It\u2019s a primary reason why prosecutors charged the La Plata County man with the second-degree murder of his son. But Mark Redwine downplayed the tension between him and his son to law enforcement repeatedly after the boy\u2019s disappearance. So who\u2019s right?<\/p>\n
Prosecutors are asking 6th Judicial District Court Chief Judge Jeffery Wilson to allow Dylan\u2019s statements to family, friends and legal professionals in an attempt to convince a jury of Redwine\u2019s guilt.<\/p>\n
In a notice to the court, District Attorney Christian Champagne offered 13 conversations with 10 different people to be admitted as evidence:<\/p>\n
Text messages between Dylan and his brother, Cory, in which Dylan asks for \u201ccompromising photos\u201d to confront his father.<\/em>Text messages between Dylan and his mother, Elaine Hall, showing Dylan was unhappy about visiting his father.<\/em>Electronic communication showing Dylan would rather hang out with friends than his father.<\/em>Statements to a friend that Dylan did not want to go to his father\u2019s house.<\/em>Statements to a friend that Dylan was not excited to see his father.<\/em>Statements to a friend contradicting Mark Redwine\u2019s statements about the relationship with Dylan.<\/em>Statements to his brother\u2019s friend that Dylan didn\u2019t like being with his father.<\/em>Statements heard by Mark Hall, Elaine\u2019s husband, that indicated Dylan did not want to spend time with his father and rather intended to stay with friends.<\/em>Statements to Cory that Dylan did not want to visit and reasons why that explain \u201cthe tension that ultimately was part of the motive for the crime.\u201d<\/em>Statements to Elaine about Dylan\u2019s dislike for his father and his reasons for refusing to communicate with him before he disappeared.<\/em>Statements to his mother\u2019s divorce attorney, Amber Harrison, about how Dylan was uncomfortable being with his father because he\u2019d seen compromising photos.<\/em>Statements to a woman about Dylan\u2019s complaints about his father talking bad about his mother and brother, that Dylan wished his father wouldn\u2019t get so angry and \u201cthat he could stay away from that scary stuff.\u201d<\/em>Statements to a judge about Dylan\u2019s preference to stay with his mother.<\/em><\/p>\n
