[Gay State Conservative]

As is sometimes the case in legal/police matters where there's serious disagreement I'd want to know the full details of the background of both the accused and the cop(s) before I come to any firm conclusions.

Any drug convictions,even minor ones (small amount of pot) against the accused? Any other noteworthy convictions against the accused? Exactly what happened with the "hit and run" part of this case? (possession of narcotics is a good motive for leaving the scene of an accident).OTOH,any disciplinary actions taken against the cop(s) involved? How long has he/have they been on the force?

What I see and hear here doesn't clearly tell me what *did*,or *didn't*,happen here.

Having attended both a murder trial *and* the hearing in Connecticut a few years ago in which Michael Skakel was requesting a new trial I've seen,*up close and personal*,just how slimy defense lawyers can be.

Note that the police did *not* release this video.

It was almost certainly given (or sold) by the defense to the NY Post, as the defense had to have access to it to build their defense, as required by law.

I suspect there is a lot of video that we are not seeing that is *not* exculpatory.
