Voice of Reason said:When he speaks of believing or disbelieving, he is speaking about PEOPLE. However, McCrary's refusal to take the Ramsey's case was based on his belief that the EVIDENCE and FACTS of the case, which he was given at least to some extent at the time his help was requested from sources other than the media. I think you are twisting his quote into his ultimate conclusion, based on this EVIDENCE and FACTS, that he refused to take the case on a disbelief of the Ramseys. It is true that the EVIDENCE and FACTS, as he knew them, led him to that conclusion, but he turned down the case because of the EVIDENCE and FACTS, not because he had some prejudice against the Ramseys (absent the facts).
What evidence and facts can one deduce from media? Can it be assumed because it is in print, it is true? Can it be assumed that because it is aired on national television or broadcast over the airwaves, it is true?
Were you around at the time War of the Worlds first aired? Did you believe earth had actually been attacked by aliens because it was on the radio?
And no. McCrary had no information other than from the news media. Do you really think the BPD were sharing with anyone--oh--except for all those "leaks."
