Why didn’t you just say that in the first place?

Why did I not say that to being with?

Well, considering that I was not defending the LDS sect, and that my complaint was with regards to how I worried that law enforcement was undermining the prosecution by using those buses.. it seemed to me that any logical person would realize that my concern was not that someone was being wrongfully prosecuted, but rather that I was worried that it may aid in guilty people not being convicted. When you hear me complaining that law enforcement did it in a way that might undermine the prosecution, how do you interpret that to mean I want the perpetrators to walk free? I think most people would reasonably think I was concerned about exactly the opposite. My putting forth a statement about how the defense could use this does not mean I agree with such a defense, but merely a statement about how they could use it and undermine justice. If I wanted the perpetrators to walk, I certainly would not be complaining about errors made by law enforcement which could help the perps get off. Far from complaining about it, I would be celebrating it.

If I had read such a concern stated by someone in the manner in which I stated it, I would have realized what the intent was... so I apologize for actually expecting other people to be logical in their reasoning.
