There IS a lack of evidence and without it, the man shouldn't be convicted. That is how our system is supposed to work and this time, it did.
Jaycee Duggard's stepfather was the last one seen with her.
Riley Fox's father was the last one seen with her.
Jessica Lunsford's father was the last one seen with her.
All fell under suspicion, some for years and all were 1000% innocent.
Being the last one seen with a person doesn't make you guilty of their murder. It makes you a person of interest.
It is up to law enforcement to then develop evidence to prove that you committed the crime.
Sometimes cases go to trial that simply never should have. This was one of those cases. There simply wasn't enough evidence here to prove Kyrian was murdered, who murdered him, who dismembered him or who dumped the body. All that was proven is Kyrian died and was dismembered.
Now, if Kamel did in fact do it there is no chance for justice. Just like Nicole Brown Simpson and Caylee Anthony.
It should have been sent back to the evidence gathering phase. They should have kept investigating to see if they could find more physical evidence. They should have investigated other possibilities to eliminate them,
First place I would start is where did the dismemberment occur? Cleaning up after that is impossible, they should be able to find some evidence of it. In the other cases we've seen they have been able to find some sort of evidence of that in the home.
I don't like that nobody is paying for Kyrian's horrific death. However, the state simply didn't prove their case here. They have failed Kyrian.
