Now that Chris is finally moving to a new home, what would make of his pets? I know they are still living in a different home within his old neighborhood and all, but it still makes me wonder.

He isn't getting paid. He does it for free.

Not enough. His client is one of the most documented people in history, which means there's a lot of material that could have been admitted and used as evidence.

I doubt that last point

Chris may be heavily documented but almost nothing on, say, sonichu.com is admissible in court (a lawyer would have a field day if a prosecutor pulled that)

Oh I bet the videos would play in court (the legitimately archived ones, not the ones from Sonichu). Plus you've got ILJ recording phone calls - I don't know about the laws of New Mexico and West Virginia, but I suspect their one party consent states.

The recorded phone calls, a decent defense would just tell Chris to say he was trying to impress ILJ or something, as she told him he liked to hear incest fantasies.

Private conversations like that are not usually good evidence. Chris claiming stuff over the phone is not exactly definitive.

In any case, this isn’t the crime of the century. From the perspective of the authorities involved, it’s a fucked up family of exceptional individuals.

By the results of what happened now, it seems that the authorities looked into this situation, decided enough was enough and have made moves to contain Chris and separate him from Barbra.

I don’t know how deep they would have dug into christory but Chris certainly would have told them he is internet famous, so as a result of that they probably looked enough to understand that Chris and the internet are a bad combination.

Sure he committed incest, probably rape too, certainly theft and elder abuse, but he is a messed up child-man rather than a full on predator.
Rightly or wrongly, they seem to think it’s better to put him in long term care rather than criminalize him so he winds up a suicide or murder victim down the line.

In a way it's surprising he hasn't yet. It's not like he doesn't have the capacity to do so considering how he's playing pokemon go. It's to early to speculate on why he hasn't come back and proclaimed himself Jesus Christ on account of the fact he couldn't shut the fuck up about it in the jail letters.

give it time. if chris is roaming free unrestricted it wont be long before someone drags him back online even if he is actually not interested in coming back.

Even if he had some computer in a common room at the group home I'm not sure if Chris could puzzle out how to download and install an emulator without someone holding his hand through the process. If I had to guess how he's playing it, I'd say its more likely Chris is playing pokemon go on whatever public wifi he can steal on a phone with no sim card or a deactivated one. You also don't need that good of a computer to run bluestacks.

Chris makes incredibly stupid decisions, but he is not technologically illiterate. He could operate an emulator if he had access to one and the desire to use it. Chris was playing video games on a Commodore 64 when he was in his nonverbal phase, he is able to use software like Photoshop, he built webpages in HTML, and he obtained an associate's degree in CADD, and I don't think Bob could have done ALL his work for that. Chris is likely better with the technical side of technology than a lot of people in their 20s nowadays.

Emulators require a more powerful machine than the device they are trying to emulate. A group home's common room PC might be pretty crappy - think a Dell office PC with integrated graphics and an operating system and browser a couple generations behind, with some software to prevent accessing potentially dangerous websites and account restrictions preventing the installation of damaging software. Maybe some keys chewed off the keyboard. I think Chris is using a smartphone, perhaps one of his iPhones, to play Pokemon Go, but I don't know what kind of internet connection he might have on it.

I could be wrong, but I think lawyers in Virginia are expected to take a small portion of their time each year to represent charity cases like Chris. Heilberg was assigned the case and he got paid, but much less than a lawyer of his caliber would normally be paid. It's like doing public defender work, but Chris's case is more complicated than the usual cases an overworked public defender would be given.
