I
REALLY hope you are never the victim of wrong place wrong time and get accused of a similar crime and have people treat you the way you are wanting this person to be treated, getting all your rights "stripped away" for
allegedly committing a crime.

yeah you are
innocent until
PROVEN guilty the cops cant just accuse you of a crime and lock you up and throw away the key, or better yet hang you for it.

the argument isn't weather or not the person was killed, obviously they are dead, the point is it can not be said conclusively that this "POS" did it, no matter how much of a POS they are. Any admitting of guilt he may or may not have made is irrelevant because the POS leos violated his rights, pure and simple

I am not defending the cops that screwed up here, it is really too bad they did, but looking at what this guy did changes things a bit wouldn't you say?

No, not at all. My condolences to the families of his victims but you know what we have rights in this country and its that simple, if a cop violates my rights any evidence that comes from that is "of the poison fruit" and needs to be tossed.
NOT TO MENTION he was acquitted of past crimes (or were reduced) which means the media triggered you with their sensationalism as they get paid to do.

Yes I am only reading the article and reacting to it.
Everyone should have their rights, I agree with this, but to see this guy get away with this due to basically a technicality makes me sick. Yes the cops should have handled it differently but it doesn't change what he did.

ok here is a scenario for you: cold winter day an (insert ethnic origin here) male was jogging down the street wearing a balaclava, all of a sudden he is taken down by the swat team beaten and arrested for a rape that happened 2 blocks away, "all the evidence pointed to him" and as a kid he was trouble with the law for different things so his track record doesn't show he is and upstanding citizen, so should the cops violate him for raping the person? i mean the person was raped how disgusting.......... get my point.
