Let’s try this devils advocate thing.
This is completely hearsay, assumption, & accusations..
What if... There is a connection between NR & SJ. What if there was a jealous girlfriend. NR passed out at that party as his parents claim & the jealous girlfriend took his phone. The girlfriend & a friend were texting SJ. Messing with her. The jealous girlfriend offered to pick SJ up. Mind you this girlfriend has NR phone. This girlfriend was picked up with NR the following night. NR had previously shared many of this girlfriends FB posts. Could this jealous girlfriend have posted on his FB that night? Was there really an Uber? (From my understanding the reporters get their information from News conferences & it was stated LE BELIEVED SJ summoned an Uber. However, they also stated this was NOT fact but merely based on the surveillance footage. Seems odd he made a point to say that.) Let’s say, this girlfriend + friend went & picked up SJ. (If SJ & NR did know each other maybe that was why she instantly jumped in the car. If you pay attention to the footage the car isn’t even stopped when she try’s to gets in. She has to pull twice on the handle.) Things could of turned ugly. Who knows. I would assume the jealous girlfriend + the friend could have been familiar with New Zion (where her body was found). Everyone seems to believe the car was covered in blood. Again, if you listen to the news conference they state “it was found in the trunk, passenger compartment... the phone was found in the passenger compartment as well.” So really no one but LE know the amount & where exactly the blood was found. So the next day, NR wakes up & finds his keys in the car.. What if this car had black leather seats. I don’t search my car when I get in, do you? I mean come on who drives around with blood & a murdered girl phone knowingly? Could he have just been that dumb, sure! Okay so then he is pulled over.. Why stop if your intent is to run? I’m sure he would of got much further by car. So he stops. He is asked to step out of the car. Did he run because of the prior charges? Did he run because he had marijuana? Could he just of been scared? All I know is in the interview with his parents they stated, he saw the blood. Why be truthful, unless you truly didn’t realize someone was murdered. Then we get to him being pulled over blocks away (stated in the News Conference) Does that mean he was out targeting another girl? From what I have heard, completely hearsay, NR was staying in Rosewood. That is also where her phone was last tracked (it is on the missing flyers so I would assume friends & the boyfriend believed it was a precise location). Therefore, could he of been in that area because that’s where he was staying.. From my understanding Roswood is blocks from 5 points. (Again, I could be wrong) Another question.. Normally when a body is found (mind you, in the middle of the day) it is then canvased off & searched. Why? To collect any evidence, find a murder weapon, & so no one can remove evidence from the scene. Why wait days to go back? Seems odd. (Especially odd that it was the following day after the parents made a statement) Personally I think it’s 1 of 2 things. 1- Someone came forward with information. 2- They need more evidence.
There are so many questions. We have wayyyy more assumptions vs. actual facts. Is LE saving them for trial? I hope so! Because we have no valid ID of him driving this vehicle (Until someone can provide me with valid evidence- he has not been ID’d driving the car.) I could bet if there was a valid ID it would have been released. All of social media. I don’t think that is being saved for trial. (I could be wrong) DNA? I couldn’t imagine not. Could someone of had his phone? Did someone else post on his FB?
No one TRULY knows! All I do know with the information that LE has released to the public - I would say for me personally it raises reasonable doubt. We shall wait & see.
I easily understand offering the other side/playing devil's advocate. I think for many of us it is a discussion of what prosecution may do and what the defense may come back with. It is also looking every which way at the minimum of information we have.
A few things. The car interior was tan per allegedly per his own FB pictures and pride of his nice ride.
While I too in the beginning thought there was no proof she actually scheduled an Uber, since then I have seen an article where it has been confirmed that she did indeed schedule one.
As to why would he pull over and then run? I would suspect like many of us, there is that immediate reaction of realizing we have LE trying to pull us over and we do as we are supposed to. The initial instinct is what do they want and perhaps he hoped and thought it would be a routine traffic stop. My guess is he realized quickly it was more serious than that and he took off, knowing there was blood and a cell phone in his car, etc. This is total speculation by me on this one though.
I do agree we have no actual proof or sighting that he was the one in "his" car. I, however, doubt we have seen what LE has with regard to that. In almost all cases, we always get just a snippet and a blurry one generally of any video and of what they have overall, which is held back. If they have proof, one can see why they hold such things, because he is locking himself into stories/lies such as he was passed out and it was not him....
I do agree that what he did makes no sense, no concern about the blood in the car, driving right back in the same area, no concern about cameras, the line of people outside, etc.
I do agree I do not live there and cannot pretend to understand how he may feel as a young black man. I though agree with others that I would not care if he was white, purple, black, green or periwinkle blue. I do not think he has been picked on by LE in general in his life at all as he has not much of a record. However, that same lack of record makes it difficult to understand why he did this.
Just speculation but I do not believe he and she had anything going on although I could see them knowing each other or recognizing each other in passing. Her bf said he and she spent basically every weekend together and she was a student and she worked. She received a full ride so I speculate she worked very hard.
What if she wanted to go home, had been talking with him and said she scheduled an Uber but it was going to be awhile and she wanted to go home? Could he have said, well let me go get my parked car and if he is not here by the time I pull up, I will gladly give you a ride? I actually could see something like that being possible. She was separated from her friends and wanted to go home...
If his jealous "gf" and a friend of hers did this? I just do not see it. Some do not believe he could put her in the trunk at his size, I just cannot picture this one at all. I can, however, see a gf being WITH him.
Just talking out loud and discussing...
That is not how our justice system works I know, but let's just say I'm glad I won't be asked to be a juror on this case.
