They don't mess around with accusations and charges, they only get one shot at it.

My guess is that most cases of wrongful conviction also started with the police being convinced they had evidence to convict. I'm not trying to defend whoever did this crime but I'm seeing a whole lot of "innocent until proven guilty, except in this case we know it's him" sentiment in this thread which is disturbing.
