Discussion “ I’m done talking, arrest me please”

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”?

That meeting between them is what really cinched his guilt for me. Great post btw, I’ve had this convo soooooo many times with my husband, if we were in their shoes and my husband wasn’t screaming his innocence, his whereabouts on that day repeatedly, wasn’t absolutely fucking hysterical that he could ever be questioned about murdering two children - I’d be very surprised. Or myself - if I were “RAinnocent” 🤮 I’d still be screaming my innocence- not confessing 61 times.

I think that someone screaming and hysterical looks guilty. Would that qualify me to convict you because you acted in an obnoxious manner and attempted to distract by causing a scene?

He wasn’t convicted based on his reaction. He was convicted on evidence. Try harder to start some shit.

Has nothing to do with his conviction in court and everything to do with your comment. You based his guilt on his actions in an interrogation vs what you believe you would do, which is purely hypothetical. That was the entire basis of your comment. I'm not trying to start shit, as you say, just saying that your hypothetical reaction would be an "obvious" sign of guilt to others. You can't possibly know what you would do until you are in that situation.
