I don’t “unquestioningly“ believe anything, but I do take things seriously when someone is sitting in prison fearing for his life and that of his family. To out of hand discount all of it, would be foolish, IMHO.
You stated that the prosecution withheld evidence and failed to investigate suspects... Where is the evidence for that outside the Franks motion?
I understand, but do we know that for a fact or is it only based on what the defense has said publicly? There's plenty of time for everyone to prepare for the trial. No one should be pressuring the state to make a race to trial and judgment. If the defense thinks they didn't get evidence in a timely fashion, they can ask the judge to give them more time to study it and respond. It's fairly simple and straightforward. Everyone needs to slow down and relax. The judge will give everyone the time they need to prepare for the trial. This is a DP case, IIRC and judges are usually careful with those to avoid excessive appeals if the defendant is found guilty.
You may be right on that, but I‘d have to go back into the Frank’s memo. Maybe the info was just buried very deep in discovery.

Do we know for a “fact” that RA is guilty “or is it only based on what the prosecution has said publicly?“
Per the memorandum which has not been tested.

Regarding LE investigating Odinism is not in question. What is in question is Unified Command’s decision that it had nothing to do with the murders. It appears that after only three weeks they stop that line of investigation. Purdy, who joins the investigation in March 2017 hears nothing of Odinists at that time, but two months later BP mentions that Abby was dating LH whose father is an Odinist. Holeman claims an investigator sent sketches of the crime scene an to an Occult Prof from Purdue and he determined it wasn’t occult related but then later tells Purdy that the Profs report was “inconclusive?” What’s also in question is the identity of this prof and any report he may have produced. It appears nobody knows his name and he cannot be located now? Hmmm…..
Thankfully, Purdy, Ferency and another investigator (his name escapes me at the moment) pursued this line of investigation and turned up some very interesting “stuff.” One can ignore what they found if one chooses, but I personally choose not to
I’m not giving any %. I’ll wait for it to go to trial. I have serious doubts at this point, that’s all.
The judge sent some very long and informative emails discussing the situation in an email group, to both sides.
Regarding the Franks Memo: Do the 194 footnotes citing the videos, exhibit numbers, page numbers, etc account for anything in your opinion?
I wonder if the reason LE was there was to testify about the things they'd already found out and when told this in chambers...do you really want this all done in open court?...the D opted to choose option B and knowingly lied to the judge?
To note, FBI Agent/Detective Ferency was murdered in 2021 outside of a federal building by a man retired from the Bureau of Prisons, worked at the Federal Prison Complex in Terre Haute, and ran for mayor in 2019. Nothing to see here. JMO.You may be right on that, but I‘d have to go back into the Frank’s memo. Maybe the info was just buried very deep in discovery.

I've said this before!! A man who hasn't yet been found guilty of anything is rotting in a prison cell for over a year now. It is still a year before his case might be finally heard. This is not acceptable! Would you be cool with this if this were YOUR loved one who MIGHT be innocent? Would you be ok with this if YOU were RA (and you were innocent)? I would not be. I'd like to see this case tried expediently.
She should now be able to fully explain her reasoning on this matter with the quick production of a transcript and or audio! If these do not exist, why not? If they do exist, then why is she so intent on delaying the hand over?
But if that was what they did, then they did it brilliantly. They've taken the heat off of RA as the accused and garnered a lot of sympathy for him as an unconvicted accused rotting in a prison cell. They've drawn attention to the issues of other possible suspects, and brought awareness to errors of file sealing / lack thereof and issues around lack of timely decision making. Do I think they're blameless? No. Do I like how they did it? No. But they definitely drew attention off their client and got him sympathy.
Judge Gull is not required to hand over anything except to the SCOIN by the new deadline of Nov 26th.
I don't care if he DOES plead out - that's his choice. If he did it and he pleads out, so be it.
