Here's what former homicide prosecutor ROBERT MATHIS had to say about the possibility of federal criminal investigation of SHERIFF DAVID BERNARD SHOAR's possible civil rights violations -- throwing down the gauntlet against the O'Connells on Easter Sunday morning!

Too true, Richard
It doesn't matter what the facts and evidence may prove, people like Clara have made up their minds what happened and nothing will even change their opinion. This was a terrible tragedy for all concerned, and none of us were there and know what actually transpired.

No federal jurisdiction
The FBI has no jurisdiction in a State homicide case unless it also involves a Federal offense such as a Civil Rights violation, so don't expect a Federal investigation. To answer your other post, I was part of the Homicide Investgation Unit that first reviewed the case, both from the Sherriff's investigation and the FDLE investigation, before we turned it over the the Fifth Circuit State Attorney for review.
