The goverment is the one asking for more time to prepare.
I guess I shouldn't have said it was the defense asking for more time, because we really don't know. Could be the defense, could be the prosecution. However, 9 times out of 10, it's the defense asking for more time, because every delay is to their advantage.
The composite was also a dead ringer for a neighborhood boy that walked to work by the house every morning.
That would be John Raupach. No, the composite sketch wasn't a dead ringer for him. It was a dead ringer for Tim Hennis, the man Patrick Cone clearly saw within four feet of him, under a streetlight.
John Raupach didn't commit this crime; the defense even admitted that he didn't. He was a seventeen-year-old high school student who happened to live in the neighborhood. He passed a polygraph and had an airtight alibi for the first bank transaction.
The defense used him to confuse the jurors in Hennis's retrial, and it worked!
