Couldn't agree more on most of this, but if the guy went to all this trouble to conceal his homicide, actually moving the remains of the deceased, he's scheming and manipulative-- and that's aside from being truly vicious. And you can see that viciousness in his "explanations" like with the chipmunks. It's almost mocking to offer something like that as some kind of "explanation" in context. He jmo appears to be misogynistic, now placed under restraints by a woman judge. I can't picture him being too happy with this arrangement. I do see flight risk in that scenario, and if there were actual flight-- then anyone that has willingly entered into such a position, a fugitive from the law, becomes potentially dangerous. If he takes flight-- if he does it, he's just commited a gross violation of law, and it will be too late at that point to stop him from committing other gross violations. So I can see where people are coming from on this because by the time they catch up with him, what has he done in the interim?
However, with all that said, totally agreed with you that he's done. That judge jmo boxed him into a corner with the modified terms. This is a no-win situation for him-- unless he actually makes a good case for genuine innocence. And agreed further that this arrangement he's shelling out non-refundable dollars for right now isn't "freedom." And that makes me wonder why Shoelaces is doing it, I know why he'd say he's doing it. Would be concerned as to why he's really doing it, again all jmo. He does have rights, he hasn't been convicted as of yet.
What I dislike most about this arrangement is it gives him a chance to arguably gain some credibility perhaps in the minds of some (or even many) by simply abiding by the law, and I do think he will abide by it-- but only because it suits his interests to do so. I really do think if he intended to take flight, he'd have done so before he was charged again. So I mean it when I say this: I think he actually does believe he might wriggle his way out of this through legitimate means. Not happy to see him out. I feel horrible for people that are undoubtedly devastated.
Great post
@snooptroop88. You make some very good points which are well considered.
Jumping off your post-
I think BM moved SM’s remains to further his fake bike ride abduction narrative to make it appear credible either to boost his chances of winning his $15mil civil lawsuit, and/or *if* Suzanne had life insurance that he or their 2 daughters were the beneficiaries of, she would be declared deceased sooner than the standard 5-7 year wait period so he and/or daughters’ could collect life insurance payout. (it was discussed awhile back whether someone with cancer could even get life insurance and discovered that yes they can there are some insurance companies out there who offer it usually at higher than average premiums, just have no way to verify if SM did in fact have LI).
I don’t believe he knew that BAM could be detected in the system after 3.5 years. Whoops!
I definitely understand the point of view that if BM was going to flee he would’ve done so a year and a half ago after it was revealed that BAM was found in SM’s bone marrow.
IMO while I think it’s probable he very likely did contemplate fleeing back then, he ultimately decided against it. Here’s why, I think he knew it was inevitable he’d be arrested again and that fleeing would make him look guilty and probable guaranteed conviction because why would an innocent man flee? IMO most juries would heavily side eye him for fleeing if he were innocent. I think that very likely could have been his thinking at the time. Now, some may say well he’d have fled to a country with no extradition treaty with the U.S. and I would have agreed until I learned that fleeing to a country without an extradition treaty with the U.S. is not a guarantee you won’t get extradited back to the U.S.
snipped from link below, B&UBM: “
Sometimes you can hear that a person is “safe” because they are in a country that does not have an extradition treaty with the USA. This is a dangerous misconception.
The absence of a formal agreement is not a guarantee that extradition is impossible”.
If I can find this info via a simple Google search, so can BM.
At any rate, this is BM we’re talking about and besides the aforementioned reasons I think he decided not to flee, I truly believe his arrogant self thought and still thinks his lawyers will get him off which imo also factored into him not fleeing prior to his 2nd arrest. Basically imo he decided to roll the dice and stick around so as to not look guilty to the public, more importantly a Jury, and is hoping and hanging on a wing and a prayer that his Attorneys will be able to get him off.
IMO if as this new case in the 12th JD judicial proceedings progress and things are not going BM’s way i.e., Judge ruling most state’s evidence admissible, denying most Defense motions, sustaining most of state’s objections at trial, overruling most Defense objections etc. IOW, if he sees/realizes his case is tanking circling the drain and high probability of conviction and being locked up behind bars for a very long time possibly for life, imo him fleeing is more plausible/probable as he’ll know he’ll very likely be convicted
will essentially be over for him and out of options. This may sound far fetched or like a bad episode of “Dog the Bounty Hunter” but history proves these things have happened in real life- say he cuts off his GPS monitor and flees to the vast mountainous woods with intention of living off grid, the bondsman/bounty hunter will track him down wherever he flees to, whether it’s the woods of Colorado or a foreign country with no extradition treaty and haul him out of the woods or LE will make a deal with the non extradition country to have him extradited back to CO.
He might off himself in the woods or in the foreign country if he has the slightest inkling they’re about to find him because similar to FD, I believe BM would rather be dead than locked up behind bars for the rest of his life.
Maybe he won’t attempt to flee at all if things are looking bad for him during judicial proceedings and decide to just off himself in the bathroom, bedroom, living room, or garage of the residence he’s staying in before anyone’s the wiser/notices he’s missing.
IMO BM is never going to confess/admit guilt, offer to plead guilty. I’d be absolutely stunned if he did. Put it this way, I think I have a better chance of winning the lottery than BM doing any of those things, the fact I don’t play the lottery notwithstanding. IMO he will claim innocence until his last dying breath.
