One of the reasons I think this case is very whiffy is that the ACC is involved, and they have a terrible history of corruption, as well as being a kind of 'stepping stone' to where law-keeping and politics cross paths. Ie, lotta people with a lot to lose.
Rogerson and McNamara are both *really* good at upsetting people on that level. I can't find it now, but there was an old quote I saw yesterday regarding Rogerson and his belief that there'd be some kind of 'payback' coming to him from police/govt ranks, I think that was in 2008. Don't quote me, I'll have to dig about for it again. But I was thinking as I read, "Isn't that interesting.."
And YES to those still eyeballing the 'dumb and dumber' angle, it just does NOT gel with ANYthing these men have done in the past, not their characters or decades of experience as lawmen and investigators.
I said on page 1 or 2 of this "I bet we'll never know" all of it. And I bet we never do. But somebody higher up's got poo on their shoe now, just look at how the media's being spun like an 80's nightclub hit.
Drugs in the car. I agree, too stupid a mistake for a stoned teenager, let alone these guys. Something's very very amiss here and it's driving me nuts trying to see what it is, exactly! But like I said, perhaps we will never know.
