The New Yorker doesn’t link to a citation. Rolling Stones does. Which links to a statement by lead prosecutor, Ortiz. Heymann was the assistant prosecutor.

My point was how do we know this is an “analysis”. Based off Rolling Stones, this is just the prosecutors words.

How about semi-straight from the horse's mouth? Was his defense attorney working with prosecutors to minimize the threats? Is the Boston Globe in on it? (Conspiracy theories are so much fun! Ever read Foucault's Pendulum?)

What is the relevance of conspiracy theories here? Boston Globe in on what? Not sure what minimizing the threat means.

Boston Globe link wasn’t here before. Now it is. It changes things. Seems straight forward to me.
