INNOCENT MAN HYPOTHESIS
Hypothesis = a hunch or a belief in who committed the crime—- all investigators do this
Ada Police hypotheseis = Ron and Dennis committed the crime
Was this a legitimate hypothesis initially = YES
Based on? 1. Rons previous arrest
2. The belief 2 people committed the crime
3. Rons rather questionable background —- drinking, violence etc.
Evaluate Hypothesis = should it have been rejected? YES
Why?
Based on the inadequate amount of evidence that never clearly rose too Probable Cause or Beyond a Reasonable Doubt.
When hypothesis is evaluated and rejected —- you then? Experiment with another hypothesis (Glen Gore).
Evidence was changed or altered, other evidence was ignored, and other suspects namely Glen Gore were never investigated properly even though the possible leads (witnesses at the bar) were always available.
Was the Ron and Denis pursued due to vindictiveness or incompetence?
Was ignoring other leads due to an intentional purpose to ignore this lead? Or incompetence?
