LE admitted initially thinking poi was white, understandable given the lighting conditions and perhaps, imo, p. correctness.
Earlier, posted my impression that poi was not white, but in some cases, that might be considered inappropriate.
Considering perp. has been arrested and found guilty, imo, job well done.

"Veteran homicide Det. Sgt. Gary Giroux took the jury through the anatomy of their intense 11-month investigation that ended with the arrest of Adonay Zekarias with first-degree murder. Zekarias, a fellow Eritrean refugee who attended ESL classes with Semret and once lived in the same transitional shelter, has pleaded not guilty.
Identity will no doubt be an issue at this trial and on the second day of the Crown’s case, a rather honest admission came from the lead investigator: He got it wrong at the start.
Giroux acknowledged that when he put out a description of Semret’s killer after watching the security video footage, he said police were looking for a white male; Zekarias is a light-skinned black man.
“I’ll state quite candidly,” he told the jury Friday, “I was mistaken.”
Giroux blamed a light mounted just below one of the Bleeker St. security cameras for the “bleaching” effect on the video. And in fairness, the blurry videos make it almost impossible to make out the complexion or any of the features of Semret’s murderer."
