I'm not sure why these motions aren't sealed. Defamatory to people who have not been charged with a crime, as well as revealing the identity of tipsters. Bad, bad form.
This is all very transparent to me. Conflate missing things and insist there are smoking guns within.
IIRC the Defense has not substantiated a SODDI defense ... but is attempting to do so in the public sphere.
IMO LE has narrowed the time frame and probably did get data dumps for upwards of a hundred people who may have been at the bridge from say 1 to 5pm, which would include searchers as well. LE doesn't and can't get into any and everybody's phones!
If BH is captured, say, on cctv AT HIS JOB between noon and 5pm plus/minus, how would they ever even secure a warrant? Without probable cause? He may have been looked at hard, had little to offer, but a solid alibi. Next.
And I see the Defense is back on pings. Useful data for finding a phone in real time fast, but nowhere near the precision of GPS/CAST analysis which assuredly has been handed over.
The Defense is trying hard to move the crime window beyond 7 pm or even into the next day, likely to a time where RA has an alibi and for which others haven't had to supply one. They're trying hard to get RA off the bridge.
To me, this is akin to finding a body in a serial killer's dumping ground, only to have digital and forensic evidence linking a single person to the crime, completely unconnected to the serial killer. Would the serial look good for the murders? Sure. Known killer. Familiar location. And LE would surely investigate that, but they follow the evidence and the evidence points at the lone wolf, that's where they go. At trial, the serial killer is a patsy SODDI but they have to bend the facts to even pretend he's responsible and unless it meets the requirements for SODDI, a judge can rule that it's NOT RELEVANT and rule against testimony at trial.
Just because someone considered someone and questioned them doesn't mean they are a suitable SODDI under the rule of law.
I am not a lawyer but I find it GROSSLY INGENUOUS for the Defense TO NAME innocent people as THE MURDERER/S without even filing a proper SODDI Defense.
Reckless IMO.
