What counterpoint am I making? I thought that it was perfectly obvious - that they had caught the previous person(s). I had not heard that they released them - I kind of quit paying attention once they made the arrests.
Innocent until proven guilty, etc.
Maybe this anecdote will convince you to pay attention in the future.
A couple was detained for 36 hours before being let go with no charges and an apology from the police.
Not sure if arresting innocent people is any kind of progress
