AC: and then he's, he's coming back at me and he's still got the bat and I'm like 'what are you doing?'
O: And where are you at?
AC: we're in the living room, and then I turned around and he hit me in the back of the head with the bat. So I went to my room and got my gun, cause I always carry it,
[...]
AC: I just went back in the living room I went 'what is your problem?'
O: With the gun in your hand
AC: Yes! And I said I want you to put that bat down and he wouldn't do it, he was like, and he came at me with the bat again, after he'd already hit me in the head, so I shot him to stop him.
O: Okay then what happened?
AC: That was it.
Just clipping this down to the core of his story.
If there is a police officer anywhere who believes Alex is telling the truth here, they are in the wrong job.
He has made the liar's classic mistake of forgetting to choreograph Charles' movements in his story. Charles hits him with the bat. Continuing in the same tone, he gives no description of the moment of injury, almost as if it didn't happen. Raging Charles who put Alex in fear for his life stays where he is, simply freezing long enough for Alex to leave the room, and get his gun. Alex returns with gun in hand and Charles just springs back to life, going at Alex again even though he can see he now has a gun.
He also waits to tell the officer Charles hit him until he's been questioned for many minutes, as if he hasn't quite worked out how to say it convincingly. That suggests to me nerves about the big lie.

Not to mention, wasn't his gun locked in a plastic case, if I recall correctly?
That's why I didn't buy this story the first time I heard it.
First of all, we've got CV who was a semi-professional baseball player, if he was mad enough to swing a bat at AxC he would have caved in half of his head, not gave him a little ouchie.
Secondly, as has been previously stated, we've got 3 different versions of the "bat story", not all 3 of these can be true. In fact, they are all probably lies/
Finally, If CV was that pissed, why wasn't he chasing AxC. CV is a big guy. I'm a small guy, and if I was pissed off at AxC, I'd be doing some serious damage to him, he'd be lucky to even get to his gun. I guarantee he'd have more than just a little scratch on his head, and I don't even play baseball.
When I was a hot-headed teenager, I took a bat and swung it at a solid oak dresser, and took a big chunk out of it, imagine what that would do to the human body.
So. all AxC ends up with is a little bump on the head. No bruises, no bumps. Evidently CV only hit him once? Really? Have you ever been pissed off at someone enough to attack them, and you restrain yourself to only hit them once?
Another question, is if they were tussling around, where was all of the bumps and bruises? One thing I do have experience with is wrestling. There is a reason that wrestlers use mats. From the video we can see that the house had a wood floor. There should have been bruises, possible bumps, and floor burn if they were tussling on the floor as LVD was claiming.
I think what happened is that they murdered CV, then AxC told either LVD to hit him in the back of the head, so it looks legit. How many times have we seen movies, where the guy tells someone to shoot him in the leg, so that they can escape. The only thing is, this ain't the movies.
AxC is wearing shorts and a t-shirt. If he'd been tussling with AxC on the floor, his shins would have bruises and floor burns at the very least. From what I can tell, it doesn't look like that is the case at all. You can't tussle with someone as big as CV and avoid this being the case, especially if this is a serious fight as has been claimed. Complete BS story.
They need to nail LVD to the wall for this, there is no doubt that CV was murdered in cold blood, and premeditated at that.
MOO
