Sergeant Randy Jones, Correctional Officer at Westville Correctional Facility, which is part of the Indiana Department of Correction, affirms and swears to the following:I'll be shocked if Odin is mentioned at all. IMO the defense used it as red meat to stir up people who either don't have much time to dig, lack critical thinking skills, or just love a good conspiracy theory. It reminds me of PizzaGate, or maybe more like the Sandy Hook crisis actor thing since it is dealing with dead children.
(4. That I do not practice Odinism and that Norse Paganism Heathenry is my practicing religion.
(5. That I do wear patches on my uniform that identify me as someone who practices Norse Paganism Heathenry.
(6. That I started wearing the patches 6 or 7 months ago and I did not stop wearing my patches until September 22, 2023, when ordered by my command to remove the patches.

John Galipeau, the acting Warden of Westville Correctional Facility, which is part of the Indiana Department of Correction, affirms and swears to the following:
(5. That Correctional Officers at Westville Correctional Facility were allowed to wear any patches on their vests until the allegations made by the Defense in their motion.
(6. That Westville Correctional Facility offers religious services if there are at least 5 individuals that practice the religion in the complex and to date we have not had more than 5 individuals in the complex request to hold services related to Odinism.
(13. That I do not have an agenda or a vested interest in keeping the Defendant incarcerated in a facility that is ripe with connections to Odinism.
(14. That Westville Correctional facility has very few inmates that practice Odinism.

When you type in “Odinism” in the Wikipedia search bar:

FTR, PW said in his interview they practice Asatru, which is also under the Heathenry blanket. Also FTR U.S. Odinism has different connotations than original Odinism.
I’m not saying this has anything to do with the murders, only pointing out it has been mentioned by someone besides the D.
