Followed this case closely from the beginning. What really sticks with me:

1) Two Guns. Possible for him to use two? Absolutely. But hard to downplay Occam’s razor here. Knowing the facts, I believe one shooter (Alex), two guns - but it does make me ponder.

2) seeming dichotomy of intelligence. He’s wily enough to use two guns to throw off investigation, but then shows ignorance in deleting calls from phone (any lawyer who has been thru any forensic discovery knows this is superficial). Smart enough to leave his phone at house, but dumb enough to take Maggie’s phone with him when he leaves? (She had location restrictions, but again her location still could still be in cache had faraday bag been used). Uses two guns to throw off scent, but dumb enough to use two family guns, with same ammo that is all over the house?

3. To believe his story on Cousin Eddie - you need to believe that a friend approached another friend, said kill me please, friend says cool, no problem. That either takes a friend who is an incredibly violent person (and who allegedly failed poly about being there on June 7) - or there is a lot more there.

4. The amount of money sent to cousin Eddie and other nefarious characters - way too much to claim it was only for pills.

5. The SLED blood splatter imbroglio only fell apart because prosecution inadvertently included a draft Bevel report in discovery, and a paralegal on defense team happened to catch that among hundreds of thousands of pages of discovery. A draft which found no evidence of blood. Pattern analyst only changed tune when two SLED agents came to visit him in Oklahoma… Without finding that, the defense would not have known to pull that thread, which thread showed how incompetent (and pliable) this “expert” was, to such an extent the state didn’t present it. Very scary.

The Monroe Transfer

Knife, belt or flask. This isn't hard.

No, but a friend of mine owns a construction company with some guys he grew up with - bunch of good ole boys that have done well.

Grown to be a pretty big operation. Their front office has five or so single room, single toilet bathrooms instead male/female. Actually I kind of like the setup.

Was there for a meeting the other day with them and some potential clients. couldn't help myself had to mention in passing at the end of the meeting that I was glad to see that they were leading the progressive charge, taking a proactive stance by providing bathroom facilities for all gender identities. They didn't think it was too funny.

"What we have here is a failure to communicate"

Remember how there used to be announcements at airports telling folks where they could "meet their party"? I thought there were actually parties there for them, with balloons and shite. Always wanted them to announce where I could meet my party. Never came man, never came.

Looking into getting a lab, probably will hunt a dozen or so times a year, the rest as a house dog. Grew up with male labs, never had a female. Going back and forth on male vs female. Anyone with experience willing to opine on pros/cons? Oh - and thinking of going with Wild Rose, so if you have any thoughts to share in that regard, please fire away. Thanks
