I can see why the sheriff doesn’t want to rush to call it lynching when there isn’t evidence of lynching specifically. BUT it appears to be a horrific and violent crime that surely should be their first priority. Sheriff’s statement is downplaying the whole thing.
Well yes if they had said “by technicality this is not a lynching, but it certainly smells like one” I don’t think we’d be thinking the sheriff is fucked in the head. But he didn’t say that

No defensive wounds, if the sheriff’'s office isn’t lying.
