Alleged Guilford abductor John Couplin has been arrested guess how many times in the past 5 years? Oh go on, guess. Hint: cutting deals with the state had him out over, and over, and over, over, and over, and over, over, and over, and over, over, and over, and over, over, and over, and over, over, and over again. And two more times besides. Of his most recent case, the SA's office says "the only evidence in the 2008 robbery was the victim's identification from a photo array." How much more would you need or expect to have from an armed street robbery? Haven't people been given the death penalty with as much?

It's like my iPod stuck on replay...
Geez, how many times have we heard this story before?

Hey look, gangland tours! If all we need are a couple of gang members, a few distressed neighborhoods and bus we could make some money just like they do in LA. $65 per x 40 =$2,600.00. We give Tavon, Davon and Travon from the BGF each $50 for 2 hours of work and then subtract the bus rental, et voila....profit.
It was always a dream of mine to hire the duck boats to take a tour ("hey, it's Shirley's Honey Hole! Quack six times real loud!") but alas, it is never to be.
Courts have been reluctant to convict based solely on witness identifications because they've been found to be unreliable. Burns called the police case "minimal."
"There was no evidence gathered from the crime scene that could link the suspect to the crime," Burns said.
Ok, so let me get this straight:
If I'm attacked, I go to the police and they take a report. They ask
"Who did it?"
I respond a black man wearing xxx of height xxx.
"Can you name him?"
"No, of course not. I don't hang out with hoodlums."
Oh, well, if you could name him, the State could issue a warrant."
"But I can identify him by sight."
"No, that's no good, but maybe if we had fingerprints, DNA,etc..."
"Yeah, but the crime lab never shows; at least, not for 24 hours."
"And even then, they have only a few print readers, so the evidence is all backlogged anyway..."
