Very interesting indeed! I just came here to post the same article.
A couple of talking points:
According to the summary of opinions detailed in the evaluation by a psychologist, Arron Lewis, 34, has been diagnosed with Antisocial Personality Disorder.
The evaluation report details that a face-to-face interview was conducted with Lewis for seven hours. Within the interview, he reportedly shared with the psychologist that his home life was "a bunch of chaos," and he said, "I believe both my parents deserve to die for how they brought me up." He described that as a child, he often ran away from home.
Antisocial Personality Disorder. No kidding. LOL But....ouch! They deserve to die?
According to the psychologist, Lewis said he married Crystal Lowery in April of 2014 in attempts to gain visitation rights with one of his children.
We've seen this referenced before. To our VI's....is she the type that would marry someone just to help him get visitation with his kids? I wonder if there was a "fee" involved? Maybe given in the form of a gift? Or do the VI's think this is just a bunch of bunk?
Lewis is said to have PTSD due to a prison fight in 2009. He told the psychologist that he was stabbed multiple times in the incident, and that he is anxious around other people.
I don't believe I had heard this before. Too bad for Beverly (and really..for CL, as well) that they didn't finish the job.
Inside the evaluation report, information obtained from Lewis' arrest warrant affidavit is listed. It details that investigators determined Lewis as a suspect after finding that a number placed to Carter's phone was made through a texting/phone app that provides smartphone users with free text and voice messages. The company provided authorities with the actual cell phone number assigned to the app number – which was linked to Lewis' estranged wife Crystal Lowery's phone
I find this VERY interesting. So the number that was used was a fake number. I'm guessing it was something akin to Google Voice? Does anyone know how this works exactly? Does this mean that it was for sure her physical phone that was used to make the call, or just an account associated with her phone number? Then again, even if it was her phone, with AL's penchant for taking and using her phone (we know he used it to call TKL in the extortion attempt...one would assume without her permission or knowledge), I still have to wonder who it was that actually made the call?
Was this a number set up specifically for this crime or was it maybe a number they used for their...um....extra-curricular activities.
I tend to believe it could be the latter. Would you really want these people knowing your real contact information?
As usual with this case, a lot more questions than answers. But, little by little we are getting some information.

I had to look up the meaning of "speedy trial tolled" and I found this. Bolding by me:
http://www.avvo.com/legal-answers/what-does-speedy-trial-tolled-mean-1344958.html
Most jurisdictions, including Illinois, have a statute providing that a defendant must be tried within a certain time of arrest. The exact nature of these statutes varies from state to state. But the time within which the defendant must be tried begins with the defendant's arrest or some other triggering incident (such as a formal trial demand). However, various things can temporarily stop the clock. For an obvious example, if the defendant requests a continuance, the clock is stopped for the period of the continuance. The technical phrase for those periods during which the speedy trial clock does not run is that the statute is "tolled" for that time. So tolling means, essentially, a "time-out_" on the speedy trial clock.
