Have you actually seen Odin's body? Obviously not, but your are still listening to the media reports that claim he is dead. The reality is there is a hierarchy of information one is willing to believe. First hand observation is best (video), confirmation from a first hand source would be next, then expert testimony, etc, etc. Last on the list is the unnamed source. That information is a crap shoot at best.
I think you are making a false argument above as I think there have generally been two camps in this thread. Those that believed the media and still think his arrest is imminent and those that think the media is incompetent especially in the case of unnamed sources. Your train of thought above seems to show that you are finally coming around on the notion that the media is unreliable but you still seem to clutch the preconceived notion that AH 'clearly did something wrong' as some have put it.
I think you are seeing Joker and others are becoming frustrated as they are continuously having to shoot down posts trying to nuance the definition of warrant so as to make their favorite media source "right". It has nothing to do with pom pom waving or anything silly like that. I think you will find most of us ready to write off AH if he is found guilty in this case. It is simply a reluctance to rush to judgment, especially a judgement based on unnamed sources.
yes a agree, a name source is better than an unnamed source . . . but my only point was the formal does not make the latter incorrect . . . no one knows what is going on at the court . . . and given the recent impound, it is perfectly conceivable that clerks were just doing a BB presser and trying to deflate the leak from Friday and brings things back to normal . . . or maybe the leak was a phony who knows . . .
