Sounds like Mireckis story has some holes in it and he has retained an attorney to keep him from digging them any deeper. I could be wrong about that but evidently the cops see it the same way if they asked him questions for five hours. Of course they could be wrong as well. We'll see.
My knee jerk reaction was that he hired the guy or guys to beat him up exactly in order to initiate a lawsuit. If so and he keeps it up, the next story on him could be an arrest for perjury and conspiracy to defrauding the courts.
