I don't know if this was posted, but this video has more explanation of what the hearing on Friday might be about:

I wonder if they might enter into evidence something that happened to cause BSL to be taken out of jail the day Mickey was found. A confession, or something else including the finding of Mickey.
I agree NewYork625, this is a much better explanation of the probable events of Friday's evidentiary hearing..
Imo, the strategy being used to prosecute BS Lavergne, is straight from the playbook of the Gary Ridgeway prosecution(Kings county,WA)
"Deja vu, or coincidence"?
Proclaimed: The Real Story of Americas Deadliest Serial Murder, the book highlights the lives of Gary Ridgeways victims, for which I salute the author; Ann Rule.
For over two decades Ridgeway eluded Law Enforcement while the body count continued to rise and the suspect list of those scrutinized by the Green River Task Force grew into the thousands. Although GRs first victim Wendy Lee Coffield was discovered in the Green River in July 1982, it wasnt until almost two decades later, that GR was identified by DNA as the Green River Serial Killer and Arrested.
Ridgeway, was housed in an ultra security cell. GR was arested for soliciting prostitutes two months prior to the discovery of the first victim and was suspected in 1984 & 1987 as being the Green River Serial Killer. He was cleared after passing two polygraphs and convincing LE of his innocence. GR, would let some of his victims live, as well as befriending some for alibis and witnesses to confirm his innocence.
Obviously a psychopath, passing the polygraph was childsplay for him. GR also claimed that there was a Good Gary and an Evil Gary, although LE discounted the claim.
December 5, 2001, although responsible for many tragic murders, GR, was formally charged with the murder of only four victims: Marcia Chapman, Opal Mills, Cynthia Hinds, and Carol Ann Christensen. Ironically in August 1982, in the clenched hand of victim Opal Mills, was a brown Cau. hair yanked from her killers head.
It had been bagged, tagged, and misplaced.
The Federal Govt contributed $500,000.00 in Dec 2001, to help pay for DNA tests for 45 more probable victims, where there were no charges yet filed. Several Meetings between Task Force Members and the Proscecutors were held to devise a strategy.
A unique or out of the box prosecution strategy was agreed upon that was to be held in the upmost secrecy under the radar of the media and the public, including the victims families.
Their first goal was to locate the previously owned vehicles of Ridgeways to check for DNA or other residue. The Green River Task Force was housed in a segregated building and no one outside the Task Force knew the strategy or the avenue of the continuing investigation of the victims where charges hadnt been filed.
A very tight lid was kept on what was happening behind the scenes. Gary Ridgeways attorneys had contacted the Proscecutor to ask if GR might avoid the death Penalty, if he would plead guilty to the original charges and show the location of the undiscovered victims.
On June 13, 2003, the proscecutors and the defense team entered into an agreement: the State would not seek the Death Penalty, but GR, would have to plead guilty to aggravated murder in the 1st degree for all the homicides that he had committed in Kings Co., Wa.
The plea agreement was not revealed to the public or the innocent victims families. It was June 2003 when the rumors began: Where was Gary Ridgeway?
It was certain that he was not in the King County Jail, but any info on his whereabouts had been Sealed by a Judge
.
GR Task Force Members and SAR teams were spotted in areas where victims remains were previously located. Questions were asked, were proscecutors seeking evidence overlooked or or had they struck up some kind of plea deal with the defense team; Ridgeways Life, in exchange for the identity and location of the unknown victims. The plea deal did not include other geographical areas that Ridgeway preyed..
The GR task force personnel wore civilian clothes to remain stealth to the media and behind the heavely tinted glass of the unmarked cars was a Prolific Serial Killer, wearing leg irons and handcuffs. Rumors of where Ridgeway was being out of control. It was reported that he was being kept secured under armed guard in a posh apartment. The public was outraged that he was being held in luxury after the body count that he had amassed.
The GR Task Forces PIO , under this pressure anounced that a cell had been constructed in the Task Force Headquarters and GR was living among the investigators. It was the last place anyone thought to look
There had been no precedent for this strategy..
In order to get in to the head of Ridgeway, although it meant spending so much time with an evil cold blooded killer, tantamount to residing with a noncharismatic Hannibal Lecter, it was necessary to bridge the wall, erected by his team of Attorneys and seek the truth of his Terror Trail. GR had a captive audience and relished the attention paid to him as did Ted Bundy.
Ridgeway would now have the opportunity to gloat over the details of his ghastly deeds.. He made himself available as a subject that was quite willing to participate in marathon interogations. He found pleasure in demonstrating his expertise in the art of of torturous murder, to his ideal audience; the same detectives that he had taunted, remaining oblivious too, for decades. He loved being the focus of their attention.
For the interrogators, it was exausting, disgusting, shocking, traumatic ,frustrating, and very horrific work. The experience would have been and unsettling and traumatic experience for anyone, hundreds of hours of grotesque recollections from a man that apeared totally harmless as he calmly described, raping, torturing, mutilitating, and killing dozens of women in a halting and disspassionate voice. GR stated, all I wanted to do was have sex with them and kill them.
When Ridgeway accompanied them on Field Trips to the undiscovered Body Dumps, he brightened, smiling in anticipation, as they got closer to his killing fields and trophy areas
The Task Force Team was elated and relieved when Psychiatrists and other FBI BAU Agents flew in to interview Ridgeway. It gave them a much needed break from their journey into the abyss, the darkness.. Although Ridgeway had maps and a sharp recall of the areas where the bodies were dumped, he could not remember his victims faces or names.
When referring to his innocent victims remains, he would say, I dumped it in that location, meaning that they were objects subject to disposal
GR, had let some of his intended victims, go free. He would say. your to cute for a guy like me. He later admitted that he let them go for future witnesses, in case he should ever need them to verify that he was a good guy and couldnt possibly be the Green River Serial Killer. After being asked to elaborate on his abnormal sexual desires during childhood, he admitted to frotterism, exposing himself, stalking, voyerism, rape, murder for sexual release, and finally necrophilia.
