14. And that's supposedly the big issue

Al Sharpton today had on his show the father of the slain man and his attorney who supposedly looked at the surveillance tape which allegedly showed nothing even remotely threatening. And Sharpton then had two attorneys on his show, one a former prosecutor who couldn't believe the DA would release the 911 tape that shows the victim in a bad light, with statements such as the one you describe but who refused to release the surveillance tape that supposedly didn't show that scenario at all.

I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE TRUTH IS, BUT I THINK ALL REASONABLE PEOPLE SEEKING JUSTICE WILL CONDEMN THE SELECTIVE RELEASE OF EVIDENCE THAT CAN ONLY SERVE TO POISON THE ATMOSPHERE AND WRONGFULLY INFLUENCE THE POTENTIAL JURY POOL.

Either release it all or none at all.
