Not open for further replies.
I got a different message out of the video. I thought it was telling. I found it threatening to children.
He tried to talk in circles but the message seemed clear to who he meant it for.

My fault. Sorry Kim. Off my game I'll follow.


Yup in another one "Don't be a sheep be a lion".

Threatening in around the bout way.
I was talking about if he has a girlfriend or not..not about the tattoos. Or am I misunderstanding what you mean?
 
Or at least legally, kwim?
I would bet there are some people out there that threatened him or that he threatened.
Where are all the places he's lived? Where do his relatives and friends live? Where's all the places he's worked? That's where his victims will be.
I don't get the sense that he plans out his attacks for any length of time on a particular victim, but rather it's always on his mind and he seizes the moment when it lends itself.

Agree. Constant criminal thinking.
 
There are 41 documents listed under the case, and every single one of them that is dated prior to the beginning of his supervised release -May 14, 2009-, I click on the link and get the “You do not have permission to view this document” message o_O.

He was out on parole from May 14, 2009 to December 7, 2010, IMO, per U.S. District Court
District of South Dakota (Western Division)
case #: 5:01-cr-50014-JLV records.

OK, so I got a private message from a mod and mistakenly thought I had to delete the screenshots I had attached to the post above, so I went ahead and removed all of them. But it turns out I didn’t have to do that :oops:. So here they are, just in case anyone is interested (the mods just wanted me to provide a link for the source of information, which I’d forgotten to do but has since been done).

And just for clarification purposes (because I’m getting confused myself :eek:), these federal charges are NOT even the ones that landed him in the South Dakota Penitentiary initially:
“(Pierre) – James B. Chadwell, a South Dakota Penitentiary inmate, was sentenced on Tuesday by Judge William H. Srstka, Jr. Chadwell had been charged with aggravated assault after attacking a guard at the penitentiary in March 2002. He was later tried and convicted in a trial to the court. Chadwell received a sentence of 10 years with 5 years suspended as a result of the conviction. He will begin serving this sentence after he completes a previous sentence. Prior to this event, Chadwell was serving time in the penitentiary for an aggravated assault conviction out of Pennington County that occurred in 2000.

Aggravated assault is a class 3 felony, which carries a maximum penalty of 15 years and/or a $15,000 fine.

Chadwell’s prosecution was handled by the South Dakota Attorney General’s Office.” (BBM)

Also attaching a couple more pages of court documents that I find somewhat interesting (pertaining to the federal case).

Is there a reason he has not been charged with anything other than the 1 charge of confinement? Why hasn't there been an assault charge brought yet?

Charges will likely show up on the court docket on Monday after Chadwell's court appearance.

Currently on the court docket, (the system is down until tomorrow), there are no charges listed yet.
 
Does anyone know if the little girl is still in the hospital or not?
I'm hoping she's home and feels safe. She obviously has a loving protective mother and a good community to support her.

We haven't heard but I hope so much that the little girl is in the following hospital: (and if she is - she could be there for quite awhile, receiving care for shock, trauma and therapy)

I hope too that's where they took her.
My other hope is that she's well enough to go home.

his fb profile says he is originally from la follette, TN. Not sure how he ended up in prison in SD, but maybe he lived there for a while? And also seems like he’s lived in several small towns in Indiana.

Eta: I agree about his crimes being of opportunity rather than hunting for want of a better term. And maybe that’s why he’s gotten away with other crimes if he has. He truly has no connection to the victims, he just happens upon the right set of variables and it’s go time for him.

Even if she was well enough to go home (which I suspect they would keep her longer for evaluation or treatment), I wonder if they will keep her in the hospital during his 72 hour holding period, or until formal charges are filed and we see if he gets out on bail. Do they do that, like as a safety precaution? Idk

They may be waiting to get all their ducks in a row to add in more charges. It has been reported that the little girl says he sexually assaulted her. So maybe they’re waiting for dna taken from her exam or dna of her taken from his house or something?
 
I've been looking into dog fighting busts around Indiana and there have been some big ones. South Bend, Indianapolis, Gary, Owen county, Kokomo, and so on. I wouldn't be surprised if he was involved in that, as well. Jmo.
Yeah, that’s what I was talking about, but didn’t want to talk about.

eta: and hope we still don’t.
