Sounds like something that would only harm himself and his son. 

I ran into Charlie a few times over the years, never really knew him though. I was wondering what ever happened with this case.
Did some googling and found this which shows the court files. https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/64936484/united-states-v-barrett/

Looks like the trial got delayed a few times, now set for February 2024. There is a recent doc where he tried to ask for bail again and the government slapped it down pretty hard. Apparently they have recorded jail calls he made trying to get people to threaten witnesses and forge documents for him.

Wonder who else he’s reaching out to? Victims? Witnesses? Maybe the DA needs a heads-up.

Probably anyone he can.

On October 17, 2022 at 1057 hours Barrett placed a phone call to a friend, J.H. On the call J.H. and Barrett discussed what action he should take against the alleged victims because they reported him. J.H. stated “it’s definitely worth like after this all goes down, I don’t know, something.” In response he stated, “oh something will happen that’s for sure…in the courts or not.”

What a legal genius.

Any ideas who "J.H." is?

You left out the even worse second half

> J.H. responded “yeah, well don’t say stuff like that, that’s gonna get you in trouble immediately and more so and make everyone believe that you are capable of the things you are accused of. So you basically can’t think like that.” Barrett responded “well if I don’t get out of here I got people in here that I made contact with because they fucking put me in here with murderers.”

Seems to explain why defense counsel backed away from their new petition for release on bail as if they'd just peed on an electric fence. 

Why speculate? He’s going down.

I’m starting to think this Charlie guy is bad news 

About 7-8 years ago, I remember a thread about a bunch of inappropriately named routes going up near Yosemite. I feel like the names slandered an individual, and possibly even threatened them. I can't seem to find the thread. Does anyone recall this, and do we know if Charlie was behind it?

It's mentioned in the prosecution's opposition to the new motion for bail. Along with other threats.

Yes, and they are called “men”.

It's like you have tourettes Locker, that's some  unsubstantiated bullcrap you just thought up, and on a subject like this, and just blurted out on MP. Making broad assumptions about "most Americans" and then doubling down with "for that matter, they enable it" makes you sound like you're drunk posting dude.

I’m gonna give benefit of the doubt here to his post of “huge portion” as saying/meaning “too many”….which is true
