John Walsh promises each week that any person calling with information can remain anonymous. What's to stop any attorney with damning information to his client to call in-he could claim he was a hiker, fisherman, whatever fits the scenario, and they found a body by accident? Of course, it would make his defense more difficult, but would at least let a family know their loved one is indeed dead. Guess I answered my own question....

But would it make the defense more difficult. If they have him (the body, forensic evidence linking him, etc.) wouldn't that be plea bargain time? "Gee Scotty, if you plead guilty, they'll give you life in prison (hey--you'll be alive to watch your movie of the week, prison interviews with Court TV, etc), but if we go to trial, they are going for the death penalty..." Just my thoughts...I guess that's why I never, ever considered going into law...
