I am mostly encouraged by recent developments. I can't think of a single thing Ray has said that has been untrue. I'm not sure how it has come to pass that he is mistrusted. But your skepticism -while I don't feel it- is certainly not unique.I don't feel totally confident in things J Ray has been saying for a few months but he has attempted to keep SG's case in the public eye, and has, of course, kept things moving in court.

One thing that makes me very hyped is Commissioner Harrison encouraging tips, including through John Ray or any non traditional route if not calling LE directly. It coukd be that a number of tipsters who were ignored under Burke will ONLY use other routes. And there is reason to believe tips were not used or welcome. LE seemed to ignore, lie about, and lose evidence in the past.
Tierney's statements took my joy down a notch, however. It's ridiculous and arrogant to expect all people to trust LE in this circumstance. Basically, he was saying he would rather not get info than have it come through John Ray. The appropriate thing to say would be that he understands skepticism because of the pre-task force investigation, but he knows the whole task force is determined to earn public trust. He hopes witnesses call the tip line. But if SC has not earned back your trust yet, there are other options.
