But authorities say the frustrated students, responding to the perceived ethnic slight, did make some off-color remarks designed to inflame the suspicions. It worked. The nurse called the cops.
Guess these guys weren't quite so innocent.
You have to remember though, that this is what some of the police are saying. Other police officers have stated that they are not sure. The men themselves have not said that they did this. They are still innocent until proven guilty. Just as you would be if someone accused you of making statements such as this.
Time will tell. May be that when these guys start filing lawsuits, that much more will come out. For instance if they deny 'saying anything', and continue to suggest the Eunice made it all up... THEN we may hear from Eunice's son, who can corroborate that these guys did indeed say things to incite suspicion.
Some good cop, bad cop being employed with the story?
