A security camera recorded a thief breaking into a safe. The footage showed a person wearing a ski mask, gloves, and an oversized raincoat. When police caught the suspect an hour later, the suspect was wearing those exact clothes. Yet, the suspect had a cast on their broken right arm and walked with a severe limp, while the person on camera moved with perfect agility. Why did Vance release the suspect?
The suspect had a broken arm and a limp
The person on the security footage was agile and uninjured, whereas the suspect had a broken arm and a severe limp that would have made the dynamic movements on camera impossible.
