You do understand after officer involved shootings, or any shooting for that matter, it's extremely critical to interview the witnesses immediately?
This is very important to get their account of the event while it is still up front or fresh in their memory. If this was not the case, the Sheriff, and all those involved in this investigation, need to resign.

I can assure you, OCSD knows *exactly* what the two young witnesses stated, that day.
No offense, but if ya believe Amormino's statement he did not know if the passengers statement was consistent with the deputy's statement, you'll believe anything.
