God in Heaven, how soon we forget our history!
Didn't someone named Richard Jewel try to do just that?

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...

He did the exact opposite of that.

Richard Jewel hid in his house under his Momma's kitchen table like Bernie Shaw.
I wrote about it, and I was telling the truth at the time.
I said, if I was Jewel, I'd step outside and say, "Get to know me. Let's play poker. Have a beer with me.
Let's take in a Braves game. Come sit on my damn couch.  Ask me whatever questions you want."
But noooooooooooooo.   Jewel hid, just like gary Condit, and that made him look guilty.

You can say it wasn't fair.
You can say Jewel wasn't a media figure.
You can say a hundred things but when he tried to hide, he looked guilty.

>"THAT'S how an innocent man talks."

In all of my experience, and research into criminal law, I can tell you that there is no particular way
that an innocent man talks.  That might be how you'd handle it, but I'm sure Richard would warn you to duck after you said it.

You might have half a point there.
MY point is when you say,  "Get to know me. Let's play poker.
Let's take in a Braves game. Come sit on my damn couch.  Ask me 1,000 questions."
That's a man daring the press to catch him in a lie.

If Jewel had done that, some half-honest reporters might write,
"He doesn't seem like the killer type - I wonder how strong the evidence is against him?"
