We don’t know of any actual evidence or investigation that pointed LE to RA. We know he came forward as a witness immediately and self-reported wearing jeans 5 years later and that’s enough investigation for the unified command. We don’t know of any tip or investigation that pointed to RA. He came forward as a witness.
With the Karen Reid trial, the Mississippi goon squad, my own experiences and countless other stories of police corruption, I would never blindly trust LE just because a person got hired to do a job. We’re all human, police can be bad at their jobs too. I find nothing trustworthy about the UC, especially with the refusing to investigate tips, refusing to confirm alibis, refusing evidence from witnesses, excluding 90% of witness descriptive statements on the PCA to force RA as a match and the boatloads of destroyed “lost” evidence in this case. None of this says trustworthy police work. I don’t even understand what they claim they did for 5 years.
On the other hand, in this case, I trust the FBI, experts, Click and those LE in this case who actually did the work, investigated leads and came forward when they saw RA arrested, putting their reputations on the line to say no, this isn’t right, the third party culprits are far more compelling.
I will be second guessing whether I would ever come forward as a witness as I own jeans as well and that’s the bar to throw someone in solitary confinement without a trial in Indiana.
