What if it had been another child instead of JB killed that night?
Imagine: What if a friend of JB's had spent the night and ended up dead instead?
Do you think the case would've been prosecuted differently? The other family would have surely put some more pressure on the BPD for answers/a suspect.
Do you think that in the end the DA/BPD didn't go for the jugular because the suspected perps were also relatives/'victims' and presented a low/no risk of re-offending?
I remember reading about a case once where a mother left her baby in a car to go into a store for a moment and the baby accidentally got strangled by the automatic window. Technically, the police could have charged her with child negligence or manslaughter or whatever, but they didn't do so because of the emotional damage already done to the mother by virtue of losing her child.
Think something like that could have played a part?
