This guy has dreads

Good observation.

Question is: did he have dreads on the night of the video? I've seen the photos that someone gave the media showing him in dreads. How old is that pic? Was it a Facebook pic that the media grabbed?

I think you might try finding out whether he HAS dreads or how recently he had them. You might be on to a clue.

Yeah, the police have made abundantly clear that they believe he is a career rapist who started at age 14 and also murdered two other women...

When did they say this?

Never, my post was dripping with sarcasm but I guess I should have added this too

Only 1 at Liberty... so far. You can roll your eye all you want but this dude is a serial rapist.

A PP here. I think that a lot of people (White people) in this thread are missing the point that some PP's are trying to make. I do not think that any of us can say definitively whether he is innocent or guilty based on what the police have released so far. What people are trying to say is that his flight is not evidence of guilt to them. In other words, folks are rebutting the whole "innocent people don't flee" premise. What we are saying is that, under certain circumstances, innocent people do flee and we need more facts to say he is absolutely without a doubt guilty.

More than anything, I want peace and closure for HER family.

No I understand it exactly but not the vehemence with which it is constantly repeated as if he should be the object of sympathy. And I'll add, the stranger last seen with the missing girl is almost always her killer, so while there is some chance that he may not have done it, it is not as if police are acting irrationally here.

Agreed. This whole "poor black man, felt like society wouldn't treat him fairly so he ran" - BULL. No one is denying that blacks can get treated worse than whites in our justice system. But the majority of people arrested for a crime committed it. And if he were white and the last one seen with her, and ran, the manhunt would have been just as publicized etc.

It doesn't take a lot to meet the probable cause evidence test to be able to charge someone. They charged him with that so that they would be able to arrest him and then have him held without bond. The reckless driving charges would not have been enough to keep him held with no bond.

I hope all the people who are assuming he is guilty have to come face to face with the justice system one day and then suddenly remember that in this country we are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN GUILTY, and not the other way around.

True, but his ACTIONS lead many to believe that he is guilty of something. Why run if you have nothing to hide?

Because the police think you are a (serial) murderer. You guys have already decided he's guilty. He probably thinks he has no chance if he didn't do it.

OMG seriously? He looks guilty bc he didn't come forward initially and he ran. If he hadn't done those things, he'd have much more of a chance in the court of public opinion. Why is that so hard to understand?

Another PP here. It is not hard to understand at all - that's why were attemtping to give folks a different perspective based on our own knowledge and experience. In my experience, killers do not head to the police station first off. But whatever - my opinion of his guilt or innocence is as worhtless as a wooden nickel. I just do not buy into the whole notion of someone "looking guilty." Because that notion has gotten people uneccesarily killed. They have him in custody and hopefully we will all have answers soon. But all this amatur sleuthing and prosecuting is for the birds.
