On the TV news today there was coverage of the Jacksonville, FL trial of the man who is alleged to have shot into a car full of teenagers because of loud music (although he says he was threatened by what appeared to be a shotgun). The TV personality/lawyers on the show were asking, "If his story is true, why didn't he call the police? Why did he leave the scene?"
Not a lawyer and did not stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but it seems to me that even if you aren't automatically the good guy for phoning it in, doing so at least quashes such questions about the veracity of your story.
