>he admits the night ended in a stabbing spree in which he was involved, violence which left two people dead and six injured.
>he has since accepted in an interview with US broadcaster CBS that he stabbed someone who survived
>”I didn't murder anybody."
I wonder if there’s some very simple investigative work that took place, but the article doesn’t mention it, as the author attempts to portray the convicted murder in a way that would foster empathy.
For instance, did the wounds suggest more than one knife was used? If not, that would mean they were handing the knife off to each other. It would be pretty unrealistic that a group of inebriated youngsters could rack up 8 stabbings and 2 murders with 1 knife before the streets were completely cleared and the police were on the scene.
As he’s been convicted, he’s a murderer unless proven otherwise, and deserves his original sentence.
