The murderer's name is Carmen Ortiz. He died so she could "make her name" as a DA. Fucking piece of trash.

    Yeah, that's the big issue with the prosecutorial system. District attorneys are incentivized to secure convictions, not to seek the truth.

    In fact, especially in criminal law, the truth is often completely irrelevant. The system is designed more to "make an example" out of people rather than simply ensuring the law functions as it should. It's a flawed design and a pretty damning reflection of our society.
