Judge to finally unseal documents in murder of former state Sen. Linda Collins-Smith

After a year of secrecy and mystery, the public is about to start seeing records connected with the investigation into the killing of former Arkansas state Sen. Linda Collins-Smith.

During a lengthy pretrial hearing Friday in Pocahontas, Arkansas, Judge John Fogleman said in the coming days he would be unsealing at least 51 documents filed by investigators and prosecutors under one of the strictest gag orders ever seen by legal observers in Arkansas history. Fogleman did not say when he would be releasing the documents or how many pages.

"People need to be able to see what's going on," Randolph County Sheriff Kevin Bell, who's running the homicide investigation, said in an interview after court.

The judge's order followed a decision earlier this year to modify the gag order in the case and restrict how much the authorities could do without the public and the media having access. His decision came after ABC News and the Arkansas Press Association sued for access to the records.

Collins-Smith, 57, disappeared in May 2019 and her bloody body was found on June 4. Within days, authorities arrested Rebecca O'Donnell, 49, a longtime employee and friend of Collins-Smith, and charged her with murder. Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty against O'Donnell, who helped manage Collins-Smith's personal finances and motel business.

I have been following this case for some time through various outlets. There are people who have been very close to all of this, who are also now dead. Others have been silenced or gone off grid.

There has been a very significant coverup in all of this, and there are known connections to highly criminal Clinton activity.

However, when time had gone by, and the Clinton’s are, in the very least, somehow involved, expect records, [[especially “sealed” records]], to reveal nothing, or to somehow even get the Clinton’s off the hook.

Sealed records are a bright red flashing light to left-wing Deep State American, Chinese, and Russian operatives within the U.S., which have for over 45 years efficiently been grooming and guarding their critical U.S. assets.

In my long held opinion, the Clinton’s faces represent the apex of the highly corrupt and very protected global socialist effort of American subversion efforts.

As well, this globalist American subversive effort has long served and been exploited by China, Russia, and significant actors within the EU, to weaken American conservatives and now Trump, to subjugate America to international humanist and socialist political bodies heavily manipulated and dominated by China, Russia, and the EU.

Records of any kind are collected and vulnerable, especially those which could do the most damage to the faces of highly corrupt socialist and globalist subversion efforts “domestic and foreign”. Records are also imperative for blackmail and control.

Doesn’t matter at all, “chain of custody”, how they are sealed, or what methods were used to create and record them.

I still hope beyond hope, somehow ALL of their horrific criminal activity and all involved get unravelled, and prejudicially ended.
