Just saying....

If I was the last person seen and with someone who was pronounced dead, I would be in prison right now. Awaiting trial for murder.

Not on a paid vaca from the police department.

Then again...I don't own a badge.

Come on now. You can't hold someone in jail without charging them with a crime, not even regular ol' run of the mill non-cop people. Remember the whole "innocent until proven guilty" thing? Cops often conduct an investigation while criminals roam free until they have enough evidence to arrest them and charge them with a crime.

Even once charged, not everyone is held in jail to await trial. Most people post bail even when someone dies and if the evidence is not immediate, the specific person is not obvious, and the character of the suspects is good, judges may not set the bail to high.

As for the paid suspension? Well, I'm not crazy about that either, but the nature of their job invites the potential for something going wrong on a regular basis. They are innocent until proven guilty just like you or I. If a cop had to worry about losing his paycheck every time the act of simply doing his job brought up an investigation that may take weeks, there would either be very few cops or lots of people who pretend to be cops who are terrified of interacting with a criminal public to actually do their jobs.

You certainly bring up valid points. All I know is that around here, you'd be held. I suppose you could make bail. The system is so twisted. My state sucks.

But if suspected of murder, my job wouldn't suspend me with pay. Again...no badge here.

Again, have friends who are cops. Far from a cop-hater. But this case needs attention. Legal attention. Not riot attention.

Just sad and pathetic. All of it. IMO.

Edit: They had a crime to be charged with.
