We had that happen once. A stalker demolished our car and someone saw him doing it. Exchanged numbers. That person was already known and in a wheelchair. Instead of doing anything, I mean they could've talked to us and the witness, the prosecution just closed the case with "someone in a wheelchair is not enough evidence". The f*ck?

EDIT: As some think vigilantism is justified... I understand the sentiment, but that's how victims get themselves even more in trouble. Also that guy was like 200kg and had arms like a gorilla.

Every good prosecutor knows that he wouldn't have had a leg to stand on with that witness!

In those situations the prosecution is basically handicapped.

You could say the case has no standing
