He needs a lawyer admitted to the state bar in Wyoming AND admitted to whatever district the case is filed in, I can't remember what it is.Short and very interesting!
@Alethea With a Federal crime, is he going to need a Federal lawyer to argue that he’ll be just fine out on bail, just fine?
Am I right that his current lawyer, based in New York State, wouldn’t be able to argue this in a Federal court, even if he wanted to?
Or, come to think of it, can any lawyer who’s passed the bar in his own state defend someone accused of a Federal crime?
And, to what extent do lawyers have to follow their client’s wishes—specifically, I’m thinking that a lawyer might well think that it’s in BLs interests to be locked up in a cosy jail cell, rather than being tempted to go on the run again?

Generally speaking, you have to apply for admission to each Federal court in which you wish to appear.Short and very interesting!

Maybe he is hard up for money. There is a small reward.
IMHO, I think there is more to her very controlled comment. JMO but she seemed to be holding back IYKWIM.I know, I'm obsessed with this now.
Past tense, "did," present tense, "is," followed by "don't want to say that." He flew (more than once?) when... WHAT?
No, your DNA would not change as a result of something you ate.
I'm saying it is public knowledge, made public by her mom and her uncle, but is it fact or not. That's what I'm questioning.good point. Either way, if he told GP he was flying home and didn’t or even if he did, there’s an awful lot of important facts never mentioned as public knowledge thus far. It could explain way more than we realize at this point.

We don't know though.The hotel stay is within a week of her death. It's definitely a problem if he took her van, wallet or keys. I can also see it being problematic if he's getting her to spend her money on a hotel when she might have that money designated for the rest of the trip. She seems to have more money than him at this point. Making her spend her money is a tactic to make her equally broke as him and takes some of her power away.

How serious was the engagement? I’ve seen someone post the couple’s engagement photo on this site. However, GP was not wearing an engagement ring. Did he even buy her one? Were they actually engaged or was he just dreaming that a girl like GP would actually agree to marry him?
$70K last I heard.
I don't believe this is exactly true. A powered off phone, even a phone with the battery removed, still has power. Electronics with power (even very low power state) are able to transmit signals, and those signals can be detected. Phones that are off can also be remotely interrogated and even turned on, including activating camera and microphone and GPS.
Just my opinion and conjecture.
SameYes, I appreciate you guys bringing this up. Her sentence is weird altogether to me.
She said, "Because that's what he did when he is..."
I don't want to overanalyze her because she might have been nervous, but the use of two different tenses raised my brows. Does she mean "that was what he did when he was," "that's what he does when he is," or what?
I don't understand the statement in the context that this was something he did once -- as in August 17th to the 23rd. She sounds like she's trying to say something happened habitually. Does anyone disagree?
If that's the case, she might not be referring to an August 17th trip, but instead, a habit (which could include that 8/17 trip, btw.)
Totally agree. I think in the end we're going to find out that Brian has a long history of troubling behavior known to his family. Just IMOIMHO, I think there is more to her very controlled comment. JMO but she seemed to be holding back IYKWIM.

Cassie Laundrie: I assumed he flew back, because that's what he did when he is - actually I don't want to say that.
RSBMWow! that is super interesting. I missed it before, thank you for posting that. I can think of a lot of possible ways to finish it myself, all conjecture, opinion, etc.:
- "tired of driving"
- "using"
- "angry"
- "busy"
- "having a crisis"
- "in a hurry"
- "in the middle of a break-up"
- "missing our parents"
MOO.
RSBM"that's what he did when he is"..............gets upset and needs to get away....go for a long walk?? Needs to cool down" Alright, I am waaaaaayyyyy speculating.
I haven't seen anyone point out that the first mention/confession of any offensive physical contact was by BL (BBM) during the body cam footage. It seems he was able to stumble through his statement enough to confuse everyone. He admits to pushing her ~ That is considered domestic violence!

Officer Robbins: So tell me, what’s goin’ on?
BL: She just gets worked up sometimes and I try and really distance myself from her. So I locked the car and I walked away from her. What happened this morning was that she’s trying to start up her own like little web site blog and everything. So, I give her time and I - - - And we really had a nice morning if anything but um she just got worked up as we were trying to get going and get our day going cuz we wanna go um [mumbles here I can’t understand]
Officer Robbins: Okay. Ya wanna tell me about the scratches on your face?
BL: She had her cell phone in her hand. That’s why I was pushing her away was cuz I - - - She wanted me - - - I had [maybe he said ‘locked’ here?] the keys, started to walk away, said let’s just take a breather and let’s not, uh, go anywhere else on that for a minute, cuz she’s getting worked up. And she had her phone and was trying to get the keys from me so I got, I was just tryin’ to - - - I know I shouldn’t push her but I was just tryin’ to push her away to go let’s just take a minute to step back and breathe. And you see she got me with her phone. [Points to face.]
Officer Robbins: Can I see your hands? . . . . . .
