I still think that there must be some underlying fact in the case that we're missing - like an admission that Mr. Thompson was drinking and driving by who ever answered the door or by a second witness. There must have been some sort of coorberating evidence somewhere else besides the single eyewitness. Granted there may or may not have been a discarded vodka bottle, but maybe he was alleged to have thrown it at the witness. Maybe that was enough.
