There was no evidence that would/ should have convicted him " beyond a reasonable doubt". This is so shocking to me. I believe the actual perpetrator is someone in plain sight in the community, maybe even someone in a position of power or trust, police officer, store keeper, teacher, clergy, etc...how Jennifer schweigers body turned up after the area had already been searched and rand was already accused seems mighty convenient to me. Anyway, just my thoughts.

"Everyone knows he did it "?...I hope you're never on a jury if I'm falsely convicted of a crime. A perfect example of why our justice system is so screwed up. The police focus on one person based on their opinion of them and because they don't have the resources to defend themselves. Eyewitnesses accounts are the worst evidence they could have. And people assume that what comes out in the media is fact. The only people you hear from after a person is suspected of committing a crime are law enforcement officials. Public opinion puts a suspect behind the 8 ball long before he or she goes to trial and that shouldn't be the case. Putting this guy away with no physical evidence or an admission is law enforcements way of satisfying the citizens of Long Island not serving justice. Maybe he did what you seem to know he did but maybe isn't supposed to be enough in this country. The prosecutor seems so proud of putting this guy away but she may have very well let a child killer get away with these crimes. Maybe not, but maybe she did. All the police and prosecutors office wanted was a conviction because it means promotions, notoriety, satisfying the public, and putting more money in their pockets. Our money. You're entitled to your opinion of course, although saying everyone knows he did it kind of falls short.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00534405137402911948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072125047008275922.post-69586867004110430462016-02-12T05:52:26.361-08:002016-02-12T05:52:26.361-08:00Thanks for the perfect example of why our justice ...Thanks for the perfect example of why our justice system is unfair and prejudiced towards the poor and mentally ill.

What I found interesting is that he was not investigated for the crime. After all he located her based upon his finding some balls of clay. I dont know but what I understand is that the person who finds a victim is investigated as a possible perpetrator. <br /><br />I also found interesting the fact that some of the little girls they were missing had been missing for years. So why is it that at the time the girls went missing that "Cropsey" wasnt identified as having been near where they went missing.. Yes at the time they wouldnt have been able to ID him as the guy later on however, where is information that says they noticed anyone unusual being around way back when? None of them said Ya we told the cops way back when about some weird guy hanging about and NOW we know him to be Andre Rand. <br /><br />I would have to say that I would look at the parents and whoever "George" is that found Jennifer Schweiger as the bad guys. <br /><br />Nothing adds up to Rand being the bad guy in this story. And if 30 children had went missing why were only 5 mentioned as possible victims of "Cropsey" I think they cherry picked 5 little girls out of the 30 missing because those 5 had some sort of special needs that they could hook together as having been kidnapped by "Cropsey" and Hmmm interesting "Jennifer Schweiger" was killed? Died how? What were the autopsy results of her death? IF she were murdered then they could have brought in the Autopsy results to be used to convict him of MURDER.. why was he only convicted of Kidnapping? Why wasnt he convicted of Murder or even a lesser charge of having killed a person? <br /><br />I have to say there IS something fishy going on about this case. <br /><br />Have to say I cant say I believe him to be the culprit ... Its too bad the water is muddied too much to even determine guilt or not.Kiyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506897009770186481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1072125047008275922.post-86369957669390258442014-09-16T00:27:29.813-07:002014-09-16T00:27:29.813-07:00I think he got what he deserved.

This case also brings to mind times when there is abundant, concrete evidence and even though the person is convicted they receive 6 years in prison as opposed to this man, who with literally no evidence has been convicted and imprisoned for years upon years.mcassidayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15660215723174271242noreply@blogger.com
