Chapter 40 - Reworking The Case (p.147)-
Subject: Darker Than Night
Time didn't really permit [cold case investigation], not with his caseload and sheer size of his territory, but Bronco made time. He'd read all the reports from Schram and King and Maxwell and Hallock [previous cold case managers], and knew what everyone had to say, but wanted to hear it himself. So, he began reinterviewing as many people as he could.
Comment: How do you spell success? B-R-O-N-C-O. Why? Becaue he knew what everyone had to say, but WANTED TO HEAR OT HIMSELF. So he began REINTERVIEWING as many people as he could.
Chapter 91 - The Prosecution Rests (p. 324)
He [Bronco] outlined his efforts in the case, hoe he looked into scores of tips - credible or not- from thirty Michigan counties, ten states, and several provinces in Canada, and, from reading his and other officers' reports from over 18 years of the investigation, had compiled an alphabetical list of 820 names.
"All those tips were hunted down and exhausted," he said. "The standard that I used for the tips was the highest standard I could apply. I'd ask myself one question: If this was someone I loved, what would I do with this tip? And that was the standard question, and it was easy."
Donna Pendergast, the prosecuting attorney asked if he had recived tips from physics, people who had dreams, people who were mentally unstable. Bronco responded affirmatively.
Penergast asks, "Were those tips investigated none the less?"
Bronco responded, "To the very best of my ability."
Comment: So how many witnesses have been requestioned in say, oh, the last 27 years???
Chapter 92 - Asking For A Dismissal (p.330)
Judge Bergeron, when asked by the defense for a dismissal of the case as it was based on rumor and innuendo - no physical evidence. Bergeron's response:
We have no physical evidence this case. We don't have a body, blood, car parts, things like that. But we have lots of circumstantial evidence. . . It's my finding that there's evidence to support each of the elements of the crime of first-degree murder regarding each of the victims against each of the defendants.
Comment: It is possible to try and convict on circumstantial evidence. It's all there in the OCCK cases.....
