It looks like they got a confession out of a wheelchair-bound 75 year-old without a trial. I wonder about his mental state, and if it was even the right person.

It looks like they got a confession out of a wheelchair-bound 75 year-old without a trial. I wonder about his mental state, and if it was even the right person.
Besides that, the two ancestry database sites said it was a breach of privacy.
So you tell me if justice was served.
- commentrix 6y agoI think what actually happened is the real killer is dead, and was unfortunately somebody prominent, but they needed to close out the case for the benefit of the public, so they found someone on an unrelated rape/murder charge who was cooperative
- mhh__ 6y agoOf course it was a breach of privacy, but that is a requirement of any chance at prosecution. This isn't like what the NSA get up to.
- lfxyz 6y agoThe killer is definitely not wheelchair-bound – Sacramento County's DA's office released a video of him exercising in his cell and climbing all over the furniture on the same day as his sentence was handed to him. The use of a wheelchair was a cynical attempt to evoke sympathy. He also has form for faking medical issues. He was caught shoplifting while still a police officer and tried to fake a heart attack in the hope that they would let him go/it would enable him to escape.
