Wilson was allowed to leave the scene with his patrol car? This would be an important point. The patrol car was part of the crime scene and if he was allowed to leave the area, by himself and before the car had been processed for evidence, there would been a break in the chain of custody regarding any evidence purported to have been found in connection with the car. Under those circumstances you could claim more reasonable doubt on the credibility of any evidence linked to the car and as such, the evidence should never be allowed to be presented in court (either GJ hearing or criminal case). If the police on the scene did allow Wilson to leave with the car before it was processed for evidence that would be, at minimum, gross incompetence and dereliction of duty, and at the worst, potentially make them complicit with what happened after the fact.
