This critical incident briefing provided the public direct information without mass media coverage. It is detailed and provides the context of the kidnapping, car chase, and final arrest of the suspect, Gene Evin Atkins. Is it, as the lawyers for the family of the Trader's Joe manager who was killed as a bystander, a “slickly produced public relations piece”? Or does it provide information the public would not have gotten otherwise?
