It appeared as though the Miami-Dade police

ESPN decided that the only way to try to get an unredacted copy of the files was to sue Miami-Dade police.

So we're here on the case of

ESPN Inc.

v. Miami-Dade County et al., case number 2020-5029-C801.

Eventually, we were ruled against.

But while on the stand, we were able to get several officers of Miami-Dade to admit.

And that revelation confirmed what was previously released to us by accident in the heavily redacted police reports.

In some of the initial batches of records that they gave us, they included dossiers on a lot of the people they looked into.

The only cover page that had the word suspect on it was the cover page for Rashawn Jones.

We knew that was important.

They forgot to redact it.

That was the first indication that they were not being truthful with us.

Do you have a specific suspect in mind?

No.

The police are not required to be truthful to reporters.

However, in denying they ever had a main suspect, they made us even more skeptical of their information.

They had considered Rashawn Jones a suspect from the beginning.

In November of 2020, our investigative team decided that it was ready to publish something with everything that we had learned.

That photo that was featured so prominently of all the players on the field kneeling by that banner of Brian's face will look very different based on the players who are pictured in it.
