Heading: Recantation and reaffirmation

Text: The record does not contain any evidence that Bacod ever recanted or reaffirmed her statement to Detective Huelskoetter. The dissent charges that Bacod “changed her account in real time in response to what she learned” in the interview with Detective Huelskoetter.75 But Bacod initially indicated, without any prompting from the detective, that Moore, Richards, Ketzler, and Porterfield wanted to“beat . . . up” Sanders. And while Bacod later added that the four of them were going to “try to talk . . . it out,” the dissent omits Bacod’s very next statement to the detective: “But . . . obviously. . . they’re young, so . . . there’s gonna be violence in it.” And for most of the time between Bacod’s statement and her death Sanders was not aware that she had called and spoken with Detective Huelskoetter.
