I honestly think that in order for most people to leave it alone, there would have to be pretty convincing evidence at this point. But we have seen, like in the Duke lacrosse case, the ability for even extreme people to step back and say we were wrong or at least let a case go when they realize that.
My confusion about some people's position here is that it flies in the face of what the evidence suggests so far. Granted we may have not seen all the evidence, but I just don't understand where some of the conviction of some people come from.
Like I said before, if there was anything about the 911 call that remotely suggested concern about his safety and not aggression on his part, I could understand. If he confirmed he would be waiting where he told them his truck was as opposed to not knowing where he would be when the police arrived, I would understand. If the confrontation took place at his vehicle, I would understand. If he was battered and bloody when he was taken to jail, I might still say that he unnecessarily pursued and created a confrontation when there didn't need to be one, but I might understand some people's position better. If he was taken to the hospital to be treated for a life and death struggle with a 17 year old, I might understand. As it stands, I don't know where the conviction of some people come from.
