Is this the same ASA James Murphy who ran into some trouble regarding the Adam Toledo shooting case?
Adam Toledo? Sure, that will play well in 10. Who is his campaign advisor? Moe, Larry and Curly?
Maybe check the facts of the case and actually watch the video. Murphy didn’t do anything wrong and Foxx ultimately had to admit it publicly in the press.
