    They can sample DNA now if you’ve simply been in the area. They can sample it off the backpack he discarded in the park. They can sample it off the shell casings. They have his movement across many cameras.

    Remember, they only have to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt”.

    I think lemmy users need to get their head out of their asses with the “we really don’t know if he did it” thing. As much as anyone might think the crime was justified, the evidence is pretty solid. And with such an emotional newsworthy case, they’re not going to bring it to trial unless the evidence is beyond reproach.

      What do you think DNA is? The thing outside a criminals’s gloves? IRL isn’t CSI Miami. Go swap a NYC sidewalk and see what you get. That’d be a needle in a haystack.

      Remember, they only have to prove “beyond a reasonable doubt”.

      This is like saying remember marathon runners only need to run 26.2 miles.

      It’s not having our “head [in our] asses” it’s a decent respect for the freestanding system of laws. Social media vilianizing or martyrizing people alleged of cromes isn’t beneficial for true justice.

      They also said they have fingerprints from a water bottle. If that’s true, they can probably get DNA from that. If they actually need DNA.
