They should charge the informant with murder or manslaughter. Simple is that you give bad information you pay the piper.

I would think that “Steven” could be held responsible for the officer’s death. After all, he is the reason that cops raided Ryan’s house in the first place. If prosecutor’s can, and do, charge women for making a false rape claim, why can’t they charge this guy with felony murder for making a false claim that resulted in a police officer’s death? It seems much more likely to get a conviction than charging Ryan Fredericks!

Everyone kind of figured this wasn’t based on much but to find out it was based on absolutely nothing but the word of this guy is incredible. Not only should the PD be liable but lets not forget the judge that signed his name on a warrant based on nothing.

I imagine the Chesapeake area isnt too safe of a place for “Steven” after that little stunt.

As long as “Steven” stays a fugitive, it weakens the prosecutions’ case. Judges tend to look less kindly on hearsay evidence–they want the witness in court to corroborate his/her testimony. So the prosecution will probably offer ‘Steven’ some kind of ‘olly, olly in free’ deal if he comes out of hiding. Let’s hope he doesn’t.

Compelling, yes. Chance of success, not so much, I am afraid.
