I agree with you and it will be interesting to see the other evidence she said she had, that she couldn't release yet. On the one hand, the van driver stopping several times to check on him, could show he was trying. On the other hand, he also knew he was in distress. Why he didn't call the 1st time is a mystery. Same for the female officer when he wasn't responding to her. Just walked away and didn't call ambulance. And (apparently) the driver didn't record one of the stops, they got it from street cameras at buildings along the route. That doesn't help his case at all. And the fact they put out false stories of a switch blade makes it SEEM they were covering up stuff too.
Also interesting, the other guy in the van and that story, which he denies. Not to mention when press wanted to speak with him, they gave no info (like name) and told them he was still in jail and couldn't release that info. He got wind of that and came out. Said when they took him in, they questioned him for about 2 hrs, he also had nothing on him and let him go. He had never been in jail and for 2 weeks they were saying he was.
If nothing else, they mishandled just about everything.
