That leads one to believe that this may not have been the work of one homeowner, but quite possibly four. Otherwise why would the wood be stacked there? If someone stacks wood on my property without my consent or knowledge, then I'm going to ask questions, and/or object. If I don't ask questions or object, then that leads one to suspect me.
(3) Ask each of the gang of four the question, "Why is the wood on your property?" Don't accept the answer of "I don't know." If I discover cocaine on your property or a stolen Corvette in your garage, would I accept your response that you don't know why it is there? Is that wood from those trees, that belonged to the VCCD, not stolen property, and is that not a crime? Why do you have it?
(4) Charge someone with something and press it hard, and offer to plea bargain for information and this little conspiracy will unravel like a sweater when you pull a loose yarn. These people aren't going to jail. They are just going to have to pony up the money to pay the costs for their stupid and inconsiderate actions, and suffer the public embarassment for what they did, as well they should.
I've never spent one day in law enforcement or criminal investigation, and I've never watched NCIS.  , (I'm a "Law and Order" guy) so maybe I'm being naive, but I'm thinking somebody is dropping the ball on this, and that costs us all. And furthermore, I'm wondering why! |
I think your post makes good sense and agree completely. Is it possible that a real investigation never took place? Has Sumter sheriff ever made findings public or is it more convenient to continue to say the investigation continues and specifics can't be made public? Did TV think 50k wasn't worth the hassle...just pay it and be done and everyone would forget about it? Mystifying.
