You need evidence in order to for a judge to sign a warrant for arrest. It appears that they didn’t have evidence, otherwise this ‘other suspect’ would have been arrested.
You need to be the arm of law enforcement that seeks such warrants to obtain a warrant for arrest.
The DA does it's own investigation, but if it comes down to their identifying a suspect that LE is not investigating, they turn that info over to the detectives investigating the crime. They don't seek an arrest on evidence. They would seek an arrest for failure to cooperate with their investigation.
Suffolk County is absolutely shameless. They just keep going. Dissing John Ray, when he is literally doing what LE should do but refuses, take tips! Talking out of both sides of mouths, criticizing the Commissioner's presser (and likely lying claiming it was a surprise), which disempowered the task force, while taking credit for arrests. Pledging to "personally" prosecute a case, while expressing hostility to solving it...it is unbelievable.
And I don't know the exact rules for prison mail. But... some one on Happy Face's side let him receive a literal thank you note from Rex thanking Happy Face and his family for helping Rex and his family! IMO, that should have been censored so it could not earn Happy Face notoriety, and handed right over to NYS or Federal officials to explore the incestous relationships involved among attorneys for the defense, the family, and the prosecution. They should be congenial and stop there. They should not be collaborating.
House transfer and filing for divorce occur on the same day. There is nothing wrong with a friendly divorce as long as it's not fraudulent. But such a divorce can be worked out by both parties with one lawyer. This particular divorce is atypically filed in a county other than where the plaintiff and respondent live; that atypical county of course is Suffolk. (I would like to know if Suffolk may process the divorce, or if it has to be withdrawn and re-filed in Nassau. Any NY family attorneys in the know about this?) The behaviors around the house transfer and the divorce suggest complete cooperation between parties. There is nothing wrong with that until it is considered that the same two attorneys are also advising people with very different relationships to the crimes for which Rex is the defendant. If the attorneys are so cooperative in divorce, how is the public supposed to believe that it is for AE's alleged benefit that her attorney warned her that anything she says can be used against her? How are we supposed to believe that the attorneys are not cooperating on Rex's defense, too?
Happy Face is writing Rex while his daughter is contacting Rex's wife's lawyer, who may practice in spite of his serious criminal past thanks to the now incarcerated Spota, and setting up a way to give his wife tens of thousands of dollars. The attorney has now accepted a contract which seriously brings into question his ability to protect his alleged client when it is now in his best interest to make good TV, both for his own contract and so that his client has funds to pay him.
It has always been suspicious that Macedonio claimed against logic that his client knows nothing, and had nothing for LE; I agree she might not know WHAT experience is important or WHO it helps, but it is impossible she is not a witness to something exculpatory or inculpatory. Macedonio was telling her not to help police, even by helping her husbands defense. (Which would help police/public. We don't want to get the "solving" of the case wrong, do we?) Meanwhile, AE herself didn't say she had nothing to say. She said her attorney told her not to speak because it could be used against her.
Macedonio from the time he first paraded AE around, hinting she had mental health problems, infantilizing her, emphasizing the stress of having her house damaged as something way beyond her ability to cope, appeared very much against her interests. And it earned her ill will for jumping out ahead of the murder victims. There is no evidence that AE was extra fragile or unable to "adult," except that her attorney made her seem as such. But the harm to AE by her attorney has done Rex's defense huge favors. The public has been told in innuendo that a normal evidence search was inappro pirate on the part of LE. And the high-dollar production, which is enriching Macedonio (and potentially creating a conflict in his representation of AE) also happens to help Rex. It does all of the above, blaming/questioning LE, taking focus off the murder victims, but more slickly produced. This is to Rex's benefit, not AE.
These relationships between AE's attorney, Rex's defense, citing that LE may have it wrong because SinI wanted to arrest someone else? Sini? Commingling divorce and defense? DA expresses hostility to witnesses? it is sus, sus, sus. I really wish we had NYS or the Feds involved.
MOO
