Are you saying it's more likely that LE can't keep track of JW's true stories and is convoluting them into something that doesn't make sense, rather than JW made two contradictory statements, only one of which could be true? Do you think LE has failed to accurately record JW's statements (which were recorded/videotaped and/or signed by the witness)? I've been trying to figure out a way to make all of JW's statements true, and have only been able to do that with some pretty "out there" speculation. Could you share how you think these statements can be worked into a plausible narrative? It's tough, because there's so much we don't know. I think it's a pretty bold assertion that the people in charge of this case can't/haven't grasped the basic facts. I feel like you must have a good reason to think that. TIA.
LE sometimes cant even keep track of their own knowledge and statements.
Youre right, theres so much we dont know.
But here is an example of testimony during the Preliminary Hearing where, per the transcript, Owens responses are confusing regarding where the manila envelope originated from.
PH transcript pages 33 and 34:
Defense Attorney Ago questioning.
Detective Owens answering.
Q Um, what W-1 then told the police in terms of a different version of events was that
he placed the money from the bag in the manila envelope -- into a manila envelope that he had in his car, correct?
A That was in -- repeat the question.
Q Yes. W-1 had the money in a bag with red lining, and moved that money into a manila envelope and
that manila envelope was something that he had taken from his own car?
A
That was my recollection, manila envelope was in the red sports car.
Q
Was in the red sports car?
A
Right.
Q Okay.Um, detective, do you still have Government's one up there?
A Yeah.
Q Could you look at paragraph 15 please at the bottom of page four? First sentence of that paragraph.
A Yes, first sentence.
Q Okay, do you see where at the end of that sentence it says that, um, that W-1 essentially placed the money in a red bag -- I'm sorry, strike that.W-1, when it arrived at Mr. Savopoulos's garage,
it placed the money inside a manila envelope that was in its car.
A Yes, you're correct.
Q
Okay. So the envelope was something that W-1 had in his own car, correct?
A
Yes.
