Like what? Well, for example,
- why was the person being interrogated in his own house for hours?
-why was he shot at point blank range with three other law enforcement officers present?
- The victim was not armed. Why did the the FBI agent lie in the report about a the victim being armed.
- Why did they change the official report after they murdered him?
These questions have never been answered.
I'll second that. Thanks for the link.
wideawake, where's your link to back up what you posit, above, where he's shot once and the bullet exits the crown of his head?
Crime scene and autopsy photos are online.
According to news reports posted on FR here the Chechen had a knife.
Actually no, he doesn’t have the facts right, according to that article. The article says he was hit in the heart as well, by at least one of the 7 shots.
It does not say he was shot in the “back of the head.” Maybe, maybe not.
Most of the article is from the perspective of the family, the Dad in particular, who was speaking to reporters from Moscow, Russia. Or maybe that was from the perspective of Russian handlers, hard to tell from here. Russia is, incidentally, where the son was planning to flee.
It is interesting that the son resided in Orlando, Florida.
The father was also spewing bullcrap with the claim that his MMA fighting son could easily be handled by two men. That is just nonsense.
