In reply to the discussion: What "due process" does not mean: [View all]EOTE
(13,409 posts)The next logical step would have been to wait him out. It would not have been long. Everything in that cabin was shut off, the walls were torn down and the human body cannot survive very long without water. And the whole thing about Dorner making his intentions clear? That's the whole reason we have due process. Don't get me wrong, I have VERY little doubt that Dorner wrote that manifesto or that he killed those people, but we have trials to determine those very things. What if the LAPD set him up? What if they knew they had a mentally unbalanced individual who had damaging information on them and they wanted him taken care of? We CAN'T declare someone guilty before a trial, THAT is what this is all about. I have far more than emotions here and you suggesting that I'm solely thinking with my emotions is more of that rancor and insults you seem to have a problem with. I think due process and the rule of law is of utmost importance.
