Thanks, Brad. I kind of thought that something like that was the
case but it seemed worth asking about. The "legal world" is
indeed an alien planet.

That's certainly more important than all the back and forth
about trying to get into the witnesses' heads to discern whether
they were lying in their later statements to acquire fame &
fortune!

Is it true that these written statements were taken at Halt's
request? If they did lie about the 2-mile lighthouse chase, it
would seem very strange if Halt or his subordinates were
responsible for coercing them into lying about it!
