Thanks for responding - I wasn’t intending to imply I disagreed with all of your thoughts at all, just a possible consideration for the evidence delays.
If a pair of juvenile witnesses are walking down a trail, and they see a random guy walking by, how accurate are thy going to be in estimating his height?
your conclusion pretty much concurs with the point i was trying to make!
This doc, page 9, is a good place to start your search. IMO, it's highly unlikely that witness was 4' 8" tall in 2017. You have a good idea but I really don't think it would have mattered, considering the way stories changed from the original interviews to the trial.
I thought it was well done, and a decent overview for those not already familiar with the case. It was mostly concise with facts and presented the alternate third-party theories without leaning in too much. Maybe a bit dramatic with the RL topic. His ex-girlfriend received a significant amount of air time. I would have appreciated hearing exactly how LE ruled him out. Because I followed the case, I know about the fish store, but that didn’t come up on Dateline, or perhaps I missed it.

He saw them they saw him, there is no question on that.
It was good for anyone not familiar with the case but didn't really bring much new to those who are familiar. I was hoping for interviews with RA's friends/family/coworkers, the interrogations, the phone calls.

BW saw his hair & during trial RV (yes, different witness) said he wore a face covering of some sort - I would assume the 3 holed traditional burglar mask would be a bit too suspicious for public use but a neck gaiter or scarf wouldn’t be as sus. Skin is still visible through most face coverings. Didn’t get a good look at a face may simply mean one doesn’t get a long enough look to offer a detailed description but was able to tell the ethnicity. Not that hard to imagine. The BG pic looks pretty much as BW describes.
Jeez...her responses seem unnecessarily sarcastic. JMOI think the Dateline episode would have been better if they had, in hand, the discovery they asked for. Judge Gull said in her recent order Dateline sent an email on Jan 8, 2025 requesting discovery. I wonder if the email included plans to have a Dateline segment. The fact that she waited to issue her order until 2 days before the segment was scheduled to air makes me wonder about her timing.

Timing like the defense "wanting to apologize" for the leaks but never doing as such or making filings of their own on the anniversary of the murders? Yeah the wonder.I think the Dateline episode would have been better if they had, in hand, the discovery they asked for.

And this is Delphi, Indiana. Perhaps her frame of reference was that she didn't pay attention to race. But would have registered if it was notable. It wasn't notable, had to be white.
