No, did you bother to read the article? NOT hear/say - eye witness commentary.
In a Letter to the Editor published in the Chicago Tribune this week, Louisville, Kentucky, resident Jason Powell wrote how he was a witness to the Sunday incident that involved David Dao, 69, being physically dragged off a full flight before takeoff at OHare Airport.The disgusting mishandling of the situation included everyone from the rude ticket agent who demanded that this man give up his seat on the flight to one of the officers laughing in the midst of the incident, to the violent, abusive way the passenger was dragged off the plane by the officer, Powell wrote.
That’s what I said. Hearsay.
Anyone can claim “eye witness” status. Anyone can attribute any cause they wish to someone’s facial expression, gesture, or remark, but without evidence or other witnesses.. it’s hearsay.
Never allowed in court, but for the Court of Public Opinion, which, like noses, opinions can vary since everyone has one.
