Yes, according to the infamous 136 page script/memo in support of Franks. Perhaps Liggett believed it was one originally, and later over the course of a 6 year investigation, further or new evidence led him to believe it might have been 2?Not sure, but why would someone else walk back McLeland’s statement? Surely he could do that for himself.
Regardless, Tobe Leazenby stated in his deposition that he believed at least two people were involved. Strange (or not), Tony Liggett was adamant during his deposition, the day prior to Leazenby’s, that he believed it was done by only one person, RA. However, during Leazenby’s deposition he was asked if anyone else on the force shared his belief that more than one person was involved in the murders and he answered yes, that Tony Liggett shared his belief and they often spoke of it privately. Interesting. Either Leazenby is lying about Liggett under oath or Liggett lied under oath in his deposition. Awkward. (Franks Memorandum pg 43, 44)
I would hazard a guess that there are other LE that believe this was done by more than one person. It appears NMcL was merely echoing that sentiment. JMHO
That could have easily gotten confused or 'footnoted' in the Defense depositions. Did they ask or footnote the time during the investigation that Liggett believed this? They knew of a discrepancy, if true, (because Liggett went first), so did they drill Leazenby on that? When did Liggett say that, when did it change? Any decent Defense attorney would have.
Lots of investigators during the entirety of this case mean lots of opinions. Those who were removed from the case may have their own bias, hurt feelings or whatever reasons to be critical of other LE. It happens on a lot on high profile cases.
I believe we'll get more clarification around this during the Defenses' Contempt hearing in March which will be beneficial to everyone. IMO
