Nearly a week after this incident, Jim Amormino, spokesman for the Orange County Sheriff's Department said he had no idea if the passengers versions of events is or is not consistent with the deputy's version.

Do you actually believe this?

Yes

You do understand after officer involved shootings, or any shooting for that matter, it's extremely critical to interview the witnesses immediately?

This is very important to get their account of the event while it is still up front or fresh in their memory. If this was not the case, the Sheriff, and all those involved in this investigation, need to resign.

You can bet the rent, there were formal statements taken from both passengers within hours after this event.

I can assure you, OCSD knows *exactly* what the two young witnesses stated, that day.

No offense, but if ya believe Amormino's statement he did not know if the passengers statement was consistent with the deputy's statement, you'll believe anything.

You can bet the rent, there were formal statements taken from both passengers within hours after this event.

I am sure that the statements were indeed taken, but the DA investigator. I can assure you, OCSD knows *exactly* what the two young witnesses stated, that day.

So now you're accusing the DA of leaking material facts regarding an on-going criminal investigation to the suspect and his organization? Really? OCSD IA and possibly homicide detectives may have access to those statements so they can conduct their own investigations at this point but the press office? No way.

It's all going to come out in time. I ask again: why are you so concerned to have the case file opened up before the case is presented to the DA and, if he thinks charges are warranted, the grand jury?

I've tried to engage; you keep evading my simple question.
