I've been following Richard Benjamin Trantham Jr.'s case closely and something that's really got me wondering is the nature of the relationship between Trantham and the suspects, especially Andrew O'Quinn. They were somewhere together before the shooting, yet it seems like there wasn't an obvious conflict noticed by Trantham's friends at the time. Why would O'Quinn ask Richard to step outside? Was it a setup from the start, or did something transpire out of sight that led to such a tragic outcome? The trial didn't clear this up much, and it feels like the motive is crucial not just for understanding the crime, but also for the sake of Richard's loved ones who are left with so many unanswered questions. It's frustrating knowing they may never fully understand why this happened. For those of you digging into the details like I am, what are your thoughts on what might have gone down between these men? Anything I might have missed in any witness statements or records that connects more dots?
