Full breakdown of today’s Bond Hearing for Dalton Eatherly aka ChudtheBuilder.
Notes of interest:
- Dalton lied about reaching for Mace when he actually reached for his gun. There was no mace found anywhere at the scene, on Dalton, or in his vehicle. The mace was confiscated during the Nashville arrest.
- According to video surveillance and witness testimony, Dalton approached Fox first while live-streaming. Fox was there for a child support hearing, which directly disputes misinformation about Fox searching for Dalton. After a verbal altercation, Dalton walked away and Fox approached him and Dalton turned around in a bladed stance and reached for his gun in his jacket pocket. The physical altercation happened then. Fox did NOT physically attack Dalton first, again disputing misinformation spread on this app.
- Airline tickets to Istanbul, Turkey were found that were dated for tomorrow. bulletproof vest, a rifle, a shotgun, ammunition and a suspected bag of marijuana. They also recovered Eatherly’s electronic devices for evidence.
- Body camera footage from the day of the shooting was also played. In it, Eatherly told an officer, “He hit me, started wailing on me and I had to defend myself.” The officer noted that Eatherly did not mention any threats at that time. Dalton lied since it has been established that Fox never hit him until after Dalton drew his weapon, after approaching Fox first. This most likely will negatively impact Dalton’s self-defense claim.
- Bond was reduced to $1 million, with the judge ordering that Dalton’s crowdfunding money cannot be used for bond. If Dalton does somehow bind out, he has to wear a GPS monitor, must relinquish all weapons and firearms, and will be under a gag order with no interviews or social media activity about the incident. Also, Dalton’s passport application process would be stopped, and rescinded if it has been issued.
There’s a lot more here and it doesn’t look good for Dalton, especially because several of Dalton’s livestream clips and social media posts were shown in court. I know investigators have subpoenaed for the livestream to be released as part of the investigation.
