^^^ Yeah, I dunno if I would go THAT far. Not saying your wrong, at this point anything is possible, but I wouldn't make that leap personally.
In fact a few lawyers have stated today that the leap that he has any criminal participation in the murder, even if it's nothing direct, is too much of a leap yet as well, and that to me is a more likely possibility. To get where you are would be even one step after that. Again not poo-pooing you, it's an interesting slant, and the story does get bigger every day, but I personally don't see that connection, or the story going that deep yet.
Police did say that the investigation is still open. Right now it appears that the murder occurred because of competing gangs though. Possibly even because the people involved knew of the tape, and put a lot of value to it. But there is no evidence that the Mayor or people acting on his behalf had anything to do with the violence. There is evidence they tried to purchase it though as we all know, so like I said, I could see something there. I will state though, I'm by no means asserting that there is for sure.
I do think it's important though for Rob to address just how much involvement he does have with these gang members and organized crime in general. Of course, we're not going to get anything but denials, and there is really no reason for him to do anything but that, as he'd just get into more trouble by saying anything. But, I think it's a very important detail here, and the level of suspicion, while not enough to hold up in court, or convict the guy in the court of public opinion, should matter to every voter in that region. I wouldn't want an elected official acting on my behalf that has had that level of involvement with known gangs.
