The case involved the discovery of four #murdered women in Atlantic City. Leonard believed his client was #innocent based on initial impressions. #Witness testimonies played a crucial role in shaping the investigation. The 'River Man' emerged as a potential #suspect in the case. Leonard's client was never formally charged with any #crime. The prosecutor's office had a divided opinion on the case. Leonard held a press conference to clear his client's name. The case remains #unsolved nearly 20 years later. There is ongoing interest from #law enforcement to solve the case. Confessions can often be misleading and require thorough investigation. The discovery of #bodies can reveal critical information about the timeline of events. Circumstantial #evidence plays a significant role in murder investigations. #DNA evidence can be compromised, affecting the investigation's outcome. Victims' backgrounds and lifestyles can influence public perception and #investigation focus. Modern technology significantly aids in solving #crimes compared to past methods. The passage of time complicates cold cases, making it harder to gather evidence. Law enforcement's approach to marginalized #victims can impact case resolution. Ongoing investigations require collaboration between defense attorneys and law enforcement. There is hope for #justice, but it requires persistent effort and advancements in technology.
