Wow, I just listened to la Rionda’s interview of Dee Dee. She only knows what she heard in the media:
1. Mentions he said he bought iced tea
2. Said he wanted to get home to watch the rest of the NBA All Star game
Both of these are false - the beverage wasn’t tea, and the game hadn’t yet even started. But, both items were widely reported in the media.
Actually it is "leading her on" Bernie who puts those words in her mouth:
"Dee Dee: When he was leaving the store, he just told me that he bought drinks
[then later]
"BDLR: OK, thank you. Um I think I already asked you, but let me make sure he did tell you what he was at the store the store where he had gotten candy or something, and you said iced tea, right?
Dee Dee: Yes.
She never said "iced tea" [or even "Skittles"]. Bernie said "iced tea" and she agreed like a good coached and tampered witness.
Thanks for the details.
