100% agree. Way too much "motive" investigatory effort was spent on "Haitians" and "stolen rims" and "da club" as opposed to "prior fights", "common girlfriends" and "witnessed threats".

"Defund" is such an unfortunate choice of words. I respect the job the police do, but I hope that with the ongoing legalization of marijuana, we can reorient our policing efforts. I would love to see more "detective" work on cold cases, financial fraud cases, etc. I would appreciate the use...

Marion County.

For the moment, I am just separating the issue of extradition from the issue of an EYEWITNESS IDENTIFICATION. No idea why it took Dade so long to "solve" the case. I know people want to hypothesize about "new evidence" or "a witness came forward", but even when the detective was testifying (to...

A 62 year old man gave a description to a sketch artist that produced a sketch that looked a lot liike Jones. AND the old man picked Jones out of a photo lineup. TWICE. Years apart.

Shooting a larger man in the back of the head with no sign of a struggle tends to make the "self-defense" argument less convincing. Generally speaking, of course.

Different county. Extradition.

Yeah, I also lived in that complex for a couple of summers (sublet from a friend while the dorms were closed). While it seemed pretty casual and safe, it also wasn't super-hard to get past the gate. Sadly, I also lived in the on-campus apartment building (years earlier) where Marlin was murdered.

Yes. The rapper's ex-girlfriend was hanging out with Marlin and I think he was helping her move. Maybe Marlin and the girl were getting acquainted, who knows, but that scumbag definitely killed Marlin because of the girl. They had no prior negative history.

I'd also say that once the case gets a bit older, the prosecutor wants to be more sure about winning the case. If they had made an arrest in the first 48 hours, it helps to show "we got the guy", but you also know full well that there might be "new" or "additional" evidence that weakens the...

Not sure if it was a 30-for-30 or just an extra-long news report. I just remember a lengthy video piece that went into great detail.

Yeah...even worse, looking into (a picture of) Bryan's face for the first time since he shot him in the back of the head.

I know there were some difficulties with this case (and other cases in the same time frame) because cell phone and other phone records were not as precisely detailed and/or available. Also, sometimes cops are hesitant to pursue cases that are heavily based on circumstantial elements. For...

Yep.

You need to watch all those 20/20 and Dateline shows about long-unsolved murders. Or watch the HBO series on the Golden State Killer. Sometimes the answer is so obvious, and yet the cops still can't figure it out.

Agreed. I remember a reference to this in the ESPN report, though it is easy to figure out when you see Google images of Rashaun wearing the #38 jersey.

Yeah. Sadly, that has probably been the primary photo that has been used since that time.

Rashaun Jones in the upper left corner of the picture (#38)

He has been one of the primary, and most logical, suspects for quite some time.
