Exactly... so if the detective is lets say pre- occupied w/ other cases and decides that rather than going out to personally interview a suspect they give them a ringle jingle on the phone and conduct the interview that way I highly doubt if he would ever get enough information for the DA to charge someone.

In theory, you would be correct.

I'm not saying the legal system isn't corrupt; power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

I, personally, don't know enough about this case one way or the other to make a decision as to the guilt or innocence of any parties involved.

Just spoke to the detective. He did go to the suspects house. He said another police officer had gone to your house. He spoke to additional witnesses along with the suspect. He gave me a description of the house. Long drive way. House to the left two car garage at the end. Sound familiar?

Reasonable proof that a crime occured with intent and malice.

In this case, proof that the man in question knew the girl was underage and therefore not able to legally consent (if it was "consensual"), proof that a sex act did in fact occur, etc.

Like I said, I don't know enough about the case to state specifically what type of evidence should be in place, however the above listed is pretty standard in sex crimes.

I don't know much about stuff like this. I don't understand how it can be proven that a sex act happened several monhts ago, unless someone was present when the sex act happened.

I'm having some trouble with some other stuff, too. Like, how can it be proven that the 'victim' was ever even alone with the suspect? If they were alone, then no one else saw it.

Maybe a confession?

And let me guess...None of our area's police have ever fished for a false confession, right smc? I hate delving into just HOW corrupt our system can be, but I have experienced it with close relations/kin and am just thankful I have never dealt with the :bs: first hand.

hehe...its funny when smc is caught in a lie :lol:

:high5:

Any progress on that complaint btw? Are they going to let you know if someone happens with it?

and honestly, I would remove that important information so that the detective can't BS his story when smc goes and runs to him with your information :lol: I'm taking it out of my quote :yay:

You are a cop basher. Did you read the earlier post where the information you were defending was wrong. Grow up son. I defend people because mis-information such as what the other poster wrote is often erronious. Such as this case. The detective described the alleged suspect's house and the alleged suspect.

Name a confession in Southern Maryland that was bogus? You can't because it doesn't happen. The confessions are taped. I don't know if there was a confession in this case, but I would say it's a pretty good bet there was!

I've not heard of a lot of people who confess to crimes before they have been charged. I'm asking what kind of evidence would have to be provided in order to bring charges against the suspect.

People confess to crimes they haven't been charged with every single day!!!

:rolleyes:

there wouldn't be much way of knowing a confession was fake unless it was known first hand whether the incident went down or not...correct? You can try your :bs: with the other people but I have seen enough of the system's corruption to know that there are not many instances they will just let someone go...a false confession is sometimes (should be rare, you'd hope) preferred to having an innocent man get away...when the evidence isn't there, that is their last hope at conviction :shrug:


on that note...I am NOT a cop basher, I am friends with a couple and there are others that are very nice guys (and gals)...I simply call it as I see it with corrupt :bs:

I don't believe you, and the article says "Detectives say they arrested Strandberg after learning of an inappropriate relationship he allegedly had with a 16-year-old female student." It doesn't say "arrested after the suspect confessed". I'm not finding you very credible.

I have had minors that I'm legally responsible for over to my residence, because during the summer they wanted to work on their hours for their learners permit / license. If a female came over I ensured that there was a group involved and never alone. There are ways to have working professional relationships with students and never put yourself in a compromising position.

:yay: Witnesses are your best protection. Too bad the drum coach doesn't seem to have any that can exonerate him.
