Snipped down just to the parts relevant to my response, and put in numbers just to keep the points clear. .
(1) Yeah, I understand that. It's why in the post you're quoting from I'm making minimal hay of the charge coming 14 months after the alleged incident. Rather, it's everything else about the HPDs actions and inactions within that timeline that raises a ton of red flags for me.
(2) We disagree on this. It's entirely within the realm of possibility that he both injured her and that the charge is being brought on him for it with extra-legal motives. I wouldn't just raise that possibility out of thin air either -- HPD's own actions and inactions are quite frankly bizarre enough to me that they have induced that suspicion.
