In every media account of the arrest and prosecution of Heinrich, there seems to be some reference to him as THE POI of the Wetterling case. The FBI and the BCA are sure carrying on as if the have solved the case even if they can't proceed with a prosecution. Even Sheriff Sanner is basking in the glory. Can anyone provide any quote from him or other Indication that would suggest that he has any serious doubts or reservations about Heinrich's involvement? I suspect the "court of public opinion" has pretty well acquitted him.
Sannerhasn't publicly exonerated DR and he probably won't unless charges are filed against Heinrich. Ultimately the question of his treatment of DR is going to be raised.
That seems to be the case.....no pun intended.
