What would a successful prosecution have looked like?

5. It has to pertain to the charges

he obviously wasn't a felon..was he ever convicted of anything? Could any of the charges been the result of racism too?

The prosecution didn't have a case..

I know of a man who I strongly believe killed 2 gay boys (17 years old), the police and prosecutors believe he killed them too...there are/were bodies, just no witnesses and no physical case...he walks free every day..and has for 10 years...it makes me sick..I also know a woman's husband who coincidentally was an abusive drunk, was found dead of a gun shot in an alley. The police think she did or hired the murder but they can't prove it. I interviewed her the next day and believe strongly she didn't do it. I believe that her relief that the torture this abuser had been handing out was over made some cop(s) believe she did it..

The same rule/law/rights changes which would have to occur to convict the first would likely also convict the latter...Some guilty go free so innocents aren't wrongly convicted..
