I mean like 1/2 of murders go unsolved rn. I don’t think they have too much to worry about.

I think it’s been about that for awhile. But some of the times they know who it is. They just have absolutely no fucking case. No evidence or witnesses gets you pretty much fucking nowhere. Shit. You have a witness who says he is about to testify that Jake from Statefarm murdered someone. Then that person ends up dead. Then you got no case.

True. This can happen. However. I’ve been a witness to accidents a lot and I’m pretty fucking reliable. Not a murder though. So not really that comparable.
