One would think his decline would have happened after the 2 horrendous child murders that he did. But no! His decline is once he sees legal work. Must have been very damning! Poor guy must be scared to death! I don't feel one bit sorry for him!

It's not about whether a person feels sorry for him or not. IMO his atty is laying the groundwork for the appeals that are sure to come if/when he's convicted. Rozzi is making a record of every one of his objections to RA's treatment.

MOO Of course, we don't have any idea of his mental state after the murders, a gradual decline may have been going on for years. The point is, does the prosecutor want to risk any kind of censure, lose evidence or face constitutional challenges in the eventual trial and/or appeals? I very much doubt that Shay Hughes feels sorry for RA, he is giving an educated opinion on what should be done (give RA the benefit of the doubt). I agree with Shay Hughes, he is far more knowledgeable about the workings of this Indiana court than anyone on WS. MOO
Perhaps they also have additional items seized during the search that render the tool markings more substantiative - round from scene, gun AND perhaps, IMO, a round or two 9 or a partial box of ammunition of same manufacturer with same batch and lot number found during the search. We haven't seen everything they have yet.I agree, it’s absolutely typical for a defence team to attempt to have critical evidence tossed and this has only just begun.
“Allen’s attorneys described the state’s evidence as “flimsy,” and they raised serious questions about the science used to establish a possible link between Allen’s gun and the unspent round found at the crime scene.
Defense attorneys file motion to exclude key evidence in Delphi murders case
Richard Allen's lawyers have filed a motion asking that certain ballistics evidence be excluded from trial.www.wthr.com
“The probable cause affidavit seems to suggest that a single magic bullet is proof of (Richard Allen’s) guilt. It is a bit premature to engage in any detailed discussions regarding the veracity of this evidence until more discovery is received, but it is safe to say that the discipline of tool-mark identification (ballistics) is anything but a science. The entire discipline has been under attack in courtrooms across this country as being unreliable and lacking any scientific validity,” defense attorneys Brad Rozzi and Andrew Baldwin wrote in December, just before a judge issued a gag order in the murder case. “We anticipate a vigorous legal and factual challenge to any claims by the prosecution as to the reliability of its conclusions concerning the single magic bullet.”
Oh lol! I was expressing disgust.
Usually when an alcoholic stops drinking they gain weight. The loss of sugar from the alcohol, especially if it's just beer, result in the eating of sweets to compensate for the loss of sugar in their diet. Also the sweets will act as a stimulant replacing the 'buzz' of alcohol.
So do you have no concern that any of the defense's complaints could be an issue later? Capt Lewis stated he'd never had a pretrial defendant housed there. We already know pretrial defendants almost universally stay in county jails.
