That’s pretty huge, isn’t it? The lead detective exposed as leaking manipulated evidence to the media before the trial?
Isn’t that pretty much grounds for a mistrial, or at the very minimum a change of venue?
That was long overdue. The latest round of prosecution releases sealed his fate.
This may be a big deal but it is possible that there is another reason. It is routine in Miami-Dade Co( I know that Sanford isn’t Miami-Dade but all of FL law enforcement seems to follow a similar blueprint) for detectives to go back to patrol in order qualify for a promotion to SGT. I don’t get it. But apparently it is some sort of bizzaro government world requirement. If this guy is up for promotion, it puts us into a whole different bizzaro world situation.
