The fact that the two sides are so different and have absolutely no simularity is striking and leads one to believe that the truth lies somewhere in the middle. Let's hope that the truth wins and the lies falter. (wishfull thinking)
In the interim, what is clear is that justice appears to be denied due to the lack of a speedy trial and missing evidence(for what ever reason).
If I advocate any position, it would be to quickly get to the bottom of this mess. His release or incarceration depends on justice being done. He is at least guilty of negligent homicide as I read it. Or, all these stories are complete fabrications.
I remain on the sidelines.
