Typical Tuesday: Midnight Robbery...Four Knuckleheads...One Fatal Decision; When Nine Inches Isn't Enough
Manage episode 481408614 series 3571180
Four young adults with "not a complete thought that connects inside of their brains" make the fateful decision to rob their marijuana dealer rather than pay for the drugs they want. What follows is a textbook example of poor decisions compounding into tragedy at a local elementary school basketball court.
Detective Aaron takes us deep into the methodical police response that unfolded after a single gunshot shattered the summer night. From establishing perimeters and deploying K-9 units to tracking ground disturbance (not scents, as television would have you believe), we witness the systematic approach that led to apprehending all four suspects within minutes of the shooting. The investigation reveals disturbing details—including how one perpetrator returned to the crime scene to retrieve a blood-soaked bag of marijuana because they "still got to get high."
The case takes unexpected turns, particularly when cell phone triangulation and video evidence prove that one suspect couldn't have been at the scene as he claimed. In a demonstration of ethical policing, the detective gets this person's charges dismissed—only to later face a lawsuit from this same individual claiming false imprisonment. Perhaps most disheartening are the relatively light sentences handed down: 20 years for the shooter, 15 for an accomplice, and mere probation for the female who provided the murder weapon.
Like the parable of the scorpion and the frog that concludes the episode, some people's nature never changes—even when you've gone out of your way to help them. Subscribe to hear more firsthand accounts of the complex reality of detective work, where doing the right thing doesn't always protect you from those determined to work the system.
