Reply to comment by fullload93 in After decades in prison, exonerated Philadelphia man was fatally shot at a funeral by kittehstrophic

Enemy in prison or family of murder victim who thinks he "got away with it."

That he was shot at a funeral, presumably surrounded by other people, and the shooter is still at large, tells you a lot about who the PD side with here.

Important fact. The police won't be stressing too hard to solve this one.

You know I can be as critical of police as anyone and his overturned conviction exemplifies how distrust has been earned but its likely he was surrounded by witnesses who adhere to a strict “no snitching” policy.

Downvotes don’t make it less true! Also, the cops are probably up their ears in murder cases, it’s Philly.

What do you mean? Is it out of the question that they just havent been able to identify/find the shooter?

2 things to consider: This man was shot as he stepped out of his car, not in the middle of the funeral crowd, and half of all murders go unsolved in the US.

Half of all murders go unsolved in the US because Police are incompetent and lazy. They pinned 4 murders on this guy before he was exonerated.

Why do I have a feeling they couldn't find his murderer if the murder was on filmed with an 8K RED camera and studio lighting, while the murderer was holding a microphone and reciting his name, address, and social security number.
