My wife was listening to a presentation by a real detective to a murder mystery group a few years ago. Turns out the cops usually catch a break because most criminals are stupid.

Leftists WANT to be caught. They want their name in lights. This is what happens when a society values exposure over decency. It's more about name recognition than living a virtuous life in the shadows.

I was on a jury for the crime of home invasion. The criminal took the stand in his own defense. His attorney asked him to give his side so he started talking and then rambling. He was asked to limit his remarks to the night in question. So he started rambling about that, “we were riding around not doing much, we robbed a couple places.........ah no wait we didn’t.”

Exactly. If you've ever watched that show called "48 Hours", where they try to solve a murder within 48 hours, you'll see this in action. They learn that "Tyvon" has been murdered. It turns out that in most cases the police have almost zero evidence, but someone tell them they heard that "Deshawn" had an argument with "Tyvon" two hours before the murder, so they pick up "Deshawn", who they are familiar with because he has a rap sheet with 20-30 prior arrests. In the interview "Deshawn" confesses and the case is solved, but if "Deshawn had not confessed, a conviction would've been very hard to come by.
