If anyone has their head in the sand it’s you because everything you’re saying is wrong! Murder investigations can take years. It can take a lot of time to determine if someone was linked to a murder. Murder charges have been handed down years after the crime took place, because you need evidence to get an indictment. You’re obviously not clued up on this subject.
lol.
Yeah, that's why they have a show dubbed "The First 48" or something like that.
I'm not saying that there aren't investigations that take a long time. It happens. But not in a case where there's video, and when someone in the video has a gold chain with YKDV which clearly identifies them. Investigations that take a long time usually involve a lot of scientific evidence, extensive investigating, or discovering clues that weren't there when an investigation began, or some kind of procedural parameter, i.e., violating rights of a minor or some other civil rights parameter.
Their investigation began with them going to the media claiming they didn't know who the suspect was, and were reaching out to the public to ask for help. No doubt they knew who the gold chain with YKDV dangling from it belonged to? Unless you think the detectives aren't smart enough to search Google.
If you know how police actually operate rather than thinking you know based on what they say to the media, and testi-lie in court about, then you can logically deduce that the reason they went to the media to ask for help "identifying" the person in the video, was because they had KJ's lines tapped, and were monitoring him and the others to see how they reacted to the news of the Ray's death.
You would have to be a really stupid detective to never google YKDV, which would lead you directly to Kelvin Joseph, and you could verify his identity as well.
The Supreme Court ruled police departments can exclude hiring anyone with a high IQ, but that doesn't mean all of them are completely stupid either. This investigation wasn't rocket science.
Think what you want. I'm not going to fight with your cognitive dissonance. I'm just saying that it wasn't difficult to figure out he wasn't considered a suspect in this crime. That was apparent based on the details of the case — to some of us, at least. I work with a former captain of a department, and I work in this topic, so I know what I'm saying, which I said all along he wasn't going to be charged. Four months later, some of you will only now agree.
You're right about one thing: some investigations take decades, and there is no statute of limitations on murder. But that doesn't mean most investigations like this take that long. Not when there's that much evidence on video, and video is considered to be good evidence.
I have no idea what the league will do, but logic would say likely not much since he wasn't arrested. But I'm less sure about that than I was about KJ being cleared, admittedly.
My question to the league would be why they'd suspend him over something when the police cleared him?
If it was such a crime to not say anything (people have a Constitutional right to remain silent), then he would have been charged. If the league goes after him, it'll be an attack on free speech, or freedom of non-speech, which would ultimately not bode well for them.
