He did it.

But, the police framed a guilty man.

The manner in which their case stated it happened is not how it went down. The story doesn't match up to the lack of physical evidence in the trailer or garage. She wasn't killed in the trailer. More than likely, he abducted her, took her to the back part of the property where there's a gravel pit, and burned her back there, leaving both the car and the burned bits there. The cops came along, pretty much knew who did it, but wanted a stronger case (the gravel pit part of their property (is it even theirs?)) is somewhat public access - it's traversed by all sorts, people off-road back there, kids hang out there, etc, so defense can more easily say 'could have been anyone'), so they put her car in the junkyard, put some of his blood in it, (later had their lackey walk right to it and "find it"), and moved the bone bits they found near the gravel pit to his backyard fire pit. Then they got Brendan, who may or may not have been involved, and taking advantage of his borderline retardation, they bullied him for hours on end and fed him the story they wanted until he could repeat it back to them.

One thing for sure, Brendan will walk if he gets a great team of attorneys.

All of those confessions will be thrown out and there is no physical evidence or witness testimony to implicate him.

I'm not too far from this position. It's not the cop's "fault" on Brendan, though. You take the tools you have - you make the case you can. It's up to the lawyers and judges to regulate the "fairness" of it.


I recall the scant few times I was pressed into service as an investigator for the military. The 2 major ones - 1 was a somewhat famous incident (in the aftermath of a particularly damaging storm affecting SE Louisiana and Mississippi, if you catch my drift), at least at the time, and the other is a complete unknown in the wilds of the Sunni triangle.

The more famous of the 2 - I had a whistleblower, so I actually knew, more or less, exactly what had happened. I was going to lead with the, "I can't help you if you don't tell me the truth" - then I was going to follow with the, "We know all. Make it easy on yourself" - then move to the fear up.

I hadn't had any sleep. I was hoping these jackholes would just clam up and ask for lawyers, like anyone who'd see a single cop show would do - but, oh no, they broke under the "I can't help if you don't tell me the truth" - and tried to blame the other. I ended up pulling a 36-hour shift, and again when I had to testify (I was on night shift and my boss was a 100%, certified a-hole).

The other involved some unaccounted for CDS at a clinic. All of the personnel with access passed the urinalysis and their quarters were searched to no avail. They all seemed like clean cut, All American kids. After multiple interviews over the course of about 2 weeks I concluded that, most likely, someone assembled a "go" bag of medication - they inherited a locker of medication that was unsecured and not signed for. This was only discovered when there was a formal audit and inventory and someone spilled the beans about the "other" locker. As the shite had hit the fan, whoever had assembled it either ditched it then or it was long gone. The only other alternative was that they had sold it, because they were all clean, from a drug sense.

So, I had no criminal case to make because I had no evidence.

The evidence is everything, from a prosecution standpoint.
