🔍 Updated Summary (May 30 → June 3)

Credibility Changes (GUILT-X):

• 🔽 Vehicle evidence credibility now down to 24.5%

• 🔽 Investigator integrity credibility drops again (18.25%)

• 🔽 Scene authenticity weakened by Russell’s dog-bite analysis

• ⏺️ Timeline, McCabe, and altercation theory stable

Verdict Impact (VERDICT-X):

• 🟢 Acquittal now the most statistically supported path (56%)

• 🟡 Hung jury marginally less likely (37%)

• 🔴 Full conviction now extremely remote (7%)

🧠 Cassian Creed Final Interpretation:

“As of June 3, the prosecution is not just losing narrative ground—it’s structurally collapsing. With key witnesses either discredited or absent, the mathematical weight of reasonable doubt now clearly favors acquittal on all charges.”
