This goes slightly back to one of my biggest fears, which is to be framed of a crime. And then to be dead and not be able to defend myself against the accusations, so that my family would be associated with that crime.
I am not arguing that the dad was wrong, assuming things really played out how they did. I am just not sure if it was investigated thoroughly enough.

Well you can't do much more than present to a grand jury, it's essentially a mini trial. I'm not sure how much more evidence could have been uncovered over time, it's not like this was a case where there was a lot of pieces to put together. At the end of the day the prosecution is going to present the best case it can, but if the evidence isn't there or the defense is strong enough there's very little else you can do.
