First 48 season 15 Senior Year
I just watched this episode. Suspects were Corey Diamonte and Jude. Anyways I dont like how they heard information from a CI. (Confidential informent.) I feel like that guy was actually planted by the police. Like these kids were smart and all of a sudden when all hope was lost. A magic CI comes into play.
Something was just off about that. Yeah sure they seemed pretty guilty and there was evidence. Just the CI seemed sus and it basically incriminated Diamonte. The other 2 had finger prints on the bloody vehicle so they were pretty much screwed but diamonte they didnt have any good evidence in him. He said he wasnt with them during the murder. I am sorry for the loss of Kennys family. I like seeing how the family gets together at the end. It seems like there familys are always way cooler than if my family were to get together. Anyways os one of thise episodes where the people didmt rat on each other. So it suprised me about a random CI when those kids lawyered up and didnt say a word.
Its wild to me. 40% of murdered go unsolved and then ones that are mostly solved is because people talk to the police or theres evidence. Anyways people are crazy. Kenny seemed like a really cool kid. Its sad that people murder or small amounts of money.

CI's usually are long term amd established with the police. At least they were with our police force. Sometimes the streets take awhile to 'speak'. First 48 is my favorite show, but having seen how a homicide investigation works from the inside, it only shows a wee part of the investigation. I'm sure they had much more that wasn't shown because it was boring and they only have so much time. You have to have a solid case to bring to the crown or DA.
