One Possible Scenario
I think BM may be sticking to his story with his attorneys. Said good-bye at 5 a.m., she must have gone on a bike ride. Bike was mis-handled when it was found. Everything else, including his inconsistencies in the AA, he says, I don't know. The only defense that leaves is LE incompetence, which would imply every single one of the agencies involved screwed up. That's a huge mountain for the defense to climb. I think his ego is so enormous, he is so arrogant, he thinks he's going to get away with it. He always has in the past, and we likely have no idea of the scope of things he's done over the years. Except this time, he doesn't have Suzanne fighting his corner, where her genuine goodness was unmistakable. We all know that one couple, one is just a wonderful person, and the other is just unlikable and nearly unbearable for whatever reason. You put up with one because of the other.
I wonder how many people have given BM a pass over the last 26 years, because of Suzanne?
MOO
ETA: I can envision BM telling his attorneys, "Hey, I paid you x amount, you get me acquitted. That's your job, not mine."
I agree
@MrsWatson. IMO, BM thought since he was in with the small town local “good ole boys” club, you know being a VFF and all, was expecting the Sheriff/CCSO to back him/take him at his word, essentially that they would buy his BS bike ride, ML etc., narratives. Suzanne was devoured/eaten up, lost, or random bad guy must’ve taken her, she’d be classified as “missing” forever, and it would all just fade/go away. He thought because he didn’t care about Suzanne, nobody else did/would. Of course, he was stupid and wrong to think that, but N’s don’t think like the rest of us.
Anyway, good on the Sheriff to be on to his lying, ludicrous BS and called the CBI and FBI in to assist virtually immediately-by day 3. BM is so arrogant and delusional he thinks he can throw all LE including the 2 premiere agencies CBI & FBI under the bus, claiming all 3 agencies are conspiring, trying to frame him. Meanwhile, the DA/state has evidence that among others, he tried to exert influence over 2 CBI agents, an FBI agent, and an investigator for the 11th Judicial DAO!! It would be hysterical if this wasn’t such a sad, heartbreaking case.
That’s why I said in previous post, weak, very weak if this is what his defense strategy is going to be, to try to discredit all LE involved.
IMO, BM literally has nothing else but to try and throw multiple LE agencies and/or other people, his employees/witnesses under the bus attempting to discredit them. He/his attorneys will try to portray BM as the victim, everyone out to get him, LE, his “meth head” employees i.e., not only did LE mess up all the “evidence”, they had tunnel vision, didn’t look at any other suspects etc., his employees are lying druggies with criminal records and can’t be trusted trying to destroy their credibility etc., and/or after his attorneys throughly review the extensive 129 page AA and 10,000 pages of discovery realize there is no way to try to discredit LE as the prosecution has overwhelming evidence against BM which I believe they do, I wouldn’t be surprised if they try to attack Suzanne’s character, you know, put the actual real victim on trial strategy. What can they say about Suzanne? Nobody has one bad word to say about her, no proof of any affairs/lovers, ran off into the sunset to be with someone else. I mean, how could they possibly try to discredit his victim, Suzanne? Disgusting to think they’d even attempt this, but I wouldn’t be surprised if all else fails, they sink as low as trying to say it was Self Defense, Suzanne provoked BM during a heated argument, it was an “accident”, he panicked and hid the body. Awful, but I just don’t put anything past BM and his attorneys. And/or trying to get him off on some “technicality”/setting stage for future appeal etc.
At any rate, I’m getting myself prepared for all kinds of stuff to be thrown at the wall by him/his attorneys to see what sticks.
I’m sure it’s absolutely killing BM to be locked up in a “cage”. He must be furious about being told what to do, where to go etc., especially being the avid outdoorsman used to roaming free, tanning on his patio, cooking peanut butter burgers on the grill, coming and going as he pleases.
I don’t feel one bit sorry for him, at least he’s still alive. He’s where he should be. I bet he’s hoping his attorneys will get him out in August in time for hunting season. (insert sarcasm).
Let’s hope the Judge doesn’t grant bail/bond after the Preliminary hearing in early August.
Besides the serious charges he’s facing and state’s evidence against him, IMO, BM is also an
extreme flight risk and potential danger to others, so feeling pretty confident he’ll be denied bail.
Fingers crossed.
All of the above IMHOO
