and made sure they included his arrest record, yeah no bias there. Does it really have any bearing on this incident that the deceased has prior convictions for domestic violence, disturbing the family peace, sale and possession of cocaine, sale of counterfeit substances, etc. and was currently out on bond for an arrest for cocaine possession?

Plus they are already framing the family member witnesses as unreliable, making sure to point out that they claim he was strangled with a flashlight and now the police chief and the family's own lawyer are stating that the flashlight story is untrue.

They don't mention any video unfortunately.
