There are only 18ish seats for more than 75 members of the public. There are reports of multiple issues between those public members regarding lines & available seats throughout the trial. I'd guess that is at least part of the role of law enforcement. Getting scooped on Youtube means missing...

I do have to wonder how we would feel if this case was livestreamed so we could see full testimony rather than the game of telephone currently being played. As it is we get a rephrased & regurgitated summary of the high points at best. It sounds as though many of the expert witnesses gave very...

BBM- this is patently false. Based on the reporting of the medications he received there was absolutely nothing given to coerce confession.

The haloperidol decanoate is a once monthly long acting version of haloperidol. Haloperidol lactate is a short-acting version that can be given orally, IV, or IM. It is commonly used for acute agitation or aggression. It would not be uncommon for someone to be on a long acting agent but also...

Invega is paliperidone. Not the same medication. Paliperidone/Invega is a second gen antipsychotic. Haloperidol/Haldol is a first gen antipsychotic.

-Haloperidol is a first generation/typical antipsychotic. -Haloperidol (Haldol) decanoate is a long acting intramuscular injection of haloperidol. -It is not uncommon to also use oral or injectable haloperidol (Haldol) for agitation/aggression associated with psychiatric conditions on an as...

I'm having a difficulty time parsing out exactly what was said as the reporting appears to (from WISH-TV) seems to have been edited and updated multiple times. Hopefully we'll get a clearer news report of this testimony later today. I had a similar experience with several other expert...

I don't know specifically for Dr. Martin; I haven't seen it reported whether he was employed by DOC or was a contractor. Dr. Walla was a contractor.

You vastly overestimate the availability of mental health professionals in general, let alone in a correctional institution. This is a nationwide problem, but Indiana is a healthcare desert. The prosecutor doesn't get to pick the medical providers that RA sees.

I don't think it's a crazy theory, but I think the tight timeline between the kidnapping to the murders makes this very unlikely. For reference, I'm a pharmacist in Indiana & have worked at CVS in the past (I worked at the Delphi CVS years ago actually, long before RA did). There are certainly...

TristanP- replying from previous thread wrt feces smearing: "No. Is it supposed to have more meaning than him being disgusted that it happened while he was severely mentally unwell?" My reply- yes, to me saying "Well I won't be doing that again," implies that he did that behavior purposefully.

Did you see the testimony where RA told a guard, "Well I won't be doing that again," with regards to smearing/eating feces?

Respectfully, based on testimony I have seen reported the volunteer was not thoroughly analyzing the file. She noticed a name discrepancy and reported it. It would have been negligent not to do so. <modsnip: quoted post was snipped>

My understanding is that a volunteer found the misfiled tip years later, not that a volunteer was responsible for the misfiling/mislabeling back in Feb 2017. ETA: If it wasn't for the volunteer recognizing the mislabeled name and bringing it to LE's attention there is no telling where the case...

Per reporting from TMS a photo album with many photos of the bridge & trail were found in RA's home during the search. His daughter also had professional photos taken there. I would suspect he had walked along the bridge tens, possibly hundreds of times.
