    I never would have expected such an upstanding guy to actually be a violent criminal. /s

    I don’t know reviewjournal.com, I assume it’s a local paper and it’s possible that this person is well known but leaving out the party affiliation in the headline, in this case, isn’t helpful. Not just a republican, the guy’s a trump republiQan and that says so much about the guy that we could read the headline and go “oh. right.”

    The police documents outlining the allegations surrounding Tapp’s death include text messages between Rodimer and a woman identified only as Sarah. The police documents do not say whether Sarah and Rodimer’s conversation is about Tapp.

    In the police documents, Sarah’s last name is redacted. Rodimer’s wife’s name is Sarah.

    In the text conversation, from the afternoon of Oct. 30, hours after the Resorts World incident that would lead to Tapp’s death, Sarah questions Rodimer about child and spousal support and calls Rodimer a “monster.”

    “I watched you nearly murder. Somebody and I had to take your f—-ing hands off from his neck as he laid there and you ran away, and I spent the next two hours trying to take care of him. Nobody should have to watch their husband murder somebody,” Sarah texted.

    Not looking good for this piece of shit. Sadly, if that is his wife, Nevada’s Spousal Privileged law she cannot be compelled to testify against him unless she wants to. That may somewhat undercut the value of the texts as evidence against him.
