I wasn't arguing with you, just responding to your comment. If what Mastro claimed actually happened, I don't see any way a DA would have a problem proving that beyond a reasonable doubt. Bullet holes, shell casings, etc would be pretty easy to find.
I am with you that the truth is somewhere in the middle. Again, John Smith has been checked out for years now and has clearly lost all control. OSU needs to make changes sooner than later, IMO.
