There is a terrible mistake in this report. While the video evidence appears that this is the case, the report gives legitimacy to the PA coroner, as if any statement coming from PA anybody is reliable. So far, none here have encountered a Muslim who values honesty. If a Muslim says something that is true, it is only for personal gain. And if there is perceived gain from falsehood, Islam actually cherishes that. I have no care in the world what the PA coroner says, and neither should the media.
