-He continues to maintain his innocence, saying he’s still fighting for the truth of what happened to emerge.
-“I want to have all of these things in my life, and I don’t want to have a felony on my record for something that I didn’t do. That’s what we’re fighting for. I know that on the surface it probably seems like why doesn’t he just serve the time, why doesn’t he just let this go. It would be easier if I had in fact done this to say that I did it. I wouldn’t have spent almost $3 million of my own money. I wouldn’t have had a trial.”
-Apparently, he is still the victim in all this. “I have a problem with letting them win on something they shouldn’t be able to. I’m a grown man and something happened. I can’t tell exactly what did happen, but I can tell you what did not happen. That’s what I have to sit on. No matter how much people are yelling in my face, saying ‘You’re a liar, you’re a liar.’ No, I’m not. No, I’m not. I don’t want them to believe that, but if that is what they believe, that’s on you.”
-He talks some vague gibberish. “So there were those moments where I was like, ‘Oh my goodness, my life is kind of—-oh, well, I didn’t do that.’ And they’re like, ‘But you did this.’ And I’m like ‘Ah, I did do that. I did buy that.’ And there are things like that that I’ve had to talk to my family about, that I’ve had to talk to friends about. I’m OK with accepting responsibility for things that I’ve actually done. I’m just not OK with accepting responsibility for things that I did not do.”
Do you believe him?
I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt

No. He’s only mad for getting caught

The only thing I’m convinced of is that he’s started to believe his own lies. Who is buying this?
