    I can see why the sheriff doesn’t want to rush to call it lynching when there isn’t evidence of lynching specifically. BUT it appears to be a horrific and violent crime that surely should be their first priority. Sheriff’s statement is downplaying the whole thing.

        Well, they themselves are bringing in the SBI and Attorney General’s Office. If they’re lying, they just fucked themselves hard for no reason.

        It seems they’re actually being extremely thorough.

      Well yes if they had said “by technicality this is not a lynching, but it certainly smells like one” I don’t think we’d be thinking the sheriff is fucked in the head. But he didn’t say that
