Seems to me the same ole' same ole'. RA=BG=Killer and he won't be getting another trial IMHO. I am glad the State is taking its time to answer, always better safe than sorry.

If anyone has any doubt that it was him, listen to his LE interviews and look and listen to the man on the bridge. That will erase any doubt along with all the other evidence...like his confessions, him placing himself there at the time, etc.

The timing of RA's psychosis is just soooo conveniently close to the same day or so that he was given the State's evidence against him. He knew he was done and decided to make a snack out of it. Hah

Go away and stay away RA, you've inflicted enough pain, on enough people, for long enough.

For sure I think he's guilty, I just thought that article had some more of what he was doing/saying that I hadn't heard before.
I feel like his Bible reading or guilty conscience got to him enough that he wanted to confess to his wife and mom for his own sake, but not be held to it so he played crazy at the same time. He sounded very coherent in the confessions I heard.

Nah, I do not believe RA’s appeal will succeed, and am not interested in reading one more tortured attempt at getting this child killer back on the street.
I do however want to hear the State’s response and I check everyday just in case they get it in early.

I was eye rolling at RA not your post @flashy09, I'm sorry, I hope it didn't come across that way.

I believe RA played crazy like a fox once he found out the evidence against him. He's a master manipulator IMO, plus I'm sure the Ringling Brothers Defense Duo urged him to be as crazy as possible once they got the call from the Mrs. saying he was confessing on a recorded line.

I think his Poor Richard Bible 'show' during court was a complete farce. Judge Gull said after the verdict he was very hostile looking towards her, rolling his eyes at witnesses and his physical outbursts while being held in jail during the trial.

Sounds like an Explosive Temper, NARC, Child Murderer to me. I hope he rots behind bars.

Iirc the worst of his in-custody behavior was a reaction to his wife and mother pulling back contact in order for him not to continue confessing to them.

I suspect there was a not unfamiliar history of that. Sick dynamic. Act out, get attention, get reinforcement for acting out. Like a petulant child.

And his other pattern -- threaten to take his life. Mental health/suicidal ideation is one thing; he however was employing emotional manipulation, coercive control -- it'll be your fault if I die so you need to [insert demand] or I'll die and it'll be your fault.

This depraved adult man, abducted two little girls at gunpoint, for the purposes of SA, terrorized them, forced them to undress, had 14-18 minutes alone with him -- the horrors of which we don't want to imagine -- before fatally slashing them and watching them bleed out, and the only thing that mattered to him was whether his mommy and his wifey wouldn't be mad at him for doing.

He wanted assurance that they'd love him and never leave him.

No ownership of the terror he inflicted on two little girls, the nightmare to their families, the eternal loss, the bottomless grief -- love with nowhere to go.

Just his own sorry comfort.

Revolting. He wasn't psychotic. He was acting psychotic because it was the first time probably in his lifetime that he had gone too far, and the thought of them not talking to him was more than his fragile self was willing to accept.

Never mind that the interruption in communication wasn't because they no longer wished to talk to him for having killed two little girls but rather IMO on the advice of counsel, in order to shut down the confession pipeline.

RA was never being cryptic. He wasn't ever even confessing for the forgiveness of the matter. He wanted to be unburdened by it. He knew he did it. And he knew what evidence the State had against him. IMO he accepted both.

It was his attorneys who constructed a narrative to get him off, bolstered for or by his wife and his mother. Personally, I think RA thought it would be a waste of time.

RA: I don't know if I should trust [my attorneys].
KA: you can trust them.

Once again, guilty-not guilty didn't matter to him. He just needed to know his wife and mother would still love him.

Then he'd be a good boy and behave. Which is apparently what he is doing now, in the same "solitary confinement" as before, which of course it never was. Segregated wing, segregated cell, for his own protection.

It's the pathetic RA, all about and only about him.

I'm happy to leave him behind.

Enjoying the freedoms he'll never have.

Yep, that is when he found out they had found that bullet.

(respectfully bolded) I can't help but emit a wicked chuckle on this. They really were like a circus act. I will never forget that trial, by the end, it really was AODDI, any other dude did it. (Who can we find??) Literally nobody was beyond suspicion in the eyes of the "defense"-- except "Rick," of course.

I hope this serves as a cautionary tale for defendants who pursue this line of "defense" in the future. The best defense isn't always a "good" (i.e. aggressive, maybe as crazy as you are-- but with a law license) offense (jmo).

He'd have rotted anywhere, behind bars or not, but jmo. But as they rot, they take more victims, so best to keep them where they belong.

Tragic he couldn't have always been where he belonged.
