What about the?  I hear what you say on that point, and also, they did describe to us the circumstances  in which the statements were taken.  They were taken more than one at a time, in the prison, there was a bit of a rush going on, etc.  But what about the omission of certain facts that one would think should not have been omitted.  Like I had a firearm.  Not only did I have a firearm I shot it.  Not only did I shoot with my firearm, I pointed it at the opposing side and shot at them.  None of that comes in.  Why would that sort of thing be left out by accident?  I mean even if you were in a hurry and writing, it would be quite an important feature of the narration, unless, particularly to get amnesty with regard to making a full disclosure.  Unless the view of the person giving the version is that, I'll play my role down as little as, as much as possible.  I don't want to stick my neck out and admit in public that I shot, at that stage.  Then you change your mind later when it gets closer to the day and they have further consultations, etc.
