Numerous people noticed that RFG had a change in his demeanor. This is the time line on it.
I have heard that some people noticed it as much as a fortnight earlier, but I have no documentation of it.
March 8, 2005 RFG was being interviewed by then CDT political reporter Mike Joseph (The Thin Man), about the upcoming election for DA. Gricar indicated that he was supporting Michael T. Madeira (MTM), a Republican, who was elected in the fall. Joseph asked about JKA, who had just filed petitions to be on the ballot for the Democratic nomination.
Joseph wrote: "I was surprised that the question seemed to stun Gricar, or at least to leave him at a loss. He had been so fluid with his answers about the spring primary. But when asked to look beyond that, he stumbled in getting his toughts into words and never really came up with a coherent answer. The difference was remarkable."
March 9, 2005 RFG was at a meeting with then President Judge Charles Brown and then Criminal Court Administrator Carolyn Spotts. They were attempting to schedule a murder trial. Spotts said, "It just seemed that Ray wasn't with it. He was just looking around, which kind of shocked me because this was a death-penalty case."
Brown ask about an October scheduling. Spotts said, "Ray just turned and looked at the bookcases. "He didn't even look at the judge when he said it. He just said, 'I won't be here,' "
[October 9 was RFG's birthday and he usually took a vacation to New England around that time.]
c. March 28. PEF noted that RFG was napping more. After several weeks, she suggested that he see a doctor.
c. March 11, 2005 JKA describes RFGH as being "distraught," starting at this point.
March 14, 2005 People at the Prison Board meeting describe RG as mumbling answers and staring out the window.
March 16, 2005 DZ calls JKA to ask if she has seen RFG. She tells DZ (upon request) that RFG was "distraught" over the last week. DZ says, "...everyone is telling me the same thing."
