Mmmm, he wasn't actively involved with or investigating the case. In fact, it's not even close to his jurisdiction
As a "former prosecutor" I would suspect you would know better.
You haz a distinct troll smell, enjoy your stay.
I think RightwardHo's correct. Think Mark Furhman in the O.J. Simpson case. If the officer is white, this comment will be raised as a possible indicator of bias every time he has to testify in a case involving a minority defendant.
The officer found evidence (like Fuhrman)? The comment is raised as possible evidence he is biased and planted it. The officer testifies as to what he witnesses? The comment is raised as possible evidence he is biased and is exaggerating or lying.
This officer is a prosecutor's nightmare. Fuhrman's racial comments, made in North Carolina in the context of a movie script, came back to cast doubt on his finding evidence in the O.J. Simpson case in California.
RighwardHo nailed it.
He may be from California. Enough said.
