I'm left wondering if RA committed more crimes in the 5 years he was free to roam. I guess I'm pretty confident the prosecution will prevail. mOO
I've wondered about crimes that he may have committed before this one. Seems like quite a violent act for it to be his first one MOO.

Oh my.

Is the defense team wanting to bring this up in this trial?

I haven't seen anything about that, either. None of the fillings I've read have any mention of such a thing; can you link it?

I believe this is it.

My impression is that they filed to withdraw after all the jurors were selected.

They may have looked at the jurors, made an assessment as to whether or not some of the jurors would have significant issues getting to all the areas, and decided it would not be feasible.
Thanks for this. I was thinking the same -- especially knowing the State already admitted exhibits and drones to avoid the same.
 
I think it is an appalling decision by the Judge to exclude the sketches
I disagree. The sketches were use as part of the investigation to generate leads. Police sketches of suspects based on witness IDs have always been very hit or miss. They are not intended to serve as positive identifications. JMO

He's certainly an outlier, as there are a couple strange things here. First is that he doesn't have a criminal record; there's almost always a build up to something like this. Secondly, double child abductions are incredibly rare. While watching that Evansdale documentary on HBO, I learned that there have been something like 17 events like that since 1970.
 
Any evidence that is submitted as well as any audio/video recordings in a court trial are apparently public records in Indiana.

I'm wondering though if certain material can be suppressed from public viewing if too sensitive. Eg Crime photos.
Yes those are confidential. I don't know about RA's confessions?

And two or three of those double events are linked to the Texas Killing Fields cluster, possibly by the same perpetrator. So it's even rarer than it seems.

YBG looks like RA in this line up, imo. Eyes, nose, mouth, lines at mouth, chin, eyebrow.

YBG has the same hooded eyes as RA. They don’t seem to be too common?

YBG is shown in detail with no depiction of clothing the witness being presumably close enough to see the face clearly could describe clothing as well.

So we can assume YBG is in RA/BG clothing since we don’t see and weren’t told otherwise.

Looking at this today lined up with his present appearance I believe the sketches, if submitted as an exhibit, could be helpful to the Prosecution.


all imo
