Doesn't the director answer to the board? Who would Acheson report Morrison to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, given the new info we have learned in the last 24 hours on Fred Morrison, it certainly is at least plausable that the position of Dan A to apparently adopt a new policy to no longer speak to reporters ( on this issue anyway ) came from Fred Morrison and his DCI BOD out there in Indy.

Or is it mere words and lip service at the moment ? I suppose only time will tell. People are in CYA mode all trying to protect the only livelihood some have ever known. Call them drum corps bums or whatever, they’re not going to go away easily even after stepping in a pile of crap.

Just as it's true that affirming one's Fifth Amendment rights is not proof of one's guilt--and is the smart move (you should never, ever, ever talk to law enforcement if you are the subject of an investigation), because even innocent people can make mistakes and make themselves look guilty, likewise there are real risks in speaking to the press. That said, there are also real risks in not speaking to the press. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
