Title. It seems like the police just chose a random person to have someone to prosecute.

How does "it" work, exactly? Should I work under the assumption that everyone who is accused of a crime is innocent?

Why lie about it? You really think with the infinite resources available to the gov that they couldn't figure out who shot a CEO on a busy NYC street in broad daylight?

You really think that the infinite (human) resources in the gov care about putting the effort to find the actual shooter, when they can just manipulate all media and make the scapegoat feel real?

Again, I ask:

Why lie about it?

When you have a hammer in hand, everything looks like a nail.

When selling a lie is the skill an org has put the most XP in, that's what they seek to do first.

Also, I see some group of competitors finding out that the guy had some plan to get on top and decided to off him first.

I don't think you understand this analogy. There is a nail. You're suggesting they're driving the nail into the wrong board on purpose for no reason.

Let's go by: Because they didn't learn to use a screw driver properly, they went with the hammer.

Also, alternatively, if the "competitor's job" assumption is correct, then of course they want to keep the actual actors out of the investigation and away from media.

Innocent until proven guilty is what the law is SUPPOSED to do. I personally think he did it, but shouldn't be punished.

No one asked about the law. They asked what I believe.
