Interestingly, every single inconsistency is both extremely specific - not something that would be mis-remembered - and relates to George trying to say that he did absolutely nothing to escalate the situation while Martin was the aggressor.

Martin came back and circled my truck. I wasn’t following Martin; I got out of the truck to look for a street sign. I wasn’t trying to find Martin, who had already skipped away. I was headed right back to his truck after hanging up from the NEN call, there was no 2-minute gap. I stepped back away from Martin when approached me from behind; I was reaching for my phone to dial 911, because I’m sure the possibly drugged, possibly armed, up-to-no-good asshole punk would just wait quietly while I dialed 911 right in front of him.

Sorry, I don’t buy it.
