I don't understand this comment are you viewing the Deputy as being cold or indifferent to a missing child remains? From what determination could that be established, seriously I'm not being snide I'm confused.
If you go back to where I first voiced my opinion this was OP and my reply. I believe it doesn't matter if it was a high profile case or not. If that was my baby or gbaby left in the woods from Aug to Dec because officer Cain by his own admission didn't follow thru on a witness statement, I'd be very upset.
I agree - if this was a low profile case I don't believe he would have been fired - he didn't see anything and thought the area had already been searched - so what if he was rude to the meter reader -(not that I agree with being rude ever) it just doesn't justify him being fired IMO
High or low profile, how would you feel if that was your child or grandchild?
I 100% agree we're all entitled to our own opinions and feelings. But all those folks posting Cain was fired for not doing his job well are misinformed, Cain was not fired for Shoddy work. He was fired because of all the lies he told the detectives. This is not my opinion, it was the opinion of the officers who filed this report.

And this is a copy of the sheriff's final finding on the Cain investigation.

What does sympathy have to do with technical issue's? Others have their views too and if their empathetic their empathetic, varying views are healthy for a discussion. You appear to be also calling the Deputy a liar, prior to his full due process rights because of what you read and upon your reading it at only face value.. This makes one side all correct and the other side immediately wrong, plus let alone guilty right off the bat. Please take that into consideration as that does not seem like its fair doctrine. Maybe your views come from your interpretation of his interviews. Either way he still also has rights and that's important. Or maybe your concerned his alleged actions or in-actions will negatively affect the outcome of the case to a great degree? I think not but then again I see through what's really occurring within this saga.
I'm further confused on how you perceive demotion for a Deputy who is entitled to his full due process. The Deputy was not demoted he was required to turn in his gear and equipment, its procedural. Is the Independent Review Board looking to fire him? Yes in short. The Deputy was still working last I read. Again this is where his due process rights came into play. Surly you don't have a problem with his rights to a fair hearing since the Independent Review is the beginning process in this procedure?
Maybe I misunderstood, I viewed losing badge, gun and title for X number of days as his original punishment for doing shoddy work. At that time he was still entitled to be reinstated as a LEO, if he was cleared by the review board. Then a review of his statements and actions was completed showing he indeed did lie to the detectives.
Yes he is still employed by OCSD, but not as a deputy. He is a supply clerk.
My opinion, which you said we are all entitled to is, he lied. I came to this conclusion from reading his sworn testimony given on different days. He back tracks, he changes his story, he even tries to pawn the blame off on his supervisor. He gives different accounts than other witnesses.
I don't know why he didn't follow thru with investigating the claim of Kronk saying there is a human skull in a bag.
I also don't know why he picked up a bag of toys, found a few hundred feet from where Caylee was found and chucked them into the trees rather than taking a report of a suspicious bag in a critical area. When there is a known missing toddler who lived around the block. Shouldn't it be up to CSI or detectives to say if there is a connection or not?
I don't think Cain has done irreparable harm to the state, by following up on witness concerns OCSD has even showed themselves to be above the mediocre who wouldn't care.
Due process, it's a funny thing. Some people in some jobs are able to say "Fired, I'm not fired." And they go right back to work, then the powers that be jump thru a few hoops and fire them again. I was fired once, if I had tried to say "No, I don't believe you" they would have called the cops and had me removed. Heck, maybe even arrested.
I know Not everyone is cut out to be LEO, no shame there. Maybe the poor quality of Cains work is a reflection on his dissatisfaction with his job.
I hope I answered your question in here somewhere. I didn't think you were snide at all.
