I think you’re underestimating the meaning of “detailed investigation.” A single “detailed investigation” can tie up one or more detectives’ entire careers. (If you watch a lot of true-crime, there’s frequent mentions of how the case was solved because one detective pursued the same cold case, day-in, day-out, for literal decades, as their only case.)
But maybe the GP meant a not-so-detailed investigation. A regular investigation, per se. A cursory investigation, even.
- shadowgovt 5y agoI assumed GP meant the amount of investigation that would have been necessary to exonerate the subject of this story (which would have been less than a security-clearance-style background check). ... but we have the resources to do a security-clearance-style background check on every individual that is incarcerated against their will for reason of mental illness. I'd consider that sufficient.
