Because the family had to make them get them, the moment they did it
changed the whole nature of this from just the parents being concerned
to others looking into the whole investigation.

It should have changed their whole response to the investigation
rather than just doing the bare minimum to make it go away.

It speaks of the lack of investigation by the police to consider this.
They have simply accepted his statement and gone no further.

So what do you think the police were doing when they shut down the
investigation after a day, let the man go with his gun licence, passed
it to prosecutors with recommendation no action be taken?
Why had they not talked to the only eye witness till now?

It is going to a grand jury now, it took 1 month for anybody to take
notice of anything, because only then did the parents obtain the 911
tapes and were able to show that no investigation had been undertaken
and the lies told on the day were just that, lies.
I do not know of any police officer who would close a case before
talking to the one and only in dependant eye witness. So why did it
happen here? This is clearly why the police themselves are also being
investigated.
