So what was this again, Dee Dee is alleging at the moment of truth/falsehood, forget what went before? That she was told by Tray that Mr. Z was bearing down on him, bent on a brawl?
This is not a good representation of what being “Christian” is. This does not mean buying in to every sob story. It means looking at the reasons for believing what they believe.
I agree, and one should value the quality of steely-eyed objectivity in a prosecutor.
But Corey made a point of telling the public she prayed with the Martins, and if DeeDee is who I think it is, DeeDee also professes a relationship with Jesus Christ. I have a hunch that reason went out the window.
Not for the same "soul sister" (in a Christian sense, not racial sense) reason, but Bernie de la Rionda's interview with DeeDee is leading as all get out. He talks more than she does, and seems to be approaching the interview from the point of view of a shared, known scenario. He believes he knows what happened, and he 1) believes she heard it go down the same way so all she's doing is filling details and 2) expects her to tell him a story that aligns with the one that he has preconceived as true.
In short, he does not treat her as an objective skeptic would treat a witness.
At least the special prosecutor's office isn't criticizing SPD's investigation, at least not publicly.
