Posting this from the SI article. What I find A Maize ing is the similarities how the Emoni and Mazi instances happened, etc. etc.

The only difference I could ascertain is: Mazi was driving his car and in the process of obtaining a concealed permit. Emoni was driving his father's car and the weapon was not his. Rest of the case could have been 'copied and pasted.'

Simple: The simple case was Emoni's. Mazi's more complicated. The emphasis below is MINE."

“He was asked whether there was a weapon in the car. He was honest. He was forthright. He was completely cooperative. Ironically, he was in the midst of obtaining his CPL. He had not yet completely obtained it. He does have it now, which is even more ironic. But he was in the process, and I say that not to try to convey anything other than he was trying to be responsible, and he completed that process.
