“Turns out the guy, who was no angel BTW nor was he a “jogger”, had possibly swiped a hammer from the construction site.”
If, as you say, he was no jogger then how did the idea he was a jogger get started? Who started that false narrative, and for what purpose?
Was the false narrative started and repeated to help the child of the neighborhood homeowner? Or to help some other party?
And wouldn’t a truthful narrative best serve the purpose of justice?
I have no idea exactly by whom, but I'm inclined to consider it media spin, like other cases we've seen before. Same media, different case however.
Media bullshit is worthless when the case goes to trial, though, as is discussion of it here and elsewhere in cyberspace. Frankly.
