IMO it is just another move to create stress for him in the hope that he will "crack". Note that once again they are using an allegation that he said something. In that scenario a warden "overhears" him saying that he is going to commit suicide by jumping from the highest point in his cell (is that even remotely possible????). This then becomes a pretext for send in a goon team to "move" him, and when they attack him he of course defends himself. This achieves two objectives: (a) it allows them to stack even more charges on him for "assault", making him even more paranoid and, if worst comes to worst, allows them to lock him up for who knows how long even if they don't/can't proceed with the Holly charges; and (b) it allows them to put him in a highly isolated cell where he can be subjected to "special" treatment to pressure him into confessing.
This is consistent with everything that has happened so far. First, they give deals to other criminals who make claims that he was involved, which allows them to arrest and charge him. Then, they do it again with a jailhouse "snitch" who claims that he threatened his brother. They do it once more with this guy who supposedly had a video, again based on an allegation which I bet came from someone looking for a deal on something else. Now this event, which once again appears to be a pretext to create a situation based on something that someone supposedly heard. Through all of this they are increasing his isolation. First by restricting his privileges and access to family/lawyers. Now they are going to lock him up in an isolation cell where he will most likely be facing 24/7 hours of harassment under the guise of "monitoring" him.
IMO they don't have any real evidence, and all of this is being done to create both pressure on him to lose his mental stability, snap and confess, while at the same time building up a web of jailhouse snitches/deals to create a general picture of guilt. Certainly, with all that has happened leading up to the arrest, and subsequently, it has all of the appearances of that scenario playing out.
They need to be ponying up some real evidence, not all this other he said/they said nonsense.
My opinions only, no facts here:
Well said. Frankly, maybe the main suspect was fighting back because he did NOT want to leave the general jail population and be put in an isolation area. Maybe he knows something that we don't.
Returning to my list of the "unlucky six":
1) the main suspect
2) the second suspect (the big guy)
3) the main suspect's younger brother who claimed he saw Holly with his older brother after she disappeared
4) the unindicted suspect who claimed to know where Holly was buried, but could not deliver
5 and 6) the new brothers, who claim to have some knowledge about an incriminating video
First, there is a 250,000 dollar reward for information that leads to the arrest and conviction of a person or persons responsible for the abduction of Holly Bobo. Who on the above list may have simply been interested in taking a random shot at the reward and ended up caught in the dragnet? Who is not on the list and behind the scenes, taking their own shots at the reward (mystery informants)? Who on this current list would constitute an untouchable 'star witness' that assures a prosecution victory?
Secondly, far too much is made about any jailhouse confessions by the main suspect. I predicted the possibility of a jailhouse question on Websleuths before it happened. And I am NOT clairvoyant! But for crying out loud, the main suspect supposedly made a Facebook post (see my timeline) where he is standing in the woods in camoflauge asking "who am I looking for?". Who needs a jailhouse confession? Yet in my opinion, if this Facebook post is not spoofed, it screams out to me that the so-called main suspect is a very poor suspect. This Facebook post has the complete feel of a cruel prank, and not an on-line confession to the entire world.
It almost seems as if both the "unlucky six" AND the authorities are all too heavily-invested by now to lay down their guns and camoflauge. Everybody is digging in. Heck, even some of us Websleuthers are digging in! The whole case is feeding upon itself, and I watch with fascination for future developments.
