"Because if someone is ever arrested in the Smart case and that person goes to a trial by jury, the evidence against the defendent will be presented and not the whole investigation of who they looked at and disgarded as suspects.

Are you saying that defense attorneys should only have the right to point out what police departments/prosecutors have already chosen to present to a jury? That's friggin' scary, sorry. And tell your story to Richard Jewell & the poor junkie MSNBC all but electrocuted for the Smart crime, while you're at it.

No, that's not what I'm saying. The judge will determine what evidence is relevant to the case. If a judge allows a defense team to show the police and prosecution engaged in a "rush to judgement" I say more power to them and let the jury decide. (Perhaps you "rushed to judgement on my comment")
