re: #558 Mich-again

Buck has a profound misunderstanding of the law if he thinks the police need a bulletproof case against a perp to make an arrest.

Not necessarily. Under SYG, you have to provide a judge enough evidence that he signs off on an arrest before you can begin to really begin to treat the person as a suspect. If the judge decides that the evidence presented isn’t enough to disprove the “self-defense” claim, then your hands are bound. You could keep whacking your head against that wall, hoping to find something eventually, but it’s just as plausible that further investigation is deemed a “waste of resources” and the case deemed closed.
