:seeya: I totally understand your points here ... but Dylan's version of events that was allegedly coerced from him is totally different than JA's story.
1st BBM:
Dylan was not there when Holly was shot at the river per Jason Autry's testimony at Zack's trial ... however, Dylan's "coerced version" of events places Holly at Zack's house, not SA's property and not the barn.
2nd BBM: Yes JA testified as to HIS version of what happened ... JA is not credible IMO, particularly since he stated that he was on drugs at the time.
3rd BBM: Even if JA could be impeached, he will not be impeached because the State bought and sold JA's "story" ... in other words, the State wanted a conviction -- it didn't matter who got convicted -- just get that conviction to make Holly's case go away. But in order to get that conviction, the State had to go with one of the A's who would not only cooperate for a deal, but sell a believable story to the jury for that conviction: (1) SA had committed "suicide"

so he's out ... (2) DA probably IMO would not have testified against his brother so he's out ... (3) ZA has maintained his "innocence" since his arrest, did not testify on his own behalf at the trial, and refused plea deals that were offered, so he's out ... (4) so that leaves JA.
Just because Jason said Zack said this or that, does not make it true ... and just because Jason said Zack shot Holly does not make it true also.
But IF you do believe what JA testified to at ZA's trial -- that it was
only ZA and him [JA] at the river when Holly was shot -- then Dylan and Shayne cannot state that ZA shot Holly at the river because Dylan and Shayne were NOT there per JA's testimony:
JA removed Dylan and Shayne from that part of the story.
I know I know ... Jason placed Dylan and Shayne at SA's property, and stated that both DA and SA participated in the rape ... but JA said he did NOT participate in the rape
What it boils down to is this: Dylan stated that ZA shot Holly, Shayne allegedly stated that ZA shot Holly, and then you have JA who testified that ZA shot Holly at the river because he was there -- he was the "lookout man" -- he heard the "boom boom boom" ...
So WHO told Dylan and Shayne that ZA shot Holly at the river ?
Remember: Jason removes Dylan and Shayne from the
river story where Jason stated he "heard" ZA shoot Holly but Dylan has a different story than JA :gaah:
JMO but I really hope Dylan has a trial ... I want to see DA's version of events -- whether I believe it or not.
All JMO and :moo:
