    REGARDING:
    “They are innocent! They should be looking for the real criminals for this crime. They shouldn’t have to suffer for someone else’s crime.”

    Get them released by giving the justice system the proof you have of their innocence and/or the REAL shooters.
    As long as they think they have the real criminals, they would be silly to keep looking elsewhere.

    David for justice

    Are the folks planning our new jail going to make it with enough cells & beds to take care of our “suspects” and inmates?
