If crosses were left at the crime scene and the guards were wearing crosses, this wouldn’t have been a working theory.Just snipping the part of your post that dealt with my post.
I get that is what they are trying to do, but I am failing to see how you can stand it up except by logical fallacies. Here is how I am thinking about it
1. This is only relevant as regards the confession - they need coercion or some kind of psychological pressure to cast doubt on it
2. I can broadly understand the idea that "the state" as a monolith, having found the evil perp, then locks him up under the toughest conditions possibly, perhaps to coerce a plea. I have no idea if that really happens, but I could imagine it happens in effect.
3. The stuff about the videoing of meetings with counsel is bad.
4. The guards had patches
Where I am struggling:
4. Even given the above, there is no actual evidence at all to connect them with the murders or the alleged gang of killers or even that they knew about the Odinism angle, let alone support it. it's quite a jump to say because you wear a patch, you are therefore more likely to be part of a conspiracy to coerce a confession to railroad an innocent man. I could actually much more believe that they might want to intimidate him because they think he did it!
5. Video taping the meetings doesn't really go to proof of all this at all. Are we really going to believe that they wanted to read his lips? I agree it's bad - i just don't see how it's proof of the theory, or how it prevents him telling his lawyers.
6. Really the only evidence of the theory, is the hearsay claim by the defence team member, that the Odinist guards want to kill him. But that can't be proof of the content of RA's statement.
So at the end of the day, to show what RA's state of mind really was when he made these admissions, IMO he will have to testify to it. And ideally his wife will testify that it all felt fishy.
Otherwise I feel all you really have is a theory based on some generic identification with a group but no actual connection to the 'real killers' - it's a propensity reasoning
Do I believe there are bored men in and around Delphi that are practicing some ancient Norse religion for some sense of community and brotherhood ( and perhaps to get some time away from their families and responsibilities)?Yes. Do I think they find it macho and maybe a little intimidating and give them street cred? yes. But do I think this group is related to the murders? NO.
It there was any strange symbols left behind that could resemble Odinist symbols I believe its because RA left them.
I believe if the crime scene was left the way the FM describes then it was done because RA got some sort of kick out of doing it. If it was left this way it was to shock and upset those they found them.
