He was not accused of a crime! The police wanted to question him as a "person of interest" - big difference!
Almost every news story I saw report on this when it broke last week reported it incorrectly in the headlines as him being "wanted" - it's a shame that journalism can get away with being so sloppy sometimes.
- dalore 14y agoWhat about his friends on the "trumped up charges"?
- at-fates-hands 14y ago> He was not accused of a crime! The police wanted to question him as a "person of interest" - big difference! Agreed. However, running from the law and how he's been acting is not in accordance with someone who's innocent - no?
- darkarmani 14y ago> However, running from the law and how he's been acting is not in accordance with someone who's innocent - no? What law? You mean the corrupt "legal" system there? Wouldn't most innocent people who are afraid of corrupt police act in the same way? (i guess that implies his innocence then!)
- philwelch 14y ago> He was not accused of a crime! The police wanted to question him as a "person of interest" - big difference! It's a procedural difference, but "person of interest" is really just a bureaucratic euphemism for "suspect we don't officially designate as a suspect yet".
