Ween and the other titles from the unholy quintet always get thrown around pretty freely (the Guard Dogs were called white knights just because they stopped dumbasses from interacting with Chris). He's a "ween" because he decided it'd be a good idea to visit Chris in jail, or at least he would be if it was real
Can Heilberg legally stop them?
I think at most Heilberg could argue about the letters Chris told people not to post but they did anyway, and he could say some legalese like "When Mrs. Chandler wrote not to publicize the letter as a condition for receiving more, your receipt of more letters was a contract that your failure to meet constitutes privacy violation at the felony level of mail tampering as shown in the case Feldman V Arrington blah blah..."
Heilberg wanted the autism disposition, but there's no sign Chris has gotten it yet. The August review might end with "Not eligible for autism disposition, back to real court"
People are so quick to get angry at anyone interacting with Chris but its like... We are all here, watching on the sidelines. People want to hear about Chris updates. Its not like the guy tormented Chris or anything, he just got the scoop on some internet wierdo everyone is obsessed with. Do people not want updates?
No he can't but he also can't stop Chris from sending letters. Heilberg's a lawyer and the people who send letters are not, if he wants people to stay away from Chris he could pretty easily bluff legal action.
The trial taking a year long break is a pretty good indicator that he got it. They don't need an entire year on top of the year he's been in jail to evaluate him unless they're fucking around and want to keep Chris in jail as long as possible without actually sentencing him (which in fairness is a possible strategy of the courts, because as someone else said a while ago they could be keeping him until Barb croaks).
There's a lot of mitigating circumstances around the "autism defense", for example, Chris could larp as whomever he wants, but the minute he lets something slip like how he understood it was wrong, it's going to go out the window. If Chris acts high functioning, can get along fine, understands the proceedings, then it's not going to go well for him. Now what is really going to bite Chris, is statements he's made about what happened, at that time. If he lets slip things like "I knew it was wrong", or "She told me to stop but needed me to give that extra nudge", those are going to get him in hot water.
I really believe that Chris spilled his guts, either the same level of detail or even more detail when he was being interrogated by the police. At that time, Chris was high on life during his arrest, and seemed pretty happy. Those are the times Chris can't keep his mouth shut.
This could be the case. It could also be that Heilberg knows Chris can't shutup because of all the damage he did to his case already and knows he can't stop Chris from writing whatever he wants, so his only recourse is to threaten legal action if Chris blurts out something that will hurt his case and doesn't want it online.
I vaguely remember about hearing that staff watch inmates take their medications (I think it was during a documentary about prison though, not jail and most likely also not in Virginia), it makes sense since certain medications would be a top currency and there's a good chance a number of inmates would just crush certain medications and snort them to get high, also wardens likely don't want inmates with mental health issues to become mentally unstable.
About that - Chris states in a video he's attenting a college class about caring for people with dementia (Which he refers to as an umbrella term) so unsually Chris is actually educated on that subject, or should be but he went out of his way to take that class.
I think the autism deferral changes a ton of things which are certainly not all to Chris’s benefit. Because they are technically not punishing him for a crime, the authorities likely are able to impose conditions that they otherwise couldn’t. “You’re choosing this yourself instead of a conviction; we aren’t forcing you to do it.” The letters may not have any impact in a trial setting, (or negotiations where the threat of trial is implied,) but they could make a difference in a review related to the deferral. That’s just a guess though.
Lawyer Kiwis have said the letters are irrelevant and the lawyers won’t bring them up.
This makes me think of the trashraider. I agree that it was a retarded thing to do and I don’t want to encourage that kind of stupid behavior. But the school documents he got from it are great. Maybe it’s like using things we learned from Nazi experiments. The method was appalling, but letting the information gained go to waste doesn’t achieve anything.
I'm happy to make one if we think it's necessary. It seems like it's more than likely a real visit & the reddit spergout was pretty fucking funny. Tagging @The American Hedgehog to check.
Not without more evidence that it happened imho.
No, not really. Chris can see whoever he has on his list. The only people who could stop him would be the jail itself, and they'd need at least some kind of reason.
They're not totally irrelevant but nothing would be gained by introducing them, and they might be excluded on a number of grounds (hearsay and the chain of custody being through utter autists for instance). I think only the prosecution would have any interest in using them.
Looks like a blanket of a cardinal in a tree. Probably used to keep the sun out.
