"He’s a doctor. He knew exactly what that rock would do." @DonnaRotunno and @AnneMBremner dismantle the "self-defense" claim in the Dr. Konig trial. When you compare a small scratch on his face to her devastating injuries, the "scuffle" story falls apart. youtube.com/watch?v=J2xbIv…

Why is the state’s attorney withholding the video? @DonnaRotunno questions the lack of evidence as a Boston police officer faces manslaughter charges just eight days after a violent carjacking. If the case is clear-cut, why hide the footage?
