The "knife" was a Spode Christmas cheese-and-crackers knork. The arrest affidavit mentioned no bullet casing. There is no bullet casing in evidence. If Dave Harris had a contact who told him they found a bullet casing, police hid it. There is no bullet casing in the arrest affidavit or anywhere else. Dave Harris and the Orlando Sentinel added also: "Employees said Mulrenin left with more than $2,500 in his pocket. The money was not in his apartment when police searched it, they said." In fact, police found $13k in Mulrenin's apartment, including separate stacks that appear to be around $2500. What the arrest affidavit actually said was "No money clip or wallet was located at his home." You don’t have to be very smart to consider that Mulrenin was at the hospital when his home was searched. There is reason (other than the obvious) to suspect Dave Harris did not get this nonsense from the arrest affidavit as claimed. The link to the story is: https://www.orlandosentinel.com/news/breaking-news/os-jimmy-mulrenin-death-details-20l6122 8- story.html Notice he calls Mulrenin "Jimmy." Nobody at the strip clubs called him that, and it is not in any police report or in the story itself. Jimmy is what his family in Michigan calls him. Except they spell it "Jimmie" so Harris seems to have heard it out loud. Like Mulrenin, Harris likes to advertise he is from Michigan in his bio: "David Harris helps oversee the Orlando Sentinel newsroom at night as a content editor. He hails from Flint, Mich., is a graduate of Central Michigan University, and a huge Michigan football fan who is happy he doesn't have to shovel snow anymore." Harris is a man of a similar age to Mulrenin. And he is a night-owl like Mulrenin. So it is reasonable to speculate that Harris had an inside contact who fed him this garbage. I have additional information to support that Dave Harris has an arms-length but biased point of contact with Mulrenin's family. Like Harris’ mother knows Mulrenin's sister, or something. The story written by Harris deviates from the truth, and from the arrest affidavit, likely as a result of 1) personal bias, and 2) a desire to print a sensationalist story that is neater than the truth, and has a man tied up in duct tape. Mulrenin took $2500 home, but it wasn’t in his home! Reality is there is currently no public evidence Mulrenin took $2500 home that night, no known witness. But $2500 was found in his home nonetheless, the opposite of what Dave Harris and the Orlando Sentinel printed. This decision by the Orlando Sentinel to print untruths was a childish one. It was made in pursuit of whatever incentives they had of personal bias or sensationalism, without consideration of the repercussions for promoting falsehoods with a loud megaphone. The untruths printed by the Sentinel became the main source of supposed facts for actual participants in the case, from witnesses to family members. Most people, including most police and even state employees at the prosecutor's office, did not receive or examine actual evidence. They just read what was in the Orlando Sentinel, not knowing Dave Harris was a shameless embellisher with his own agenda. The Orlando Sentinel terrorized Mulrenin's family and coworkers unnecessarily, with a false story of him being tied in duct tape. This put pressure on the prosecutor to pull out of a plea deal which Love agreed to, because Mulrenin's misinformed family did not think it was just. That led to Love’s phone calls about the plea deal being included in the trial, when Judge Nelson never ruled they could be used. This could very well result in Love getting a new trial at some point, at unnecessary expense to the taxpayer and Mulrenin's family. My personal opinion of what Love's sentence should be is irrelevant. Love’s current sentence is not just, when compared to the truth and sentences in other cases. And for that reason there is going to be litigation for years. Unnecessarily, when there could have been a fair plea deal. But there wasn’t, because misinformation was injected III - 73
