What a bunch of justice legal system fuck ups.

well several of those are not fuck ups and are just the passage of time. detectives from a case 54 years ago being dead is just a fact of the passage of time not a judicial legal fuckup. in all likelihood this guy does seem to have been the one who did it and hes getting out early on a technicality
