i get it but if they had a suspect what could come up other than a confession or the killer told someone else.

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 instance, the "dated the same girl" and "prior fight" and "suspended from the team" and "called someone asking for money to get out of time" all paint a pretty damning picture that SHOULD HAVE led cops, even at the time, to try to chase down any gun records, purchases, etc. that would match up to what they found at the scene.

In the absence of any forensic evidence, or any witnesses stepping forward, this case has been an uphill battle for a while.

Bro, this bull chit is always over a female! Like there’s so many chicks out here, yet ninjas are so quick to pop a dude over someone that’s CLEARLY not faithful. I don’t get how these dudes r so quick to take another man’s life over a female that belong to the streets.

Exactly!!
Plus, it’s Miami. You, me, just about everyone here trips over one ***** dog and one girl the moment you wake up, 5 more during lunch and 10 others during dinner. The type of city we live in, excess females out there.

These athletes, even more so, x10. F**** fighting & killing someone over one girl. WTF, man.

Cribby, the only time I fought for a girl I was w/, is if she was being disrespected or the dude was being disrespectful…but if I found out that skeeze was messing w/ another dude; I’m shaking that man’s hand, wishing him good luck & move on. Way too much **** **** to focus on one chick that clearly wasn’t mine.

Mind boggling bro. It’s Miami, go North, South, East, or West & u’ll find any chick u want that’s fire. And U’re an athlete?? Yet, u kill ur teammate over a chick that’s moved on? Bruh….it’s some real weirdos out here. Hence, why I started to remove ppl from my circle. If u fighting over a chick that cheated on u, moved on, f’ing w/ side dudes, U’re a weirdo. I know we all got pride, but move on. I can fully attest, the next will be better.

I really dont know what to say.

I read the ESPN article and I was wondering why they didnt go after Jones harder. Now that they got him, I am shocked despite everything that was public beforehand.

I hope that the family can now finally close this chapter as this has been going on for way too long.

You really don't want to charge until you have a pretty airtight case, is my guess. Haven't had too much involvement as a lawyer with criminal law but my impression is once you charge, it's hard to drop the case and then retry later if you don't have enough evidence to win a conviction. If you try the case in court and lose, you can never try again if new and better evidence comes to your attention. You've really only got one shot at winning a conviction. So, I guess a lot of cases sit for a long time until there is enough evidence to have a shot at winning.

I remember studying criminal procedure in law school (essentially 4th, 5th & 6th amendments). There are so many hurdles you have to go through before you have a winnable case that you want to bring to trial.

I hardly remember this guy. I guess I was half asleep during that era....UM football became so disappointing and hard to watch. We were recruiting guys all over the place who were fairly decent players, could play major college ball, but not excel. Not the guys you needed to be at the top. Not memorable guys at all.
