“I'm not sure which agency recovered the alleged evidence, but I'm sure the computer has been handed over to federal or state law enforcement by now,” District Attorney
I (and a few friends) have been independently emailing and calling, etc. in Mitchell, Howard and Scurry Counties. It is amazing who are very responsive and those who are down right cold/rude.
Very telling IMHO.
What ?? Your kidding me right?
I supposed in a place like this part of texas these kinds of missing kids/ CP cases are so everyday and routine that the DA doest pay much attention to what is going on ,much less ever speak with investigators about what happening in work related events.
The DA doesnt know what agency recovered the alledged evidence? The DA is SURE the either federal or state LE has it by now. I feel much better.
Cocktail anyone?
District Attorney Hardy Wilkerson said Tuesday. “However, until the evidence and a report is handed over to our office, there's nothing we can do to prosecute the alleged crime. It also depends whether or not the feds want it.”
*sigh* Indefinite pronoun. :banghead:
"It" could mean "whether the Feds want the evidence" or "whether the Feds want the local DA to prosecute."
They should have asked that guy for clarification - what is he talking about?
The way it works is that LE does an investigation and if/when they have evidence that a crime has been committed they turn the evidence over to the DA who then decides whether or not to prosecute, based on the strength of the evidence. The DA does not oversee the initial investigation.
The DA presents the evidence to a GJ and they will decide whether it goes to trial or not. But it depends on which agency handled this part of the investigation... state or federal.
I assume that they are still trying to figure out if the CP is tied into Hailey's case. It may not be, it may be a separate issue entirely.
Is there local media?Has the local media stopped covering this case? It appears as though they are not even contacting LE and asking questions.
It's my understanding that CP is being handled separate, but as you stated that doesn't mean it can't be tied in to HD's case.....it may well be.
The DA doesn't always go to the GJ..for indictment. Most times the evidence found is enough to charge the perp. I think the GJ is brought in if there is good circumstantial evidence...and the forensics will take some time to get back. Maybe they are waiting for the puter expert's findings...and any witnesses the DA may have at this point-- to testify at GJ---he feels aren't strong enough......or wouldn't feel they would be too truthful, Kwim? Tho you would think if the DA had the forensics back and it definitely pointed to SA with CP....there would be no need for the GJ. ??
I just think it is and has been too quite in SA's world since the beginning of this case. Nothing be brought forward or commented on from anyone with the exception of his cousin and a past paramour.
