my bold above
I can clearly see how most of your theory may be plausable however I just can't get past my believing that Ron has a working relationship with LE [in the past and in the present]
LE continues to use kid gloves with Ron.
-RC's Previous charges for serious offences -->NO JUSTICE/SENTENCE served for them.
-Ron was NEVER charged with a sexual relationship with an underaged Misty.
*Ron's early days in jail with him(RC) talking about:
-LE bringing him the phone several times a day in to his cell, something that I've NEVER heard afforded to other individuals/prisoners
-Allowing longer visits with his Mother
-Moving him back to putnam so he could be closer to his Mother
-Allowing Ron to move into general population (Ron wanted this very much & LE granted HIS REQUEST)
-LE has NOT realeased ALL Ron's jail calls
-Currently working with LE to work out a deal out for himself by testifying against his underaged wife and Tommy
I BELIEVE RON'S A SNITCH/RAT
Everything is a BIG con to him(RC)
Ron's a snake who continues to slither by
I have a feeling that Ron's working relationship with LE is only when it benefits Ron. If he had an ongoing working relationship with LE, I doubt he would have been amongst the ones in the drug busts.
As to the prior charges, I don't know if any of them were felonies. Were the amounts enough to make them felonies? RC has also had a good attorney for many years. I believe Mr. Shoemaker has represented Ron on several occasions in the past. It's also evident to me that Ron listens to his attorney. He knows how this game is played. Ron was a little frayed when this last bust came down and gave DTreen an interview, but buttoned up soon after.
As far as giving Ron access to the phone, well yeah, sure they want him talking. All the while he is talking, they are listening.
As for Misty being underaged, who was going to testify against him? Misty wasn't going to testify against her beloved prince. Her parents signed a waiver for her to marry the man. Had they not married, perhaps at some point LE may have used that as leverage, but I guess we'll never know.
As to why LE moved RC back to Putnam County, allowed longer visits with his mother, granted his wish to be in General Population, I don't know. Do we know they did these things because it's what Ron wanted? If so, I'd like to know the answer to those questions myself.
The 15 year plea deal they are negotiating hasn't happened yet. Frankly, I don't see why they need his testimony on anything regarding the drug busts.
