HUNTR podcast- Big Ohio buck with A TN connection

It's all going to boil down to the evidence they found and where. I'm guessing the cell phones of the accused will come into play. Is there enough evidence to convince a jury he is guilty?
But the million dollar question, if the DA hadn't been hunting for the same deer, would this case have ever been investigated?

And should he have recused himself?
 
I believe there would have never been an investigation if the DA hadn't been a hunter and known about the big buck. But I guess we will have to see what happens. According to the first podcast I watched, the DNR came out and looked at the kill site and everything and never really even questioned anything. It wasn't until the DA got involved in it all that the investigation started.

This is exactly what I find wrong about the whole situation...

2 wrongs don't make a right though. In this case I'm glad the DA was a hunter so that the kid will receive the punishment he deserves.

If I remember correctly Cj said the DA claimed to have found his knife on the property.

So with the charges for the 8 pointer from the prior season, I am wondering if they found some trail cam photos of him on these other properties. If they do, I'm going to say he's going to be paying some hefty fines. And if he bought his hunting license after the fact, then he's likely gonna not get out of those charges. Not a smart criminal and definitely guilty. I have to change my mind and say he's guilty based upon the indictment. OJ got away with murder after having a good legal team. I think CJ not going to be so lucky
 
I'm honestly still surprised so many of you were quick to think he wasn't guilty and there was some backdoor shenanigans between the DA and wildlife officials. "Poaching for the gram" is amazingly common now days. It'd blow your mind if you knew how often it really occurred.

It only takes a few similar scenarios with actual shenanigans for people to default to being against the "authorities".

Just one more reason crimes committed by authorities should be treated with very serious consequences.
