i might be beating a dead horse here BUT the case went to court because the federal government found some level of negligence and an attempt to conceal evidence by the police precinct. Firstly,
1. The kid was reported missing by his parents the very same night of the murder. The parents told the police that their son was wearing an identifiable high school ring which the cops removed (HID in fact - a criminal offense) from his personal effects. The parents also said that he had his ID on him. The cops then went further as to tag the murdered kid as a JOHN DOE when in fact they knew the identity of the dead kid.
For goodness sake, this precinct is not like a high profile metropolitan Chicago precinct where you could easily lose a body or mistake someone's identity. fluffte man, the police knew who the kid was (he was popular) and the precinct officers tried to lie to the parents and to the federal government.
2. Rather than investigate the shooting through the right channels, the cops basically sent the killer home.
Imagine your kid getting murdered by some dumb f*** who can't even pass a police exam. some dumb f*** who could barely read and write and carrying around a gun.
