished by a known CSAM account, A_Shots the very night before they were murdered. LE dug deep into finding a solid connection with KAK and it appears they did not find one.
I'd like to know the stats on how many victims of trail attackers know their attacker, but I doubt that's as easy to find. I suspect it weighs heavily to stranger-on-stranger.
Yes, 100%, according to family members.
As far as I remember, the girls wanted to go there, but had to pass some hurdles until they got their permission finally. To me it says, they urgently wanted to go, but weren't able to do it without Kelsi's "taxi service" and Derek's "pick-up service". Maybe, there was indeed a certain plan, stemming out of the phone- or SM-conversation during their woke-through-night. I don't believe, the girls wanted to go "for some nature photos" only. But I may be wrong of course; it was my feeling the whole time. (I remembered old times from my own youth, when my parents didn't know, that I met a male adult in a town park, pretending I was only babysitting my little sister. My age was 14, just like Abby and Libby.)
Yes, I think the plan is to trot a series of criminals before the jury to disgust them and put the idea in their heads that the area is crawling with perps who hurt young girls. RA has no history of that, but look at all the disgusting men who do. I totally think the defense team wants to muddy the waters.
100% that's what I also think is happening.
Great theory!
I think it is not because what these particular attorneys have done, I think it is just that people don't like the defense side in general--because of the nature of their job defending murderers. If you look through the various threads on WS, inevitably there are those who accuse the defense of playing games, of causing more pain and distress to the families of the victims, of lying, of being disrespectful, etc. That is what is occurring in this case, and this is what has happened in numerous other cases, for example, the Alex Murdaugh case, the Barry Morphew case, and the Casey Anthony case. There are more. I will not link posts because it will look like I am targeting individual posters, and I am not, I am just saying that people never like the defense team, and this case is no different. JMO
That is one theory, and I don't entirely disagree - in general, I'd expect more people to have sympathy for the victims vs the alleged perpetrator and their team.
