    It’s a small town. He’s probably buddies with all the cops and DAs. That shit is super common.

      Lots of countries have small towns, where that doesn’t mean it’s fine to shoot a daughter. It’s an international scandal now, so it’s not like they managed to keep it quiet. Everyone, everywhere, can see the disfunction.

        It’s not like it matters. Being international news isn’t going to suddenly make the good ol boys do the right thing.

          But the folks above those good ol boys suddenly have a spot light on them, so feel pressured to do the right thing. They get ask by those above them why are they failing.

          Lots of eyes actually do have a way of getting these kinds of cases.the attention they need; remember Ahmaud Arbery? Good ol’ boys walked away uncharged until a local news report went viral 2 months later.
