“Sure, he doesn’t _look_ like any photos or witness descriptions, but with a little computer magic, we can see without a shadow of a doubt that Mr. Allen is secretly Dr. Josef Mengele, the Angel Of Death of the SS, thought to have drowned off the coast of Brazil in 1979.”
When the prosecutor was asked he said he could have been wearing makeup when he committed the robbery that’s how they justified it.
A LOT of suspects are arrested after they “didn’t fit the” description. Once they have one person in custody they don’t look any further.
That’s fucked
Police doing what they do best – find a suspect then make the facts fit.
That’s illegal, right? It feels akin to planting evidence or falsifying evidence although a bit different. The police were punished, right?
LOL that they thought there was nothing wrong with taking this approach, *and* that they continue to defend it. SMH.
Yes, this will be a permanent part of the playbook in about 2 months.
I guess the cops brains didn’t process that he would have facial tattoos in court
Police corruption in the US happens so much that it’s normalized in American culture
And Trump wants to give police complete and total immunity.
“Hmm, this guy doesn’t look like the guy we are looking for, let’s just digitally alter his appearance and say it’s him.”
Is this for real? Is this the mind set of the police ? That they can do that without anything happening to them?
If his lawyer was smart they would get him off on an evidence tampering.
That’s just psychotic. Sociopathic at least
Is it not possible that Tyrone had gotten the tattoos after the robberies?
Guilty or not, do not talk to the police without a lawyer. They may tell you that you are not a suspect- but they somehow, are allowed to lie about this.
If they reckon you did it, they go into ‘make the evidence fit’ mode. Lawyers know this and will steer you clear of saying the wrong thing.
Given that he was actually guilty, this is is more about how unreliable eyewitness testimony is rather than police conduct.
Prosecutor: ” he must have gotten the face tattoos after the robbery”…probably, while arguing with defense counsel about how good their case is.
I once went along to the interview of a suspect in a forgery case. Police had a photo of a man in a bunch of forged passports and a photo of my guy. They very obviously didn’t match. However, the copper had photocopied the photo of my guy (for a legitimate reason) and now they looked alike. I had to point out to him that you can’t just change the photo and decide it now shows the same person!! lol
That’s some mighty fine police work, Lou
Idk if this is facepalm man this is more straight up evil
I honestly can’t see the logic behind this.
It would never hold up to the slightest bit of scrutiny in court. Just asking for your case to fall apart.
This is an Academy Award winning documentary about how lazy cops are and how they will make anyone arrested fit the crime. From my home state of Florida.

“Officers Kill Man With No Active Warrants at Wrong House”
If the suspect was credibly linked to the bank robberies, by fingerprints, DNA, possession of marked bills, etc. and could be linked to make-up purchases that would support that he had covered up the tats. Then digitally removing the tats, for a line-up, wouldn’t be out of the question.
There was a case where the bank robber wore a mask, but the bank video clearly showed him in jeans, that were torn at several different places. The suspect was captured, and a pair of his blue jeans had exactly the same damage as the ones in the video.
That is absolutely terrible.
Uh ok but he really does look like him lol.
Yeah I know the tattoos etc etc. but dang they look alike if it wasn’t for that ink idk man.
Dude that’s so corrupt.
Police State
Modern problems require modern solutions.
Look *theoretically* he could’ve gotten those after said bank robbery (but yes I know that’s ridiculous and probably easily falsifiable)
Typical.
Pleading guilty via a plea deal almost guarantees you aren’t gambling w your life. I always think of the case of a woman that conspired along with her then husband and his associates to murder her ex. She thought it would be impossible to convict her w/o physical evidence, the state relied on the testimonies of her codefenents. She turned down a 3 yr plea deal, and was proscuted then sentenced to 7 yrs. Like her lawyer said, she gambled with her life.
