This story bothers me.
He sounds like a responsible and professional journalist so he is unlikely to be a midnight graffiti artist, which is a juvenile act.
But I missed the part where he says ‘I didn’t do it’ and how police can go before the courts without evidence.
Surely they have something. Surely!
I would have liked that part to have been covered rather than leaving us to assume things.
