I’ve been thinking about what I believe are the facts as I understand them.
I don’t believe the Dallas police or FBI had probable cause and therefore DB was arrested for kidnapping and burglary, not murder.
All conjecture aside, in the 15-16 hours period between the discovery of Cash on Saddleback and the arrest of DB at his home, which would have required a warrant, LE had no compelling evidence for murder on which to base charges presented to a judge. It seems obvious that after a Search at his residence, no clear evidence was discovered, either. There has been a great deal of speculation here, but I think that if videos showed him carrying Cash along the long path from Florina to Saddleback, into the Woods and then dumping him in the middle of the street, or vice versa, there would have been enough to charge murder while the Forensics were carried out.
Likewise if compelling evidence had been discovered at his home.
This explains why he has not been charged other than for kidnapping and burglary and his attorney has not seen any evidence for any of the complaints. The link is an Intro/ Primer to the Criminal Justice process.
