Snipped
Given that "snookered" was used in Indiana, I'm going with the U.S. definition.
Interesting choice of word for the situation, imo.

Even if was unintentional the photos were leaked by the defense. Baldwin's inability to maintain control of the photos is the problem here. jmo
that is how I am taking it as well. Why would a long time close professional associate want to trick/trap Baldwin? That is the mystery we may never see solved.Snipped

Relying on confessions used to and still does lead to inappropriate and unjust convictions.Confessing to murders used to get one convicted.
I haven't seen any indication that the judge visited the prison to see what his conditions are/were.One picture and pre-trial defense ruminations does not a condition make. The judge has all the information available and ruled he was being treated more than fair. Was she lying?
The judge didn't have to address the resignation at yesterdays hearing she could have continued it. Either way, I don't think she had a choice after the leaked photos.The judge should not permit the defense to resign. I think they will now appoint a patsie to make it easier on the prosecution.
"leaked?", "improperly stored?", "left in a briefcase at the train station?" "disgruntled co-worker?" As I have always stated, "Incompetence is the time honored weapon of sabotage."Even if was unintentional the photos were leaked by the defense. Baldwin's inability to maintain control of the photos is the problem here. jmo

To approach beyond reasonable doubt those confessions need to be properly tested and validated. Plus sufficient corroborating evidence.
Let’s get the right perp convicted and make it stick is all I seek. RA or otherwise a confession by itself isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.
I'm sorry but your last sentence made me laugh.What lack of rational?
What condition?
Neither a issue according to his own [at the time] attorneys who are in direct contact with RA:
Allen’s attorneys wrote that they had not filed an insanity defense, nor have they requested a competency evaluation of Allen, meaning his “mental state is not at issue in the guilt/innocence phase of this proceeding.”
Delphi murder suspect’s attorneys ask judge to deny prosecution’s subpoena for medical, mental health records
In addition;
There are before and after photos in that link showing RA is more toward the lower end of average weight for a male his height.
He actually looks more in proportion weight wise to his height than his former chunky self.
RA has a very petite frame.
I'm sure it is normal and expected to lose excess weight while incarcerated.
RA is just fine.

I thought "M" was no longer alive????Yes I’m not saying Baldwin shouldn’t be at fault, that wasn’t my point. It’s deplorable that the discovery material was left accessible in his office. Note - that’s his story.
So it goes “M”, his friend, not only stole copies of the photos but leaked them and according to the leaked text messages that was preplanned in advance.
But now “M” gets off scot free? I don’t think that’s okay. His reputation isn’t damaged because nobody knows who he is, meanwhile only Baldwin and Rozzi face any sort of consequences. ”M” should be charged with data theft and perhaps he will be, time will tell.
As a comparable, it’s still considered robbery if someone walks into a store or home and steals stuff without breaking the door down.
That's my understanding as well..I thought "M" was no longer alive????
Who is Trusted Friend?!Heck yes #RichardAllen's defense team did Not want to withdraw. This was made clear by the fact they offered remedies to the court. This was a case of them having no other choice but to withdraw leaving RA without counsel and in solitary confinement at a Maximim Security Prison yet convicted of no crime... His attorneys were some of the best in state. Who will RA be left with? Will he survive Maximum Security Confinement with, I am sure now, little hope? Did you see his wife? She was in tears. She realizes the gravity of the situation. You don't just snap you fingers and appoint counel. The attorney must be qualified and capable of taking the case based on his court obligations. Maybe a heavy hitter will step in? This case weighs heavy on me. The evidence is not strong and the allegations of police incompetence and possible LE coverup is concerning.
Not any more, anyway.Who is Trusted Friend?!
I would suggest this person is neither to be trusted nor a friend.

That's my understanding as well..
Ok - thanks for clarifying.According to murder sheet podcast, “M” photographed the photos then leaked them to “R” who leaked them to two others “Mark” and a female. It was “R“ who died by suicide. And it was ”Mark” turned over the photos to MS, asking it be reported to LE.
