There is no record of who drove the car to the emission test or who actually visited MD DMV in January. The expired registration is a worthless piece of paper. Most people just throw them in the trash. We are all entitled to opinions. IMO the leap from two admitted lies by JW is not as bad as some of the character assassination and imagined additional crimes he is being accused of here.
He has also lied numerous times about his age, to MSM and when participating in Skip Barber racing classes/competitions. I don't believe the interview with LE was an isolated incident. He also embellishes, like the IG post where he implies he is racing, when he is actually working as crew for Copeland Motorsports. Copeland only had 2 people racing that weekend and JW was not one of them.
That's a third option - maybe JW dug the Mosler registration out of the trash. I keep my old registrations in the glove compartment with my current one. IDKY - they're small and I'm not really sure what to do with them I guess.
I don't think we know that anyone visited the DMV in January. Registration renewals can be done easily on line. Someone took the car to have it emissions tested at the DMV facility, probably in early January or late December. I don't see why we should assume it was JW, who was not yet working for SS. The photo JW took was at Autobahn, not the DMV. It makes sense that PS and SS were there to drive go-karts while JW was working and that's when JW first saw it. If he'd seen it earlier, he probably would have posted a photo of it earlier IMO.
I am not trying to assassinate JW's character. We have limited information, most of it from SM JW posted. I am actually on the fence about whether JW was involved in this crime, but I would NOT be any more shocked to find out he was, than to find out an AIW employee from ten years ago was involved.
I realize we are making some intuitive leaps here, given the minimal number of
facts available to us. However, I don't feel like we are twisting the facts to support a theory. The facts, if lined up without dismissing them as harmless/immature/"youth today" paint a damning picture. My SM is not very interesting, but if I disappeared tomorrow and people tried to piece together my life from it, they would not find a bunch of self-aggrandizing lies and example after example of my failure to respect others' boundaries and unprofessional behavior. You wouldn't find an employer's expired documents in my back pack. (You would find my passport, because I travel a lot and keep it close so I don't forget it.)
JW could have nothing to do with this crime, other than being dragged into its center by SS. If not for the suspicious "trail" JW himself constructed before the crime, most of us would be sympathetic of his position. When we combine what he told us about himself on SM and what LE has told us about him through released docs, the coincidences can not be ignored. Maybe they are
just coincidences. I think in court coincidences are called "circumstantial evidence".
