Man admits to killing teen after political dispute in Foster Co., court docs allege

[W_HAMILTON]

37. The drunk killer claimed a defense that has not been borne out by any of the evidence.

You doubling down on your original terrible take -- which is still there, embarrassingly, for everyone to read -- even in the face of the new evidence is what is gross. We don't need you trying to explain away what we can go back and plainly read for ourselves.

And you dare to accuse someone else of "try(ing) to bend a kid's murder around a hoped for useful narrative" -- that is EXACTLY what your original post was about! Just like the right-wing nutjobs, you soooo wanted this story to be some example of hypocrisy on the left, some evidence of bias on the left, etc., and it appears it was nothing of the sort. The people that didn't jump to conclusions and waited for the evidence to come out appear to be the ones that were in the right here -- not you and the crazed Republicans that wanted to use this murder as "a hoped for useful narrative."

It wouldn't have been that hard to say, "you know, you're right, I shouldn't have jumped to conclusions, sorry about that" and learned your lesson.
