Bingo!!! Because the police don't always conduct a full &amp; fair investigation before arresting. How many times you heard the phrase &quot;rush to judgment&quot;?

I had a client arrested in 1990 for attempted murder of his estranged wife. He spent a week in jail without bond before they figured out the crazy lady shot herself in the chest with a shotgun, called the police and reported that he had just shot her!!!

I think there may also be some civil culpability on the police, depending on how well they checked this out. A week after the fact? How hard would this have been to check out? Totally inept.
