He absolutely concocted the story after the announcement of the knife. The FIRST thing he would have told police was -- the guy reached for a weapon and I was defending myself. That isn't something you bring up after the fact.One of the people that went to the the apartment (but not inside) gave testimony that Etute told him he thought the guy was reaching for something. He gave that statement before it was revealed by police that a knife was there. So it lends credibility to the belief that it was self defense and not that the defense knew of the knife and later tried to concoct their stance around that fact. That timing was critical. Had the statement been given after the police reveal, that defense becomes much more murky.
