When CI appears in court for his trial, he won’t be appearing in handcuffs or any other visible restraints.

Judge Reich granted a request by Isaak’s legal team to allow him to wear plain clothes and not have any visible restraints on him while he’s in court.

He also ruled the Department of Corrections may employ non-visible means of restraint on Isaak, such as stun cuffs or other restraints “deemed necessary for courtroom security.”

The trial is scheduled to start June 7th.

[LietKynes]

I wish there was a hint of motive here. The Who and the What is pretty settled in my mind. It's the Why that is such a puzzle..

Ita.
Puzzling.
What drove C.I. to commit such a terrible crime ?
It feels like there was rage and a vendetta against at least one of the victims.
I can't imagine the perp harbored hate against all four ?

 

[Niner]

And no update in court site for a hearing, just have trial date next.

 

[Jsizzle]

I’ve been so intrigued since this whole thing first happened. The WHY is driving me nuts. Will be interesting to say the least. But it seems they’re dragging their feet ugh

CI allegedly murdered four individuals in cold blood and his focus is on his appearance in court:

District Court Judge David Reich Tuesday granted a request by Isaak’s legal team to allow him to wear plain clothes and not have any visible restraints on him while he’s in court.

Reminds me of his outcry in court to speak directly to the Judge because he deserved it.

I'd have told him to shut up, and refused to allow it.
What an entitled bleep.

2 years later no motive established in slaying of four | KX NEWS

April 3, 2021
MANDAN, N.D. (AP) — A motive still has not been established two years after four people were found fatally shot and stabbed at a Mandan property management company and their accused killer moves toward his trial date, police said. RJR Maintenance & Management co-owner Robert Fakler, and employees Adam Fuehrer, Bill Cobb and his wife, Lois Cobb were found slain at the business on April 1, 2019. A Washburn chiropractor who lived in a mobile home park managed by RJR, Chad Isaak, is charged with four counts of murder. His trial is set to begin June 7. Mandan Deputy Police Chief Lori Flaten says despite a quick arrest and gathered evidence, no motive for the killings has been established.

[NervousNellie]

I am beginning to wonder if there is even an actual, real motive - beyond some perceived grudge. It's amazing to me that no motive has been released. This guy reminds me of Todd Koelhepp.

Chad Isaak’s trial in jeopardy after defense attorneys withdraw | KX NEWS

April 30, 2021

The defense attorney’s representing quadruple homicide suspect Chad Isaak have withdrawn from the case. Isaak is set for trial in just 38 days.

Isaak’s attorney Robert Quick filed documents in Morton County saying there’s now a conflict of interest and Quick can no longer defend Isaak. Quick has been Isaak’s attorney since nearly the beginning of the case in April of 2019.

The Vogel Law firm which also was helping in the case as secondary counsel has also withdrawn.

At this point, there have been no further documents filed to change the trial which is scheduled to begin June 7th.
