You are correct on all points....but, and I REALLY NEED TO BE CAREFUL HERE.
There are people who have political interests that have been distorting facts and presenting them distorted. Now, that particular network is failing with the numbers so perhaps folks are catching up with them, but at present they do not tell the entire truth and have a job which has absolutely nothing to do with news.
This case has been distorted from the time it was wrenched from the police and handed to politicians. The police, albeit slowly but surely, had it right all the time.
