Wow I think I owe somebody ten dollars. Did not see this coming at all. Lends a touch of realism, though.
Makes no sense to go from spilling your guts and saying you did it and then claiming you are innocent. Must be by reason of insanity.
Define "it". What exactly are the charges and what exactly did he say he did? And how do we know what he said? An article in the NYT is not a reliable source.
That he could fire a single shot and have it go through a (metal) lock and then still be a bullet that could make the hole seen in the top of the computer seems dubious to me. I'm not an expert, but I would expect that firing a lead bullet through a metal lock would result in serious deformation of the bullet.
The story is severely fucked up.
This really could get interesting. Maybe he really was a free range idiot, used by the PTB (who changed the surveillance cam) as a patsy, and now he's trying to fight back. Hard to say.
Really the NYT is our only insight into Welch's motives, but I totally agree the article was utter crap. High production valued crap that was pushed vigorously by superiors at NYT, though.
Also, the computer picture just looks completely stupid. I have been around the Internets and seen some shoops before.
