Well color me confused but does it seem they are trying to put the cart before the horse?

Usually they make an arrest then prepare for trial.

Guess the DA isn't taking any chances! Hope they're keeping a close eye on the POI!

So, whoever this mysterious POI is, he/she is not considered a danger to anyone else.

 

[No Stone Unturned]

I know who I think it the POI might be.

bbm..

well this sounds like we may all be surprised when they finally make an arrest?

Hi nurse! :seeya:

Sounds like he's preparing his client's defense by starting to trash the victim. Just can't imagine who else the POI is that LE hasn't been concerned about others being in danger all these months. Maybe I'm wrong......

MOO

We just saw that in the Jake and Jessica case. I learned from that to be more careful in my judgement.

Glad to see an update from the Sheriff. Don't know if he might release more details or if we are left waiting for another 3 months! I think it was in May that we last heard from Mr. Box and also Mr. Fares,.the Atty. for Mr. Swift. Glad to hear LE is preparing for trial, but not so glad to see that LE did not rule out or clear Mr. Swift.

Good point. What is noticeably missing from the announcement is clearing her husband as the POI.

MOO

Considering this is the husband's attorney...I would be shocked, not surprised, if the POI is someone else.

Which is ironic logic, since Karen Swift was found with a cracked skull and other visible trauma..

Exactly! My first impression in reading his comment as well.

MOO

Haven't seen that anywhere yet.

Nah. I doubt you're wrong. He insults folks by calling them ignorant? Sounds like the only "ignorant" person is him by trashing a murdered victim by throwing such unfounded accusations even before his client is charged with a crime.

"A lot of people say that. Those people are ignorant and don't know what they're talking about," said Farese.

Justice for Karen!! Can't wait to see the perp strut his sorry arse to prison.

 

[cluciano63]

No matter who the POI is, Le has no business saying that no one else is in danger, when a woman has been murdered. Even if the ex/almost ex-spouse is the POI, we've seen cases where men went on to harm or kill other wives or girlfriends. Or children. That is pretty irresponsible of them to say that. If they have evidence, arrest the person. You don't have to build your entire case in advance. Lots of times, additional evidence comes in by announcing who the POI is and making an arrest. The public may know more than they think they know.

oh!!!! I thought it was the DISTRICT atty!

:thud:

oh... I get it now......:what:
