They just look for anything to make the case... Ruining lives. It's so dystopian and sad.
Been the someone. It's shit. ACAB.
Police metrics are governed by clearance stats, and pinning a crime on someone is enough for a case to count as "solved". If it goes to court, that's all they need, and it doesn't matter if the suspect is found guilty.
Exactly. Just so very dumb.
There's no way this would have been admissable as evidence on its own.
Heh, you wish. All it takes is one corrupt judge.
Well they do have a DNA of a suspect. It may be enough to get court order of DNA extraction of a subject. And matching DNA is definitely enough to get someone behind bars.
