The silence of the masses and unquestioning belief in "those in charge" seems to be quaint and naive behaviour in the 21st Century.
If we hadn't have had humungous and public LE/DA screw ups in the form of the Ramsey, the Anthony, OJ, need I go on, then cow-like public acceptance would be still understandable.
If we lived in Communist China or North Korea, ditto. They don't question their public servants either, or expect transparency or accountability from them.
However the the media savvy, suspicious public that we have today are not going to be satisfied for long with the "don't question us, we know what we're doing" attitude that LE tend to display in news-worthy cases these days.
Freedom of Speech applies to everyone...so if you're not happy with being treated like a mushroom (eg kept in the dark and fed bs) then speak up, to your local representative, your local government, your state or federal government, your Police Commissioner.
This case could easily end up like those above, floundering amongst gutless DA's and fumbling LE, plea bargains and lawyers.
The only way to prevent that happening is for everyone's motives to be transparent and above reproach...and the only way to ensure THAT is for the public to demand accountability.
The days of those "in charge" being above reproach or criticism are long gone in the West (fortunately), even though a few staunch individuals still apparently believe in their infallibility, despite all the evidence to the contrary.
Some folks believe in the tooth fairy too I guess. :waitasec:
