It is quite a mystery, I remember when it happened and there was so much speculation about the cause......it would be good to know what happened but it sounds like a wild goose chase (I hope I am wrong BTW).

WRT hazing, the case in Texas sounds truly horrific. I doubt this is condoned by the university and by the national sigma chi chapter.

Update for Utah v. Tyler Robinson: A judge has ruled that Robinson can wear civilian clothing but must be kept in restraints during pretrial hearings.

The next court date for Robinson is January 16. He hasn’t entered a plea yet - is this length of time common in a capital murder case?

UPDATE - Utah v. Tyler Robinson: Robinson is expected to make his first in person court appearance today at 2pm ET. Here is the Court TV YouTube link to the stream.

It seems like this hearing will be a review of the “case status” and Robinson’s defense team will argue about limiting future media access.

Here’s a very good summary of yesterday’s hearing.

I’m not sure one way or another if the judge will allow full media & public access to the trial.

The next hearing will be in mid-January. Robinson still hasn’t entered a plea yet. Is that common for capital murder cases like this?

Is anyone following the Brown University shooting closely? What happened with the "person of interest?"

Was the "person of interest" just someone in the vicinity who had guns?

Was the "person of interest" just someone in the vicinity who had guns?

Do they have no idea who the shooter is now?

They are now investigating whether there is a connection between the Brown shooting and the shooting of the MIT professor in Brookline MA.

Authorities said Thursday that they’re looking into a connection between last weekend’s mass shooting at Brown University and one two days later near Boston that killed a professor at another elite school, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

That is according to three people familiar with the matter who were not authorized to discuss an investigation and spoke on condition of anonymity. Two of the people said investigators had identified a person of interest in the shootings and were actively seeking that individual.
