A healthy mistrust of the news media ought to accompany that mistrust. In fact, I would place a stronger mistrust on the media. If I were to accidentally kill someone the charge would be manslaughter. That would be entirely up to the District Attorney that had jurisdiction, as it will in this case. Mitigating circumstances will definitely play a part, as it would if you were to accidentally kill someone. For example, I think if your car spun out of control on a wet road in a heavy rainstorm, and there was a collision with another car that resulted in a fatality, you would not be likely to be charged with manslaughter if you were not speeding or driving recklessly. However, were you over the legal blood-alcohol limit, you most likely would be.

Yes Mr. Rammer it is a difficult situation when confronted with a choice like this. Trust the Police, or trust the Media. Don’t trust either one of them. Can’t say who I trust less. Kind of like asking me if I would like to have Hitler or Stalin run my neighborhood association. Just a really tough choice. Media’s job is to enlarge the power of journalism, and the mission of the Police is to protect the State and it’s institutions. Hmmm, who do I trust here?
