Keep in mind that only two or three of the actual stories on Gene have come from reporters doing first-hand reporting. In the past year, some news reporters have been quick to jump to conclusions -- filling in a vacuum with their own speculations regarding some of the details -- without making clear that they were indeed, speculations.

So, yes, I would agree with you. The story, as it has been largely carried and conveyed, likely has changed somewhat as a result of the communication process. The facts, however, I suspect, have never changed.

Where is leading to? I dunno. I've had a few brief communications with this reporter ( Izaskun Larraneta) today. But I would pay more respect to stories such as this one - from a local print reporter who is there on the scene rather than any story on a TV-news website or AP syndicated story.

The news about the possible accomplice was not news to me, AFAIK, that has been a consideration all along.

Am I mistaken? The original story had Eugene being shot to death by one man, now they say he was beaten to death and possibly by two people. Will the story change again and how is what I am leading up to?
