I think that what i was trying to say was, if there was concrete evidence as in DNA for eg., to tie J.H. to this crime, then to my way of looking at it, that evidence would be undeniable no matter what way you look at it, and it would definitely and undeniably tie him to the crime against Somer. No argument in that! There would be no argument with that evidence! So how much of a stronger case would they need than that. Then a jury panel would not need to be convinced of his guilt either, DNA doesn't lie! So maybe everyone is right in saying they need more time to make this a stronger case, because at the moment it isn't?
From some cold cases i have seen, there was nothing really to go on, and once DNA and forensic evidence was established, that is when an actual arrest and charge was made. Just as with the evidence they have with his child *advertiser censored*/molestation charges and the arrest for that,
landed him in prison. I don't think they needed to buy more time in that case. I am sure that DNA evidence would certainly be back by now.
Wasn't he initially just arrested on child *advertiser censored* viewing charges from what was handed in on a computer that was his? They had no hesitation to put him in jail then, with a million dollar bond. The molestation charges came after that when the camera was discovered didn't they?
There COULD be argument if JH's DNA was found on somer. It would depend, though, on WHERE it was found on her. If it was his DNA from semen then that would pretty much be a slam dunk. But if it was DNA on her clothes or in her hair, they could argue that the DNA got on there by being mixed in with the trash - his household trash mixed with whatever trash was found around or on top of somer. That trash could have been picked up by the same truck and dumped together. So IMO it would depend on where on the body the DNA was found.
I still don't think Somer was molested, but that is JMO. With her being found in the landfill, I think they have all sorts of DNA from so many sources they cannot rule anybody out, and they very well may have found JH's DNA on or around the body, but just so much other DNA, some identifiable and some not. But IF somer was molested and they find JH's DNA from semen, they he is most likely a goner.
According to witnesses, Somer was seen at the 1080 Gano house, at Grove Park Drive, and the dogs lost her scent at Gano and Debarry. If this is correct, she would have been past JH's house if she made it to Debarry. She would have even been past those apartment buildings on Gano. No witness has said (as far as we know) that they saw her go past 1152 Gano nor stop there, although people had seen her stop there on other occasions to pet the white dog, but the dog was gone on that day - JH's parents reportedly took the dog when they moved to Callahan, so somer would have probably known the dog had not been there for two weeks.
IMO it defies logic to think that somer got that far past JH's house, but that he was following her in broad daylight and snatched her in a crowd of other kids and crossing guards, parents walking with their kids, LE parked in the OPAA parking lot within sight of JH's house, cars going by, etc. It could have happened that way, but it's hard for me to imagine that scenario. But unless she veered off the normal path home, it seems SOMEBODY did snatch her off that busy street with all this going on and nobody saw or heard a thing.
Some witness saw her on the swings. WHICH swings? WHERE? Did any two witnesses see somer at the same place at the same time? It's hard to tell. It seems people saw her everywhere except where she was abducted.
