Seems like they should subpoena him and hold him in contempt if he refuses to answer rather than just ask nicely and shrug when he doesn’t do what he’s supposed to
That and not having the lead detective testify really shouldn’t hurt your case that much if you have any actual evidence
But they have to play nicey nice if they want the
state funded street thugspolice to cooperate at all! If they were to make the police have to follow rules, the police will just let lawlessness reign!not having the lead detective testify really shouldn’t hurt your case that much if you have any actual evidence
You know who usually testifies to the jury about that evidence… the lead detective.
This asshole cop belongs in jail. If you’re going to cosplay as a civil servant fuck right off
Hope the victims’ families find a way to secure some form of justice here.
Trash fucking cop got ppl killed because of this for sure.
If the Circuit Attorney says that he’s on a list where he can’t be trusted to bring cases to court, then why is he still prosecuting criminals if the case will fall apart in court?
I don’t understand why he still allowed to operate as a detective.
Somebody didn’t read the article… (I only skimmed)
He’s retired, but the trials are still going on.
Skimmed as well and must’ve skipped the paragraph that had that sentence 😅
He’s been put back in uniform but cases take a while to get to court.
Murphey, who sees himself as a righteous renegade in St. Louis’ beleaguered law enforcement system, wishes other officers had taken similar stands against prosecutors like Gardner. But he said he understands why they haven’t. “They have wives, they have kids, they have tuition, medical bills,” he said. “But me — it’s just me and my wife, and my wife is like, ‘Go for it.’”
This is what it looks like when the real criminals are running the whole fucking system.

If your case is so shit that it falls apart without the testimony of one non-witness then maybe that’s just fine.
