ZAIN DEAN'S STATEMENTS CROSS EXAMINED

[VAIN DEAN]

After a day had elapsed, I visited the repair store and learned that second parts would not be easy to find (radiator) and chassis straightening...

[NEL]

More lies. Everything involving the hasty sale of your car happened before midday on the same morning as the accident.

[VAIN DEAN]

Officer F asked me if I would be able to identify the driver. I said I wouldn’t, since I didn’t have a clear recollection of who the driver was (I had been drunk and sleepy) so I didn’t want to implicate anyone innocent

[NEL]

So how could you, when you got back to the UK, suddenly claim it was the KTV driver on the tape at 5:30 am?

[VAIN DEAN]

At the police station, I wasn’t asked to give a statement, but now the driver was. After an hour or so, the officer who was questioning the driver came out and said “good news for you” as he patted me on the back, “the drivers confessed to what happened, what he’s stated supports what you’ve said” [paraphrased from Mandarin Chinese].

[NEL]

Have you considered the possibility that they were using a questioning technique known as "good cop, bad cop" on you?

Just as likely, this whole chain of events never took place.

The ktv driver never confessed and that is fact.

[VAIN DEAN]

Officer F, told me the owner of the KTV had arrived and was talking to the head of the police station in private upstairs.

[NEL]

By this time, the ktv had brought the CCTV video showing the ktv driver was back at the ktv before the known time of the accident. The CCTV from your apartment building showing you driving home had not arrived yet. At this point, you had claimed only ktv driver drove you home and you hadn't told police you had driven that night.

[VAIN DEAN]

Suddenly officer X appeared and was now very aggressive. “Why don’t you admit you drove the car? We know it was you who drove the car, why don’t you confess now?” I was dumbfounded.

[NEL]

Yes, you were dumbfounded because you didn't know cops had you on video driving home.
