WOW what a pile of state propaganda this clip is.
I don't buy it... Cover up. There's video of her hitting another car.
Whoever did it needs to be held accountable and that's just the bottom line
So Tired Of Conspiracy theories! She hit him she was very drunk and angry. She wouldn't let him go He wanted out of that Toxic relationship. See you all at trial
🙄🥺💔😢 either way that man shouldn't have been killed
Bogus
Apparent hair wasn’t even a hair. Maybe you should mention the Touhey process or the fact that the FBI says “ in good conscience, we cannot allow this case to go to trial.”
I cannot wait for this case. The officer wanted to break up with her before this even occurred. There were issues and she left him for dead at the location. She was drinking herself and how could she even remember things and accuse that a different event occurred? She waited hours to go back and then had also asked if she hit him. Time will tell. We can all like someone personally, but evidence, witnesses, etc will all come out in trial.
NBC just won the Worst investigative journalism award! NBC literally just read what the prosecutor said😂 terrible
Come on 10!!!!!!!!
That’s all lies,
You have embarrassed yourself right now! You all know the Investigators of the case are Under investigation!! The investigators are being investigated!!! You and I would have said worse I'm sure if our guy was drinking and hanging with trash. I'm disappointed with you three.
GOOD
Bullshit. What about the dog bights on him! Bullshit!
