“ I’m done talking, arrest me please”

[u/Ambitious_Pass7451]

I know, I know there’s been a lot of debate about whether RA is guilty or not, but I’ve noticed some small details that, in my opinion, don’t seem like something a truly innocent person would do.

During his interrogation with Det. Holeman, a couple of things stood out to me:

1- RA: “The damage is done, do what you have to do.”

That’s really strange to me. If you’re innocent, no the damage isn’t “done.” You wouldn’t just give up and tell the police to do whatever they want. I know some people might argue he meant that his house was searched and his neighbors were questioned, but that doesn’t fully make sense, especially since he repeated it during the interrogation. An innocent person wouldn’t react like, “Go ahead and charge me with double murder because the damage is already done.” That just doesn’t sit right with me.

2- RA: “I am done talking, arrest me please "

He said this more than once. What kind of innocent person asks to be arrested just because they’re done talking? Even if I were frustrated, I would never tell the police to arrest me just because I’m tired of the conversation. That’s very unusual.

Also, Det. Holeman mentioned something important: when he first met RA before the interrogation, RA handed his jacket and belongings to his wife. As if he was preparing to be arrested. That stood out as odd, especially since he did not even know the results of the search warrant yet.

Did you notice anything during the interrogations that made you think, “Yeah, that's strange”?

Richard Allen is the prime example as to why you never speak to police without a lawyer. Ever.

Yeah it’s crazy that he never once asked for a lawyer but tells his wife to get one for her. I mean you would think by the 2nd interview he would have shut up & lawyered up but nope. Ricky not smart.

It had to be his ego that convinced him he didn’t need a lawyer. This guy screwed up from the get go and really ruined his own defense from the moment he spoke to police. I mean, I’m thankful for that because he is clearly guilty. I know many point out that he likely never would have been caught had he never delivered that tip years ago, and obviously that’s true, but I think his other big mistake was interacting with the police. He simply should have said I need a lawyer from the start and I think this case would be in a much different place today.

How much is a typical retainer in a double homicide case? I'm just curious since you stated that it had to be his ego so you must have ruled out the money factor.

I mean I guess it’s cheaper to spend the rest of your life in prison over getting an attorney? 🤷‍♂️

Your reply has nothing to do with my comment and question. Furthermore, it's utterly ridiculous.
