There is a lot of hoops to jump through to get to that point.

If a mistake was made and the wrong person was arrested then fine, can totally accept that. Mistakes happen all the time. I have made my fair share. But in a case like this they really shouldn't. If there is not enough evidence to lay charges then don't make an arrest. If you arrest an innocent man, even if you withhold his name someone will know who he is and his life will never be the same. If he is guilty but you don't have enough to charge him what is served by the arrest? Nothing except to alert the suspect! At the end of the day all I really know is that some where in Alberta there is a incompetent (thankfully) murderer who does not care if who or how many people he may kill and that, in my opinion, mistakes have been made in the handling of this case. Either an innocent man was ARRESTED for crimes a crime he didn't commit or a guilty person is allowed to walk among us because someone jumped the gun.

No, arrested means nothing. They can detain you for a specified time, to further their investigation, just to make sure you don't disappear . Google Habeas Corpus. My theory is, the bullet came out of the blue, intentionally or otherwise.
