    Hopefully dude never gets caught (Which he probably won’t as it’s now been greater than 48 hours, and we all know what that means if you’ve seen The First 48)

    But if he does, it’s going to be awfully hard putting together a jury that hasn’t heard of JURY NULLIFICATION

      48 hours is only for regular cases with one or two cops assigned. High profile stuff like this gets considerably more attention and resources for a longer period of time

      First 48 is about finding a victim alive. Murderers are commonly identified and caught outside that window.

      At this point, I don’t even think they want to catch him anymore. He’s already being talked about as hero, throwing him in jail would make him a martyr. People would protest at the trial too, it would be a mess.

        Exactly. There’s no way they’ll allow him to speak his mind or allow the people to rally in his support in a huge trial. They find him, he’s dead. The “how” they’ll figure it out. Happy cop trigger, killed while trying to escape, heart attack, attacked by a bear, hit by meteorite. They’ll come up with something, mark my words.
