23. THE LYING SENTINEL - 2016 to present Mulrenin was not tied up. The arrest affidavit stopped short of saying he was tied up. The first person to make this invention, the originator of this false propaganda which unnecessarily terrorized both Mulrenin's family and his coworkers with false information, was none other than the Orlando Sentinel, in a story embellished with lies by an apparently biased so-called reporter, Dave Harris. On December 28, 2016 Dave Harris published a story which he claimed in 2020 was based on the arrest affidavit. But it contained six statements that were false and were not in the arrest affidavit. The headline read: "Strip-club manager tied up, robbed, shot before fatal fall" As you will see, the cable ties and duct tape found in Mulrenin's apartment were used to bind his wound. And that is what it looked like, which is why the arrest affidavit says only " there is probably cause to believe zip ties and duct tape was used on Mulrenin". Dave Harris and the Orlando Sentinel went on to say: "Jackson, 21, was seen running away from Mulrenin's apartment and into her car one minute after a 911 call came" As you know, Jackson ran out of the apartment more than one minute before the 911 call came in to police (and at latest around the same time 911 was dialed, if you assume 911 was dialed at the time the phone identified its location at 6:35, whether or not Mulrenin had gone over at that point or was just threatening to). The arrest affidavit says Jackson ran out six minutes after the 911 call. One minute after is the Sentinel’s own unique narrative, concocted with their own incentive to tell a neat and sensational story. Unless of course Dave Harris had an inside contact to get this information, which is closer to the truth than the arrest affidavit. And he may, which I will get to. Dave Harris and the Orlando Sentinel added: "police originally thought Mulrenin, 52, had jumped in a suicide attempt. But the case took a twist when police found he had a bullet wound to the leg." They found a gunshot wound at Mulrenin's autopsy on the 16th or 17th. But this was not in the arrest affidavit, which was written on the 16th. The arrest affidavit, which Dave Harris claims his story was based on, said "Mulrenin suffered multiple injuries from the fall and a deep wound in the back of his left thigh which appears to be a very deep stab wound or gunshot wound." This was known at the beginning, as soon as Mulrenin arrived at the hospital. Remember, the hospital threw away Mulrenin's clothes and sent him to organ donation, because nobody heard a gunshot. It was not a suspected homicide. The medical examiner could possibly have said something about a gunshot by the time Sprague wrote his affidavit on the 16th. But remember, the trajectory of the gunshot did not fit Smolarek’s fake bullet hole and the "shot while fleeing" narrative. So at the time Sprague wrote the arrest affidavit, he was not willing to commit to the story of Mulrenin being shot. He was contemplating a "shot at and missed while fleeing" narrative. Dave Harris and the Orlando Sentinel added: "there was a blood trail from the living room to the balcony" The arrest affidavit says "blood was located on the carpet, on the right portion of the couch recliner, closest to the door". It is referring to the front door, not the balcony door. There was no blood trail anywhere and the arrest affidavit does not say there was. Dave Harris and the Orlando Sentinel included: "A bullet casing and a knife also were found." III - 72
