It's a fine article I guess. It doesn't prove anything one way or the other. It's literally just one of the friends under suspicion saying he didn't do anything.

I'm not saying he did but that article isn't really any more helpful than any other article. Hell, it mentioned a fight. Details about that might have been interesting, but they dedicated like 2 sentences to it and then spent the rest of the time bloviating.

Hopefully they do get to the bottom of things. I will say I understand the Crump suspicion. I actually think he's done good work, but now he's kinda become the go-to guy for racial issues. The fear in cases like this is always that the person will start pushing false narratives to keep themselves relevant. Sorta how the attorney with the Jay-Z accuser did.

Like I said, I'm not subscribing to the "He's dead because he had white friends" narrative without more prove. But one other black or mixed dude being in the story doesn't suddenly eliminate the racial dynamic here.

That said, I'm in the camp that thinks people should wait before jumping to conclusions on either side.
