The truth is not all that matters.
I would take it a step further. There is no room for truth in court. If you have ever been in court cases, and I have been in many, the truth id very often an afterthought.
Look at those officers in Baltimore. Their lives as officers are over truth or no truth.
The officer in this case is toast. Truth will not help him. Even if there are compelling circumstances he is toast. He will not get a fair hearing. A change of venue to another state would be best.
Truth is all that matters to me though.
What happens in a court room is out of my hands unless I am a juror in a courtroom.
in this particular case, the officer has been indicted, so that means we are going to have further detailed evidence, which I will be interested in studying.
