但后来的调查结果是警卫无责,法院认为没有足够证据charge anyone in connection with the death。当然激起了民愤,于是才有了一年后的重审,按理说这次抖出的许多料都于警方不利,但今天此案出现了一封mysterious letter,内容诡秘,调查组还在wrestled with whether to disclose it。辩方律师顺势要求审理暂停,称要搜集更多材料以应对这一突发事件。4 N6 G) E! j/ t4 i; n

Q( q据说同一个电梯曾在事发两年前有过一摸一样的毛病,very little force 就会把电梯门打开。所以才会有了后来的故事,押解路上,Kyle was making verbal threats and trying to spit at the guards,警卫只好把Kyle顶着电梯门,opening them without the car there。事情的经过很简单,但当初法院的裁定是警员used a "modest" amount of restraint and followed normal procedures,死了算是白死。谁是谁非,现在还不好下结论。$ h7 v+ P8 b* t+ M
