First I've heard of this story. Too bad he has to go back to court. Don't know much about St. Clair Shores except that at one point it was supposed to have been a nice suburb of Detroit.
Yet poor O.J. Simpson is in jail.
Are they accusing him of ‘robbing a robber’ by removing evidence which should have been turned into the police, and not directly back to his daughter? If that’s the case, someone is trying to wreck his career by bring this to trial, when they could have just put a letter of reprimand in his employee file and done some retraining. Am I missing something?
I used to work over on that side of detroit. The only mistake that I see is that they left a perp alive to talk. The east side is carjack-murder for a car city. The rule in that area is: no cop, no stop, and shoot anyone who steps in front of your car.
I'm all for holding any officer to the exact same standard as a regular citizen. But this looks to be a case where charges are being piled up BECAUSE they were officers, and that I don't agree with.
As for the whole ‘I did it because my personal information was on there’ - hasn't iPhones had the same remote wipe features that Android phones have for quite some time? Wipe and lock the phone and report the location to local police to handle.
Oh, and of course, fire whatever DA decided to make a deal for a year sentence for a felon claiming his gun and drugs were stolen after committing armed robbery.
The “victims” of the second robbery stole that phone fair and square, in the first robbery. /lib logic
I grew up there. It was a nice suburb but it’s getting older and I think they are paying the price of being near Detroit.
