No idea if he murdered those people, but I can imagine the process he went through while fighting his previous charges would weigh on a man pretty heavily, and one of the murdered was a witness in the linked case. And having been through a similar, but shorter army career to his (minus the psycho wife and allegations against me), I wouldn't be surprised if he has some serious PTSD issues...a lot of my friends have it from similar experiences as his. Sad story for a highly decorated guy who spent 30 years in the military, which came to a very sad and unfortunate end.

But multiple murder charges from a civilian jurisdiction is another matter entirely. Trying to fake charges for something like that could get civilians fired, sued, or even jailed... especially in a high profile case like this where congressional attention is already present. Right or wrong I don't think this is indictment is just an extension of the previous legal harassment. Even if the local yokels colluded with the army, the state eventually took over the investigation.

As a poster said above about not reporting such actions; we’ll it could possibly happen out of some error, but it isn’t like they have a choice to report or not.

If this arrest came from a separate matter than his previous charges, I'd say smoke and fire. But it didn't. This is a continuation of what came before.
His on-camera interview certainly comes across as straightforward and believable.
Details will play out. I hope he has a good defense.
