It is really fascinating to me that law enforcement has taken and released this many pictures and videos of this guy. Is it normal for a suspect to have this much media of them released?
It is highly unusual. With most cases, even ones with a fair amount of publicity, you usually get a mug shot and maybe a perp walk shot but that’s about it. I’m trying to recall if I’ve ever seen a picture of a suspect, even a high profile one, in a holding cell and I’m coming up with nothing.
This is an excellent gift to his defense attorneys as it gives them an argument with teeth on the issue of tainting the jury pool.
My only guess is that they are trying to make a point that he didn’t outfox them forever. Maybe discourage copycats who might have been considering doing something similar as well.

I bet he's going to get a lot of interesting letters in prison.
