I am not convinced that it is the most obvious one, at this time. Patton says, 'It's not a hit and run. She was attacked.' He is uncommitted to saying ' a car was involved.'. I took this to mean, a car was not involved in her death
But in his actions in secreting the body, which is rational, I guess. He would hardly use a wheelbarrow or his quadbike. I got the impression that some damage might have been done to whatever vehicle was used to hide the body away from Mt Clear, some altercation with a tree stump or whatever.
But he was clear and concise re no hit and run incident. And the charge itself implies a deliberate, person to person, face to face, shirtfront to shirtfront matter.
Lots of rumours about a bender, the one that was videoed was back in January.. not the night before... . .
But this is just my take on it, we don't have to fall out about it .. .
