His take on what Mr. Frosch had to say:
I regret that I wasn’t clearer on one point in my story on W.C. Frosch in Friday’s newspaper. And after reading his letter to you on the blog, I feel compelled to point out an apparent hole in his story.
Mr. Frosch insists 15-year-old Brandon Robinson was facing his front door when he shot the boy...
