No telling how damaging the audio recordings really are until trial. As things stand now, you've got the prosecutor relaying what he "heard" to the judge & then the newspaper reporting on it. Hardly a first-hand account. But yeah, it's going to be an uphill battle for the guy since his actions were so odd.

It'll be interesting to see how any toxicology reports and/or mental evaluations change the tone of the investigation. Until factually stated otherwise, I'll still maintain that there may have not been a full deck in the whole cast of characters when this when down.

The more information that comes out about this, the more I think that we really don't know. If the reports are acurate to the events, Smith may not be 100% mentally capeable and Keifer's actions absolutely defy logic. Who in their right mind would shoot two burglars and then not call the police because he didn't want to bother them on Thanksgiving?? And what burglar in their right mind would continue to walk through a house AFTER several shots have been fired?? And last, who would lose $10k worth of stuff in a previous burglary & not report that??

Either the on-scene reporters need to go all the way back to jr high journalism classes or nobody's elevator is leaving the ground floor, much less going to the top!
