And, in your mind, to what end is he embellishing the story now?
I have no idea, but it just doesn't make sense that anyone would let a child be raped.
I think it makes more sense that he would fail to act due to one or a combination of any number of fears than it does that he would start lying about what he saw in front of a grand jury 7-8 years later.
If your son told you he saw someone raping a 10 year old boy, what would you do? I mean seriously, it just isn't credible that that many people, including McQueary's father, wouldn't have called the police if they had been told of a child rape.
It just doesn't make sense.
Perhaps McQueary is embellishing now because Victim #2's family spoke to him and need corroboration, maybe he felt bad about how he handled it so he is being over zealous now, maybe his memory is fuzzy but he heard of a rape and thinks that is how it happened, etc. Plenty of reasons people embellish stories after the fact.
