I really hate to comment on the story. Probably one maybe two people know the true and complete story. You would think his lawyer would want him to keep quite about the case either way.

Has he mentioned a lawyer? Not sure this guy would even think to get one. He can't afford one for sure.

This guys father is a local detective, I would think he's heard enough in his life to think he can beat the law

If so, he should've cooked up a better story than this.

Was the city property adjacent to the DAs allowed to be hunted by the public? I know he said he shot it at his sister's but what if it turns out he did shoot it on the city property and there is public hunting allowed? Then what kind of law is he breaking? Lying to a cop? False reporting of a deer?

I went down a 30 minute rabbit hole one day trying to guess where buck lived. I just googled the DA for the county and then looked for the landfill and started clicking on properties around the area. DA or brother have several properties and then a development company owns a lot of land. There is plenty of park and other land heading south. I still have not figured out exact parcel that the half/sister owns where hunter says buck was killed.
With whitepages, I could figure out CJ's full name and see relatives, but I can't figure out the sister name to find the property. Girlfriend's name is easy as she gets credit for photos in magazine.

I would figure he had a lawyer. Thought I read where he sold the rack to a collector, and thats where the DNR went to get it. What a mess for sure.

Even if he is telling the truth. He has an uphill battle with DA and judge and all. Somebody thought they had that buck dead to rights. And they didn't get him. Somebody else did legal or not.
Random question for someone who might know. What happens in a case like this when the hunter is from out of state? Does ohio DNR show up at his door in TN? Does TWRA do it? Luckily I haven't done anything for green jeans to ever show up at my house yet

I spoke with the man who was scoring it for ODNR back when this all happened. Haven't heard anything more since then. It does seem strange that there has been no movement on this.
Heard the other day they had his knife and was found at a gut pile on the DAs property.

I don't think anyone in their right mind would leave their knife behind, especially if they were hunting illegally on someone else's property. I still say the DA is behind this! I'm waiting to hear what happens. I think they would have thrown the book at him already if they had found some legit evidence to charge him. I am beginning to think this is about like the Russia collusion case against Trump. All made up!

There were a couple of follow up videos and I feel the same way. If there was a case, he'd be charged. What's that old saying, a lawyer can indite a ham sandwich? If he killed it on another property, would not leave the knife or any evidence, CSI 101..But moreover, how in the hell could you clean the site up enough where no one could tell anything was killed there? How could you find the exact spot in that acreage unless you knew exactly where it was killed? How would they know that? All it seems they have is a complaint and a theory but all in an effort to help the DA.... IMHO

Yes starting to get to the point where conspiracies are getting thrown around. If the evidence was there it would already have been game over. Problem is instead of knowing a crime was committed. And then charging him. They accused him of and now are searching for something to hang him on. We shall see what happens.
Is this standard practice? If they have evidence, press charges. If not, give his damned buck back to him. This is ridiculous. I don't know if he's guilty or not, but I smell a rat, and it's not coming from the direction of the hunter.
I agree. No idea if he's guilty or not but if they aren't going to charge him then he should not be being punished. Sh!t or get off the pot. It's been months.
