Most people have not said he is being railroaded straight out. We have said it's a possibility. I have said LE needs to focus on hard evidence. Him using his right to remain silent is not evidence.

Yes, that happens all time. People have places to go. They may have one drink and decide not to like the person. Go to a bar any given weekend. This happens.

Obviously. But they still need evidence.

I never said they did. It doesn't change his rights in any way.

Again, this happens all over the country. I remember being underage, going to bars, and having older men buy me drinks. Never did it lead anywhere nefarious, and I made it home safely. Of course, I remembered the buddy system. We can't just ignore that young people drink with older people all...

If you read where my post was directed, it said they had evidence: JM on video. JM on video is not evidence of a crime.

They have a missing persons case.

He absolutely does not need to speak with LE. Would we like him to? Sure. Would LE like him to? Sure. But need? No. LE's case needs to be based on evidence. They don't need evidence to talk to him, they need evidence to prove their case.

This scenario happens all the time, every weekend all across the country without people going missing.

Unfortunately for their case, he has more of a right to stay silent than they have to speak to him. People are convicted without ever speaking to LE all the time. Get the evidence, get your case in order.

Being in the video is not evidence of a crime.

Yes, everyone should try and have a lawyer when dealing with the police. Protect yourselves, and your case. For Hannah's sake, it is important that JM's rights are allowed and not used against him.

Correct, I have no idea if he is innocent or not. I don't even sway one way more or the other. But I'm not making a decision based on him not talking. Show me some real evidence, make it easy for me, and I will say "LE got their guy!". But until then, I am not going to jump on the bandwagon.

Did you not see the press conferences? Even CNN was confused by LE's tone. That aggressiveness is a tool to make the public believe JM is their guy. And yet, LE hasn't disclosed any evidence they have. And what are we all talking about instead of the evidence? Him not talking. They don't need to...

This is why victims family members are not in charge of investigations. If JM was my son, I would tell him not to say a word without a lawyer. It is what I was taught, by my family, who is full of LE.

A detective said they talked to him at the apartment and wanted to talk to him again. We have no clue what he said then. He still has every right not to say one single word. And that is not evidence of a crime.

No, Police should try and find evidence. That is their job. Their job is not to vilify someone for using their right to remain silent.

Lets see....Guy goes out, has a drink with girl (Do we know he knew how old she was?), and they go their separate ways as most people do after having a drink. Guy then has car taken by police, who are insinuating to the media he has more to do with the case than he does, feels he has a...

He can't complain for being vilified for doing what he has every right to do? LE Knows people have the right to remain silent, that isn't a reason to continue to focus on someone. If they have evidence so be it. But using your right to remain silent is not evidence, and should not be held...

They aren't discussing any evidence against him, which is my point in that sentence. They are angry he wont talk, and using that to try and vilify him in the media. They do not have any video or eye witness evidence that she got in his car, and they are still waiting on forensics.
