Norfolk County Bill Keating does not seem to understand the fact that his office received information in the past few days that should trigger his duty to re-open an old homicide case. This is standard stuff. Old death cases are re-opened every day. A witness comes forward, DNA evidence tested, etc.
In the Bishop case evidence has recently surfaced that strongly suggests the victim was murdered. Why it has taken so long to indict is a side issue. But a murder is a murder is a murder. Without a statute of limitations. As a result the D.A. has an ethical obligation to re-open the homicide case. It really is a no brainier.
But not for Bill Keating. Here’s what he told Boston.com today
There are lessons to be learned from mistakes and clearly not charging on the three charges, and being put in a position now where we can’t even have a grand jury review those charges. Those mistakes are there,” Keating said. “It’s important to go forward so that the same mistakes can’t be repeated.”
Nobody has asked nor has he indicated he will be re-opening the case.
Jesus Christ. Do I have to everything around here? Why hasn’t the murder case been re-opened? When will a grand jury hear evidence? Why aren’t these so called journalists asking?
Delahunt didn’t have the facts. That’s why he didn’t indict. Bill Keating does. Will he knowingly let her get away with murder? He’s given no indication otherwise.
What’s the problem Bill?
