The judge says it's "clearly discreditable conduct evidence." #Millard
I’m curious if Isho has sold guns to other people who have shot people in the eye, or if he has shot someone in the eye himself. Maybe it is some sort of signature? I’m just trying to figure out the connection between Isho having photos and tattoos related to shooting in the eye and DM actually shooting someone in the eye. Was DM trying to impress Isho? Or was it some kind of initiation?It's kinda funny that, being a judge-only trial, the judge is essentially deciding herself what evidence she can and can't use. So she has decided that the photo (or even just the involvement on a violent gaming site?) shows discreditable conduct on DM's part, and would therefore cause some prejudice against his character (I'm guessing), and yet in deciding this she has already seen the photo, so in some ways the damage is done, right? But I guess she just won't allow herself to take that particular thing into account when her making her judgment?
While I do see the obvious "discreditable conduct" element of the photo, I think the fact that it was posted prior to WM's death, and shows a very specific and unusual type of "injury", which just "happens" to be the same "injury" from which WM died, is very relevant and shows possible planning and forethought by DM, IMO. I guess they can't bring that up at all now? And what about the fact that MWJ, the person from whom we know DM bought the gun (based on other trials) that his father was shot with, also has a photo (and a tattoo!) depicting a very similar thing? It seems like an unlikely coincidence.

I was thinking that too that if DM stayed there he'd be a first-class hoarder.
Who could live there after buying the place? Creepy. Same with the barn IMO.
Not sure why these texts are showing up in this trial? To establish DM's criminal mindset? Or his desperation for money?
More likely to establish names with numbers without any doubt.Not sure why these texts are showing up in this trial? To establish DM's criminal mindset? Or his desperation for money?
I think because these texts are introducing DM as DMan and are the precursor to obtaining the gun from IshoNot sure why these texts are showing up in this trial? To establish DM's criminal mindset? Or his desperation for money?
