Actually, we have no evidence of anything. We have allegations that he shot three police officers, one of whom died after the amputation of his leg. The police may have evidence to back up their accusations, but they haven't made that information public as yet.
All the allegations come from the same source - the police agency that he embarrassed by escaping from jail with a can opener. These allegations may be correct, but it is also possible that someone else burglarized the gunstore, shot the officers and committed many of the more recent burglaries. It wouldn't be the first time a bunch of otherwise unrelated people decided on their own to get back at Big Brother while they had cover.
Frankly, I too believe he is responsible for most, if not all, of the crimes he is accused of, but I also remember other, slightly similar situations in which the accused was railroaded by police agencies who were "dissed" by their prey.
I'll take a 'wait and see' approach here, thank you.
Wait and see. I am with you.
Smart man.
This morning they are talking about having arrested 6 people who helped him. Guy has many more relatives, clan and tribe and apparantly confederation members obligated to do that ~ probably the reason they had over 1,000 cops in the area on the search.
Here in NC, quite a few years back, we had a guy escape from jail, and when recaptured some 24 hours later was charged with all sorts of things he was supposed to have done while running around loose. Turned out he had immediately broken into a local beer distributors warehouse and gotten totally, completely, falling-down passed-out drunk, and stayed that way all weekend. He couldn't even walk when they came to get him.
The judge had some really biting things to say about the local police attempting to clear all the backlog of unsolved crimes on the books.
