A tape and two witnesses---"All we have?"
To be fair, maybe we should hold off cheering assault because of tribalism.
It's not like they were the only two people there. There were multiple members of the press. All of them, I'm sure, had cell phones. The moment Jacobs's ambush started, they should have known something newsworthy was happening.
Yet we only have one corroborating witness, who only gave her word, which suspiciously matches exactly what the victim's claiming (right down to the most sympathetic portrayal possible, no aggression or anything according to her). If no one else witnessed this happen, and it allegedly happened in this kind of setting where lots of others could see it, then what?
Audiotapes can easily be doctored and taken out of context.
This could easily be a hoax. I'm inclined to think that this was either exaggerated or never even happened.
