(37,246 posts)Memories are pretty bad, and a lot of people believe the first reports or the reports of those they want to believe or which fit their prior beliefs.
"The dispatch recordings and Wilsons radio transmissions establish that Wilson was aware of the theft and had a description of the suspects as he encountered Brown and Witness 101."

It's on page 6 of the document, and the rest of the page is pertinent to this thread.
At the time the police chief spoke, I'm guessing he said something like "there's no evidence Warren" knew of the description. Which can only mean, when somebody says, "there's no evidence," something like "I'm not aware of any evidence...".
How much of Dorian's account is true is an open question. His account left out what a lot of forensic evidence says almost certainly happened. Oddly, what he left out would make the officer's actions more understandable, and just leaves stuff that makes his friend innocent and the "enemy" guilty. After the 5th or 6th retelling, his memories were probably sufficiently smudged that he may have even stopped remembering what was discordant.
