    Is there a mechanism where if you don't believe you're being treated fairly by local law enforcement that thou can get the feds involved?

    What can be done? Does one just have to just get fucked over, deal with it, then try to sue? What if you're to poor to afford a lawyer?

    They should be invloved. Cops shouldn't be allowed to investigate ttheir fellow cops.

    When you sue someone a lot of those type of lawyers are pro bono so they get a huge cut of the winnings or nothing if you lose.

    Remember, she had 24hrs to come up with a story before she was interviewed by the police.

    A regular citizen would not have been allowed to do that.

    Wow. Aren’t you supposed to be presumed innocent until proven guilty?

    Black people aren't afforded this luxury.

    Can you not smell bullshit a mile away?

    Well, that’s just flat out wrong. Of course the victim’s place should be searched...in order to find out if there’s anything there that could provide a motive for her to shoot him. That would be critical in incriminating her. Maybe his laptop provides evidence of some sort of relationship or grudge between the two. Or maybe she hid something incriminating there. Her story is full of holes and the investigators need to find any evidence, whether in her apartment or his, that would provide proof about what happened.

    Sure. A likely story when the perpetrators are investigating themselves...

    I’m pointing out why a competent investigation would include a search of the victim’s apartment and possessions. Your assumption that the investigation won’t be objective may prove to be correct, but it’s only an assumption at this point. Frankly, I would think the police failing to do a complete investigation would be more indicative of the fix being in.

    There's a difference between what I'm talking about and what you're talking about.

    I'm saying there's no reason to investigate him for things like possession of drugs. Find dirt. Etc etc etc. I get what you're saying though. They want to make sure there wasn't motive, and maybe there was. I had read somewhere that there had been noise complaints from apartments below his (which is where she lived).

    ...I'll ask again, if she really thought she was at her own apartment why would she be banging on the door and yelling "let me in"?...if, in her mind she thought it was her own apartment she would have also had her own key and therefore would not have had to yell "let me in"...she could have simply unlocked the door and walked in.
    ...there are things here that just don't add up.

    They still haven't, to my knowledge, released her toxicology report.

    I think she was either drunk and it was a mistake, or she was sober and this was murder. Plain and simple.

    ...here's something else that makes no sense;

    "The search warrant revealed that in addition to 10.4 grams of marijuana in Ziplock bags, two fired cartridge casings; a black backpack "with police equipment and paperwork"; and a black ballistic vest with "police" markings had also been found in Jean's apartment."




    ...why in the world would police stuff be found in his apartment?...I'm starting to think that maybe these 2 people might have known each as more than just neighbors.

    I bet it comes out that they had some kind of relationship, and things went sour and she wanted an excuse to off him.

    ...Jules, that's precisely what I was getting at...there's just too many things that don't add up...it could very well be a crime of passion.

    ...but you know how it is...just about any time a person of color is killed by a caucasian many people jump to the conclusion that it was racially motivated.

    No one has said that. We are saying the cover up is though.

    Why the fuck is Fox noise "reporting" that he had weed in his house?

    Exactly...
