In reply to the discussion: Dorner's con game worked [View all]robinlynne
(15,481 posts)75. You missed the five years in Court. And the other 2 officers who already came forward
confirming that what Dormer wrote tends to happen in the LAPD. even though they want no association whatsoever with DOrner.
He is a murderer. fact. What he wrote is likely true, and the story he told is likely true. One does not preclude the other.
You don't have to like him to admit what happened. it is not hero vs villain as some here would have it.
Once he killed the young couple, he was a murderer. there is no doubt about that.
But if things are happening that drive people over the edge, and they continue to happen, what do you think the result will be?
