True....dunno. Just saying what I heard....maybe Stern was being nice and told the guy after a strenuous hearing...."Here, this will help---take some of these..." ;)
Could be. Probably lazy research on the part of the reporter. "Hey! This guy knew the and he died, TOO!" You know how they all want to the the first to break a story.
Who can forget that the third person in Anna's room when Daniel died heard her say to Howard "You did this! It's your fault!"
