They seriously screwed the pooch on this. The charge should be manslaughter or something similar. They need to throw at least one police(wo)man under the bus on this one, or the fallout is gonna be so incredibly bad.
It's not the proper charge due to politics (because it doesn't seem like a technical legal reason), and politics is about the interplay between different people or groups, and this is gonna make this SO much worse.
If you’re looking for accountability, we’ve got some bad news for you.
When innocent people are falsely convicted of crimes and later freed, in more than half of the cases, misconduct by police and prosecutors played a contributing role.
That's the primary theme of a new report, "Government Misconduct and Convicting the Innocent," released today by the National Registry of Exonerations, which has been tracking all known exonerations in the United States for the past 30 years. Every year they release a report documenting trends in exonerations, how often DNA evidence plays a role in determining an innocent person is behind bars, problems with eyewitness testimony, and of course, misconduct by officials.
This new report drills into all of the exonerations they've archived up until February 2019. That's 2,400 cases. These are people who have been convicted of crimes, sentenced, then later cleared based on new evidence showing their innocence.
In 54 percent of these cases, misconduct by officials contributed to a false conviction. The more severe the crime, the more likely misconduct played a role when an innocent person was convicted.
The most common type of misconduct involved concealing exculpatory evidence, which is evidence that suggests the defendant is not guilty.

i've mentioned my personal horror story with an overly aggressive ladder climbing jackass
he has caused me a lot of pain over the years and came within a whisker of completely ruining my life
we need law enforcement for everyone, including the enforcers
I read that earlier. Besides the, uh, indiscretions, I guess our judicial system never got the memo:
When were debtors prisons abolished in the US? 1833 Library of Congress:
In the United States, debtors' prisons were banned under federal law in 1833. A century and a half later, in 1983, the Supreme Court affirmed that incarcerating indigent debtors was unconstitutional under the Fourteenth Amendment's Equal Protection clause.Feb 24, 2015
