      Did he really do it tho? Feel like the cops were to willing to jump on the band wagon.

      are you kidding? he told the cops 18 years ago (on tape) that he did it, and later he wrote a book about how he did it. to me it doesn’t really feel like the cops and prosecutors were particularly over-eager to do anything here.

        As I understand it it was a proffer, meaning they granted him immunity for anything he said during the interrogation.

        Much later he said some of that shit in interviews and books, which he certainly did not enjoy legal immunity, so they could now go after him.

        Basically he self snitched.

          So because it was in a book they could finally go after him? Is the book what triggered the court proceedings?
