Innocent until proven guilty.
That is the law!
But, but, but . . . ALL the information you have about this case is Taiwan media speculation. ALL of it.

Not true! We also have Flobulation.
Uhh, Toast?
What are you going to say if it becomes apparent that he didn’t do it???
EDIT: Let me just say this, if you don’t know how childishly easy it is to change the timecode on a digital surveillance file, you should check into it…
That’s simple. The repair bill on a severely damaged W124 would be about equal to the resale value. ocar.com.tw/index/searchresu … dYear/1995

Or more.

If I read it correctly, David killed himself in the US in June.[/quote]

Yeah but why try to get rid of it so quickly, like early the next day. Also, how did the car get back in his possession if he didn’t drive it?
It’s circumstantial but it just doesn’t look good. Plus having tickets to Kinmen… well…we all know Kinmen is a few kms from mainland with illegal fishing boats plying the waters…
However, everybody has the right to presumed innocence and their day in court.
…the butler did it…
How about a little disclosure in this thread. Who knows him and in what capacity? I think it would go a long way in explaining some peoples’ attempts to circle the wagons. People here must think I’m truly stupid to bite on all the red herrings and attempts to steer opinion in favor of their (obvious) friend. Posts in this thread have been deliberate attempts to muddy the waters and confuse the issue.
There is more than enough information and footage available for reasonable people to know what really happened. Those being deliberately obtuse have a vested interest in behaving this way. I’m shocked by the sheer lack of ethics.
And if-- as one mentioned-- we are so concerned about the “deceased” (as opposed to just sticking up for ex-housemates), let’s start a collection for his family.
Disclosure for Toasty: Never heard of the guy before, and I have my own suspicions of what most likely transpired and my own strong feelings on what the outcome should be if I’m right, but I don’t personally care to speculate out the wazoo publicly about it and prefer instead to wait to see what further evidence develops and how the legal process handles the case.
Utter and complete bullshit. The ONLY information you have – the ONLY information – is what you’ve gleaned from the media and the police.
I’m glad you have such unwavering faith in the media and the justiciary here. 
Oh, yeah. Disclosure. I bought a haggis off him once. If he’s guilty I hope he gets what he deserves. As it is, I have only the rantings of the flobbers and the shite spewed by the media, which means I have NO IDEA what happened. Like the rest of you.

How about you disclose how many beers you’ve had since lunchtime???

Well Mr Dean has made his own media statements so the rest is up to the prosecution to prove their case to the judge. Perhaps there is evidence not yet released to the public or media by the police or the prosecutor or Mr Dean.
If Mr Dean was driven home by the valet is there any video footage of that from his building security cameras?
GOLLY! No, seriously! I mean "GREAT GEEWHILLIKINS!! Ya THINK??? The… the… the… TAIWANESE MEDIA don’t have the full story? Is THAT what you’re saying???
Jesus H. Christ!
As Omni said, this guy and his actions deserve strong condemnation. I don’t care what the F.com Taibei posse think of me. I will say what I believe. I won’t be part of the collusion going on here.

How the FUCK do you know? You don’t have a fucking SCOOBY what he did or didn’t do. ALL you know is what you’ve read in the paper and seen on TV.

I do. I totally saw it on tv.
I know him - we used to live together about 15 years ago. Haven’t seen him in years, except for Facebook, but I’d consider him a friend. He’s sent me a seventeen page e-mail with his version of events, but I’m not at liberty to disclose the contents.
I was not there that night, and I can’t vouch for his absolute innocence. I can tell you absolutely, 100% for sure that the case is not as cut-and-dried as it is being presented to you by the local media. I’m not saying you should believe in his innocence - I’m saying it’s foolish to believe the local media, because guilty or innocent, it looks to me like he’s being railroaded.
And if that’s true – IF – it’ll make him the fourth person I’ve known here who has had the same thing happen to him at the hands of the justiciary and the media in which Toasty holds such great store.
