I hadn't heard of the other two witnesses before now. Apparently that information isn't part of the stuff being trotted out by some folks.
This is why I have formed no opinion about what should happen in this case. There is so much half-truth in the issue that it's impossible to find what's true and what's not.
Other two witnesses - Michael's brother and sister-in-law or Michael's sister and brother-in law, can't remember which, but his relatives.
