In this episode, Stan and Mike talk with Bob O'Connor about what can happen when you are involved in a lethal self defense incident when it comes to media coverage.
Bob was the supervising investigator in the George Zimmerman case, which was a case that experienced a plethora of misinformation in the media surrounding the case and investigation. Bob dealt directly with various media outlets during that time, and experienced what we have always believed and stated, which is, misinformation can quickly become fact in the public domain if it is not immediately addressed. In the Zimmerman case, there was so much misinformation that was being disseminated through various channels, that the investigation couldn't keep up to even attempt to address much of it. Furthermore, when certain aspects were addressed, the media itself chose to put aside facts and continue reporting misinformation.
Bob eventually resigned the Sanford Police Department over the handling of the case and went on to become a special investigator with the state attorney's office. He recently retired and is now an author for CCW Safe, and has written an outstanding series of articles on The Principles of Concealed Carry Commitment, including Mindset, Education, Training, and Judgement.
