Would It Be The Job of the Police Or the Grand Jury to Discredit Schwartz's Testimony

[lynn cates]

new information

Hello Roy.

"what would Schwartz have said at the inquest or what evidence would he have given that he didn't already share with the police?"

1. He might have decided whether the other lad had a pipe or knife.

2. He might have made up his mind whether the other lad was chasing him, or, alike, running FROM BSM.

3. He might have decided at whom "Lipski" was shouted.

4. He might have been able to recall the decibel level of a non-loud scream.

Cheers.

Lynn,

Yes of course you are correct. The point being he didn't testify so we can only assume that none of the questions you asked were even relevant.

assuming

Hello Roy. Thanks.

Quite. He never made it there.

So we may assume . . nothing, perhaps? Always a good policy.

Cheers.

speculation

Hello Cris. Thanks.

Agreed. And that seems to be what Stewart has been saying.

Schwartz was not there. So perhaps speculation is idle?

Hi Lynn

Agreed Schwartz wasn't a witness at the Inquest...or are you suggesting he wasn't at Berner Street? I'm sorry but nobody at this stage can prove that conclusively...we can all surmise, but the truth is, at present there is no hard evidence and we really don't know...

All the best

Dave,

I think Lynn said it earlier, it isn't necessarily that Schwartz is lying but for some reason his story was found not to be worthy. Whether it was location, time, or a translation problem, etc, I don't think Lynn has suggested anything specific.

Cheers

brackets

Hello Dave. Thanks.

"are you suggesting he wasn't at Berner Street?"

That was suggested long ago. As you say, we don't know. So, why not place him in brackets?

Cheers.

deflection

Hello Roy. Thanks.

My suggestion is basically Tom Wescott's. IS may be trying to deflect blame from the club with his story.

Cheers.

Quite happy to do that as I've previously indicated...just not happy to dismiss him without proof!

I believe it was...though I believe Tom may have now backed off this through a lack of evidence

All the best

accept/dismiss

Hello Dave. Thanks.

"not happy to dismiss him without proof!"

Or accept him?

more information

Hello (again) Dave. Thanks.

"Tom may have now backed off this through a lack of evidence"

Well, I don't think that it was ever more than a suggestion. But, Tom is wise in that he can argue either way.

From my perspective, IF Schwarz is telling the truth, then look no further--BSM killed Liz.

But, given the internal inconsistencies with the story and the out of place racial slur, I lean 60-40 against.

Perhaps some day we'll have more information?

Cheers.

Schwartz

Hi Lynn

Swanson accepted him
Anderson (at least at first) accepted him
Warren accepted him

Until I'm shown something concrete that proves conclusively otherwise who am I to differ?

All the best
