Paradis said he does not know whether the rifle fired, but he thinks it might have discharged accidentally when the deputy grabbed Yantis and spun him, or when one of the deputy’s bullets pierced Yantis’ hand holding the rifle, hitting the gun and damaging it.
This makes it seem as the deputies did???
Paradis sounds like a star witness....
How is Paradis' credibility in question, other than saying something you evidently don't like? Do you know something the rest of us don't or is it wild speculation like not only accusing Yantis of being drunk but his wife as well?
So Paradis' word is golden, but Yantis' neighbors account of his bad temper is speculation. Got it.
To clarify, I never said that. Yantis' neighbor's account is speculation elicited by somebody, either police or press no doubt. The other is eyewitness testimony, ostensibly sworn to. One is an opinion, the other is an account.
