"I need to repeat that every bit of this ethics hand wringing is based on the "confession" being an absolute. If it isn't and the rumor is false (which may very well be), this is all moot."

I counted three different press reports yesterday that were reporting this, and I am sure there were more. The ones I read cited law enforcement officials... The judge did unseal a bunch of stuff yesterday... I can't believe all the press reports had the same source...

I can't believe all the press reports had the same source...

I could me mistaken, but I believe all reports trace back to the San Diego Union Tribune as the source. That paper claims an unnamed LE source.

At this point there is no confirmation. As I said earlier, that fact was emphasized on local San Diego news last night; unconfirmed at this time.
