Leak was intentional for the city of Atlanta and financial reasons so people would say, hey the FBI has their guy, we can now go back to the Games and spend all our money.
Atlanta needed a quick scapegoat to quell fears while the Games were still going on...once the Games were over, they dropped Richard as a suspect.
Agree with this. RJ was blamed b/c the US, Atlanta, and the IOC couldn't afford the embarrassment of having no idea who did the attack. They needed a scapegoat to make people feel safe and jumped on him b/c he was an easy target.
Not much different than how the West Memphis 3 got blamed for murder IMO.
