What Ypsi police did, that they shouldn't have done:
1. Very early in the investigation, they interviewed JT's biological mother, step-mother, biological sister and step-sister about events that happened even before Julia was born. They did found out that JT was abused in his childhood. But what does this have to do with Julia's death? All this did was antagonize JT and his family.
2. They should not have prosecuted JT for child *advertiser censored*, because there was no proof. I think Ypsi police is partially responsible for this. They may have pressed Monroe to prosecute.
3. They should not have named JT a POI. It is questionable if they should have considered him a POI. But in any case there was no reason to publicly announce it.

(SBM for brevity)
1) Being abused as a child can cause one to become an abuser (NOT always). If it is believed a person may have knowledge or involvement, his/her personal background is additional info needed to make a determination if that is the case here. Asking people who knew that person about his character is logical. Since we are not privy to ALL evidence or info gathered or used by LE, we can't honestly know how helpful it is to the investigation.
2) Being judged "not guilty" is not necessarily "innocent". Before bringing this to court, I believe they should have had better information of the ages portrayed in the images, and who put them there. Logic says it was someone who had frequent access to the computer. Seems a computer expert would know what went on during a session of viewing these images..... types of sites visited, deletions, saves, searches. Possibly times accessed would show who had access at those times.
YPD did what was required when the images were found. It was not their place to prosecute or ask for that to occur.
3) YPD had no intention (from my understanding) of naming JT as a POI, but felt it would come out if the search warrant came into play. Thus, better for them to speak up than wait.
all JMO.
Confused? Not at all! Rose has jumped out in front of any camera that will entertain her mug and mouth. I say keep talking Granny, you're backing yourself into a lovely little corner with your very own words! Please continue!
Please, let's not bash grieving grandparents here. She has had microphones pushed at her, and gives short statements that address her personal feelings/beliefs. She is entitled to that, as are all of us. There has been no slander.
