There are allegations he was pressured to change his story. I don’t know if it is true or not, but wouldn’t surprise me a bit considering the political context.
I imagine that there was, but there is no way to really tell which side the pressure would come from if not both sides at the same time.
I feel for that guy, I would not want to be him. Wrong place, wrong time.
Allegations aside. The man was on camera saying he feared for his life.
