were false in order to discredit and confuse .
He could have discounted some of the so called 60 or so eyewitnesses but he didn't
After one interview he said the person admitted he really didn't see the shooting
but he still included it in the 1000 pages
He really didn't see want to see Wilson charged , I'm not saying he wouldn't charge a dirty
cop if he found out but what I am saying is he thought and believed what Wilson told him.

It was the insistence that he was shot in the back, now backtracking that is the problem.
