Skinheads and neo-Nazis sometimes use "Odinism" to soften their image, which is the only way I've heard it used in Indiana, as a euphemism for organized racism (Volkish, neo-Volkish, all white nationalism tied up in Viking aesthetics). I'm wondering whether this has been discussed around this case. Dave, any thoughts on the references to "Odinism" that you can share?

Everything happening with this case seems to be setting up a mistrial or the most obvious appeal in judicial history.

I predict a mistrial will be granted when Perry Mason or Ben Matlock utter the phrase "Odinism" during a point in the trial when it becomes clear that they are going to lose. It's not a big leap from leaking gruesome crime scene photos.
