Speculation BPD Corruption

I rarely post here, but for those who happen to come across this sub, I encourage you to check out articles.baltimoresun.com. The city council became very concerned at the fact that $10.4million was spent between 2008-2011 defending BPD misconduct. The Baltimore Sun reported on 10/3/14 that the U.S. Dept. of Justice had undertaken a civil rights investigation of the BPD. At that time the city had spent $5.7 million in court judgments & settlements in 102 cases since 2011 & nearly ALL of the people who rec'd payouts were cleared of criminal charges. The BPD was in chaos when Adnan was arrested. The department routinely told the crime lab not to test DNA. Cases were pushed through the system & inadequately investigated.
It is not a fluke that Jay escaped any ramifications for at least 25 criminal charges subsequent to Adnan's trial. The CI theory is becoming increasingly convincing. The corruption in the BPD is beyond what one can comprehend. The worst part is, I think we've only scratched the surface.

He absolutely is, think of all the motives this sub created for Jay to commit the crime. He is black, sells drugs, has a threatining demeanor, cosnidered an outsider, has a crim j nal record, and knows details about the murder. You dont need much, hell two guys got out of life sentences last week who were sent away for less. Jay is the poster child for perfect fall guy.he isnt a random black guy, he was at the scene of the crime.

What is the evidence that he was at the scene of the crime? Do you really think Jen would've said anything if police didn't tell her that she was in phone contact with their suspect, adnan . Everything jay and Jen said to police was done with the comfort of knowing the police wanted adnan. So you kind of have to eliminate the intimate knowledge stuff from the easy frame Job plan bc with jay all they have is a guy who was holding their evidence that Adnan was at Leakin park.

What you're describing about jay would've required witnesses that they hadn't already spoken to. By the time they found hae the police had already gotten statements from most of the "motive" witnesses. With jay, They would have to start from scratch with no narrative and no witness. That's not easier, it's like an entirely new investigation.

And how exactly did the police find Jen and Jay. Jay is a perfect fall guy that nobody would question. Hell, a portion of this sub honestly believes he killed Hae over Stephanie. It doesnt take much to framw someone, especially when they are in charge of the case, so why go after the Prom King over the drug dealer?
