Eagles' Michael Bennett incident: Here are the major holes in Houston's shaky indictment
[...]
NO ARREST IS MADE
Despite witnessing the alleged assault, a police officer at the scene does not to make an arrest and allows Bennett onto the field. [...]
Although Acevedo said he agreed with the decision to not arrest Bennett at the time, and that decision is the first of many questionable decisions by the Houston police department.
If Bennett assaulted three people, and the incident warranted an indictment, why wasn't he arrested at the scene? Or, after the postgame commotion, why wasn't he questioned while he was still at the stadium?
Bennett wasn't exactly hiding, as he even appeared on the set of the NFL Network's post game show.
NO VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT
A major hole in the police department's case against Bennett? They have no video evidence -- despite dozens of cameras, TV and surveillance, not to mention tens of thousands of camera phones in the stadium.
"There is no video at that location. No video captured that incident," Acevedo said, "but we had a police officer that witnessed it."
The admission that there was no urgency to question or arrest Bennett, and the lack of video evidence, will weaken the case against Bennett.
THE INVESTIGATION SITS
Following the alleged incident, the case sat for three months before it was assigned to the detective -- another questionable move. For three months, other cases piled up. ]...]
Allowing mold to grow on the case, however, is odd.
SEPTEMBER 17, 2017: THE INVESTIGATION BEGINS
Eight months after the initial incident, the detectives began to investigate.
"In September, we started actively working the case," Acevedo said.
At that time, Bennett was still with the Seattle Seahawks, who play three games in September -- in Seattle, Green Bay and Tennessee. He could be easily located if needed. [...]
NOTHING HAPPENS FOR FOUR MONTHS
Acevedo was vague on what happened after the departments' initial round of interviews.
According to the police timeline, it took four months from the last interview -- the meeting with the NRG stadium security manager in October -- to the warrant for Bennett's arrest was issued on March 23.
THE POLICE CHIEF GOES OFF ON BENNETT
Adding to the red flags surrounding the case? Acevedo's personal attacks on Bennett during the press conference. He slammed Bennett's character and went far beyond simply announcing the alleged details of the case.
"You are morally corrupt when you put your hands on a little old lady in a little wheelchair. That is morally corrupt. I mean morally bankrupt," Acevedo said. "He is morally bankrupt. There is no excuse for that. None. Zero." [...]
