First off, does every court case's records show 100% the true story? If this were true, wouldn't every court case in history be completely incontrovertible? I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure that just because it's been through court does not mean that the whole story is evidenced in court record. But IANAL.
Second, the article goes into things that happened after the audio confrontation, and it's claimed that those are the things that led to his dismissal. I would want to know more about those things, and not just whatever evidence has been accepted by the court, or the interpretation told by this article.
- prepend 6y agoI don’t think anyone is claiming it’s 100% true or complete. But there is literally audio recording of the precipitating event that led to the court case. We probably will never know everything. But from what we know now, that’s helpful for forming opinions. The case wasn’t dismissed, and it was explicitly not dismissed and continues. 3/4 counts were dismissed. But one was not, thus its continuing. It’s inaccurate to say that the case was dismissed. And of course we want to know more, that’s a given. But in this situation we already know a lot.
