I find the persistent description of 'metallic object' weird - especially by Tostee. Makes sense for reporting the unknown, but when referring to a known item in your own house, wouldn't you just call a spade a spade?
Example:
"I was struck by an unknown metallic object when mugged walking home".
-v-
"Stop hitting your brother with that... metallic object". :thinking: Huh?
What is it about this 'metallic object' that might perhaps change people's perceptions if they knew what it was exactly. Would it undermine level of threat he supposedly felt? A metallic object could be a ruler for crying out loud - fear of being mocked by the brahs or the threat of it not presenting as too greater threat in eyes of average Joe? Was it an illegal item? All will be revealed I guess, but something is off.
Yes! Agree, well said. I'm still not sure Tostee ever said it, though, or if media reported it for other reasons (audio transcription). But IF Tostee said it, it's odd... it's another means of minimisation/avoidance/distraction IMO. To focus away from the object to the person allegedly weilding it.
