Finnegan Lee Elder's lawyer, Renato Borzone, said in a statement that the defence still needs more time to get a full picture of what happened. He added that he is still working to clarify "key passages" in the investigation.
"Finn is trying to stay hopeful but has suffered from severe depression since the incident," the family said. "While in prison he has seen the way the media has portrayed him and the circumstances of the case and it has been difficult to hear the facts unfairly misrepresented." Prosecutors contend that Elder stabbed Cerciello Rega while Natale-Hjorth scuffled with the officer's partner during a rendezvous organized by the teens to obtain money and cocaine in exchange for a backpack they had snatched.
Well thankfully gangs and drug cartels regulate and distribute drugs. 'Cerciello Rega was stabbed to death while he was investigating with a colleague an alleged drug deal gone wrong.' Why do police want gangs and cartels to regulate and distribute drugs? Are cops ignorant?
