Spelling errors and why he was there aside; why was his wallet in his hand? What was he expecting to pay for at 3.30 in the morning?

I would even suggest the drug buyer decided to pocket his friends cash & came up with this as a cover story. Either way no sympathy it should be taken as part and parcel of "life on the street" for the 'victim' or why whine ?
