Come on folks .... EVEN IF it could be proved that DH's car was on Rassier's driveway ... so what .... it just means he and his car were there. He could simply say he pulled in for a bathroom break , turned around and drove away
Same thing if you or I pulled onto that driveway , stopped to stretch our legs , turned around and drove away .... Should we be charged with murder ?? ... Of course not.
Besides that there was no known murder until last Tuesday. Until last Tuesday kidnapping could not even be proved. A defense could speculate that the stranger on the road sent the third boy running to the woods like he did with the first two boys .
Nobody can even say Jacob was placed in a car ... none of the boys reported seeing a car .... heck , at one point even the police felt there was no car so they went after Mr Rassier because he owned the driveway.
Maybe It's a good thing police did not charge DH with kidnapping and murder based only on the tire and shoe prints ...... a jury would have found him not guilty and he truly would have gotten away with murder. He could never be re-charged again after a jury acquittal.
As it is , he only got away with murder for 27 years.
If he was convicted, he would have receieved 17 years and served 2/3 of that probably. There was no Moose Lake then was there? He would be out as he was but for less than the 27 years though
