” can’t believe that the district attorney would have made that comment just off the cuff. I think that is a very deliberate way of laying the groundwork to lower expectations for an indictment. Having prosecuted and defended dozens of murder cases, I know from experience that prosecutors don’t make those kinds of statements lightly.”
He later said he was. misinterpreted. Talking generically and. not about specific evidence related to this case.

Thank you for your comment. I read the so-called clarification from the DAs‘s office. This did not sound like a retraction. This district attorney looks like he’s been around for a long time. I don’t think he made a mistake when he referred to other evidence that does not support a criminal charge. I think his statement was deliberate and designed to lower expectations as to any possible charging decision. My gut is that the “other evidence that does not support the charge” he is referring to is the autopsy. But, I will admit , I could very well be wrong. We shall see.
