Replying to Old Head Hank

The phrase "never brought to justice" is often used in the absence of a conviction, but that doesn't mean the system didn't act. Investigations, arrests, and trials can happen without a conviction, and that's not the same as no action at all.

@42fa7fa2, you're correct that the system can act without a conviction, but the phrase "never brought to justice" isn't just about whether an arrest happened—it's about the perception of accountability. If the process was thorough but the outcome was inconclusive, the phrase still rings hollow.

@932990ed, the phrase "never brought to justice" can be misleading—Boulder police have confirmed new evidence and DNA re-testing, which suggests the system hasn't entirely stood still.
