"What happens to him if he is a witness"
What happens to any man interviewed, by LE, who gives
different versions on 3 points; who, when confronted w forensic evd, changes his story on one point; who admits to LE he lied?
If/when DDW is tried, JW gets on stand, testifies, is subject to direct & cross exam, and is exposed as having given diff versions on 3 points and having lied to LE about events of that day. The jury is instructed about the weight to give his testimony.
"Who takes care of JW after LE basically ruined his foreseeable future"
Is his foreseeable future ruined? By LE? How? Did LE disclosure to public thru affidavits, etc. of JW's lies ruin it? In the course of investigating deaths, LE interviews ppl, collects & analyzes evd, etc. Crim chg's are brought. Can LE keep its investigation findings secret and say to judge -
We can't give you any details, like what JW told us about the money drop but we think DDW killed Mr S.
Do you mind waiting until trial? IDTS. Some info is released pre-trial.
Not like some whacko LEO decided:
'I don't like JW's looks, so let's issue a media release and let the world know he lied.'
Did LE commit illegal acts in interviewing or investigating him? IDK and have no reason to think so, and I hope not.
JW's claims about his
vehicle racing - info he made public on his SM and has bn subject to public scrutiny since posting. If unexpected sleuthers put it under the magnifying glass and found discrepancies, exaggerations, or outright lies
(<---IDK which) imo, any blame lies at JW's feet, not LE's. Some folks here said -
JW fudged a bit on some racing results, so what? If ppl care about that, meaning care either about accurate standings or JW's lack of inattn(?) to accurate detail re standings, then okay; if ppl don't care, then okay. Is it relevant to his testimony? IDK. Is it relevant to other ppl's future dealings w him, well, that's up to them, isn't it?
Should LE offer protective custody for him? IDK.
A cold, cruel world for a 26 y/o man? Maybe so.
I'd like to think he's in no way involved beyond innocent courier duty. I hope he can get some traction (pun intended) w his career and life paths, whatever they may be.
...So, assuming your knowledge is correct that DW acted totally alone. Only DW was involved in the planning and execution of this crime. In terms of JW, just another victim who for some reason got flustered and lied about his actions, what happens to him if he is a witness? Does he have to do anything else? Does LE say, looks like all of your stories check out, so feel free to leave the country for a while? Do they ask him to stay put? Do they clear him publicly, even though they are under no obligation to? Do they protect him because they fear some of DW's friends who aren't in jail might want to make sure JW doesn't give any info on the events of that day. Who takes care of JW after LE basically ruined his foreseeable future? What happens to him? ...
