He didn’t go to the police! If he had gone to the real police, or to the state troopers, this would have ended YEARS AGO..
Contemplate that!
I assure you from real experience that the University Park police are real police. University Park is its own town with its own post office, its own zip code, and its own police force. If he calls the commissioner of the University Park police to a meeting to report what the witness has told him, I have no idea how you can refer to that as “not going to the police.”
You are right. He didn’t go to the police and anyone saying that he did is a liar. They immediately went in to coverup mode.
