She suggests that the district attorney is obstructing the case against the suspect due to a personal grievance with the sheriff.

“And basically, from what I understand, she's dragging her feet because she's mad at the sheriff for arresting Chad to begin with.”

He believes that the New Mexico criminal justice system is excessively defendant-friendly and prioritizes the rights of the accused over those of the victims.

“on top of that we have an underfunded child protective services and then we have a criminal justice system that is very defendant friendly that considers the defendant's rights even at the expense of a victim's rights which is not right in my opinion”

She believes that the district attorney's office intentionally mishandled the case and caused the no bill for Chad Carr.

“it was my belief for whatever reason the district attorney's office intentionally caused this no bill for Chad to not be indicted.”

The prosecutor's office likely refuses to pursue the case because admitting the original autopsy error would threaten their reputation and potentially impact other legal cases.

“Just about everyone we spoke to for this episode feels that the prosecutor's office won't take this case because it would mean admitting that the original autopsy report from Dr. Howard was incorrect, which could call into question hundreds of other rulings.”

The decision not to correct an erroneous autopsy ruling solely to protect the integrity of past convictions is an injustice that undermines the purpose of the justice system.

“I mean, if you're missing stab wounds, like you would think Spokane County would want to, I don't know, take care of that. Yeah. But doing that unravels god knows how many convictions, which again, they might be convictions that are actually like needed.”
