BBMYou know, I've been thinking about this Police Report and the Beretta. I think a lot of us thought the Beretta was confiscated that night and the confiscation was on the LE Report. I know I did until I started looking at the LE Report line by line. Turns out the Beretta isn't on the Report after all. But there were quite a few posts saying that it was.
I wonder how many other things have become "Urban Legends" as this case goes on and on with so little solid information released. I wonder how much hearsay, we now use as if it were fact. That's why I think it's important to challenge our fellow posters to identify the source of their comments - whether that source is a published one, a rumor, or their own good idea and/or opinon. And I think it's important to be sure that source is included when an idea is passed along. You know - something like "I agree with so and so's opinion that...." I'm not sure I've done that consistently - but I'm going to try to do so in the future. JMO and not directed at anyone.
The Beretta IS mentioned in the police report!! Let me quote from the report narrative which would be in the 2nd paragraph and the 4th sentence under Additional Information:
"Ronald referred to a 9MM Beretta which he owned inside of his residence and said that if Law Enforcement found whoever had his child, he would shoot them through the back window of the patrol car."
