Officer Robert Rash of the Glynn County Police Department responded on December 20 to English’s concern, suggesting in the text exchange that Greg McMichael could help.
“Your neighbor at XX Satilla Drive is Greg McMichael. Greg is retired Law Enforcement and also a Retired Investigator from the DA’s office,” the text from Officer Rash read. “He said please call him day or night when you get action on your camera.”
The “I don’t even know the McMichaels” offensive by English and his attorney last week makes more sense now. They were trying to get out ahead of any future lawsuits. If English had at some point solicited the help of McMichaels and they committed an actionable tort, then he could be liable as well. He would almost certainly be sued. I suspect that McMichaels will/would testify that English did in fact reach out to him at some point.
The fact that English’s assertions from last week are probably false, will throw more doubt on the narrative and hurt the criminal and civil cases in the future.
