One time I had a friend who was robbed in Philadelphia and beaten enough to be hospitalized. A detective came and talked to me, alone, with my parents in another state, with no attorney. He informed me that if my friend died, I'd be a 'prime suspect'! Apparently, based on nothing other than their lack of other information... Or he was trying to intimidate me in case i did know more. I wasn't even 18.
Who knows... you do hear of cases where crimes are pinned on innocent people, seemingly because some DA would rather prosecute anybody than leave it 'unsolved'.
- steveklabnik 9y agoI worked at a pizza chain in college; closing manager on the night shift. Due to some stuff I won't get into here, tons of "safety" stuff in the store didn't work (camera was fake, bell on the door broken, etc), and I ended up getting robbed at gunpoint one evening. I called the police, they interviewed me. Came back a few days later and did it again. At the time, what I remember feeling like was that they were trying to figure out if I made it up and kept the money rather than actually catching the person who had a gun to my head. I was pissed.
