I think we should be focusing law enforcement on current threats, and triaging. One can't go after everyone, and I'd like to see police focus on highly dangerous criminals first. The more likely a criminal is to have numerous victims, especially currently, the higher a priority he or she should be. You didn't need to make this personal, you could have just talked about the idea. So, you seem to be espousing the idea that we waste as much money as we need to to investigate all "potential" murders, no matter how tenuous the evidence, and no matter what the current danger to the population. Am I hearing you correctly?

Even if Michael Schiavo did murder his wife, and that is really a stretch from what we know, it would have obviously been a crime of passion. Crimes of passion are not premeditated and thus do not qualify for first degree murder convictions. People who commit crimes of passion are not serial murderers, either. They really are of limited danger to society as a whole, so I think you could rest comfortably even if Ionesco was in charge of your little town . . .
