You can't answer that question right now.

You don't know whether he's a suspect or not. BRPD could be saying "no" to the media and "yes" inside the confines of the investigation. Publicly, he's been deemed not a suspect at this time by BRPD. His lawyer considers him a suspect, apparently, from his own quotes, so there you have it. Didn't help PR wise for him to say that, but he did.
Per BRPD, they want to interview him along with many other people. Could be truth or fiction. He may be the only person they want to interview for all we know. The police will say whatever they need to say to get on with an investigation. Whether it's the truth at the time, we don't know. Some people will automatically believe he's a suspect and the police are not showing their cards or not doing so for liability reasons. Some will believe he's not a suspect until deemed otherwise. I'm hoping he's not and won't be, but that's only my hope.
If I'm La'el, though, I'd have a good lawyer with me at the time of the interview, whether I know anything or not and especially if he's had relations with the victim in the past 8 months or so.

Baton Rouge PD likely has a list of possible suspects. only one of them is the true murderer, or possibly none of them. That doesn't mean all of them aren't suspects. believe it or not, there can be more than one suspect in a crime that involved one person. You know what happens when they get enough evidence to single out one person? They present that evidence to a judge, and that judge determines whether that evidence gives rise to enough probable cause to issue an arrest warrant. You know what happens next? The case is presented to a grand jury, and the grand jury determines whether there is enough evidence to formally charge him with the crime. Then a jury determines his guilt or non guilt after a trial.
You are far too wrapped up in meaningless terminology like "suspect," a term that holds no actual legal significance.

I haven't looked since last night, but I find it sad that many of the non-LSU users were less accusatory and condemning in the SECr thread than are here, on the LSU Rant.

Why do you think they want a paternity test from him?

quote:Not really. Dont call him one until he actually becomes a suspect. A suspect is a person who is thought to have comitted a crime. It isnt some loose definition like you keep trying to make it. It is a word that has a clear cut definition. Until he becomes a person that is thought to have actually committed murder, AKA A SUSPECT, dont incorrectly call him one

LSU has a tough time getting Juniors to stay for their Senior season. A players finally stays, improves his draft stock, stays injury free, and his ex gets murdered and his draft stock takes a hit.

Like the other guy said, Collins' attorney even used the word suspect. Not sure why he's beating this drum page after page.
Suspect, person of interest, witness, etc. Who gives a crap how they are termed? It really makes no difference.

it really is. "suspect" holds no legal significance whatsoever except for potentially liability if someone is called a "suspect" to the media, but in the criminal law context, it really means nothing.

Motive. Could change the focus of the investigation.

If he is the father, there is no maybe about it.

I'm not sure what you are saying. Even if he is the father, it doesn't mean Collins had anything to do with it really. It will make the police look harder at him and his associates, however.
Posted on 4/29/15 at 12:57 pm to dagrippa
If he is the father they will be looking at him as a possible suspect. Y'all carry on with foolish semantics.

You do realize that there are other legal reasons needing to know if he's the father aside from being an implication of some sort of complicity, right? Like, for example, the fact that he is the sole parent of the child if he is the father?
And, RTaylor, I'm not concerned whether or not he's a dick. If he is, fine. I just think it's kind of distasteful to try to take down one of your own at the drop of a hat. If he's involved, then he deserves all of what he's getting. But if he isn't, this situation is F'ed up.

You're letting the retards get to you. Go take a nap or something.
