What the hell are you talking about?
The police wrote down what the goon told them. They weren't there to witness anything personally.
So you can believe Patti LaBelle's bodyguard's excuses for beating somebody senseless, or you can believe a West Point cadet and a video tape that corroborates his story.
I believe that any news article that relies on the word of a lawyer whose income depends on spinning the case in a certain way, is not reliable.
There is more to this story, as there always is when the lawyer is doing the talking.
And yet, FReepers can always be relied upon to gobble up the skittles and unicorns story that the lawyer spins for them.
