look at Zahra Baker case...nobody charged with her murder yet. they are getting all their ducks in a row, including forensics, to make a strong case to take to trial and WIN at trial. you (prosecution) only get one bite at the apple.
everyone watches too many cop shows on TV. these things aren't solved in an hour. or even 72 hours. the main thing this case will hang on, in my opinion, is forensics, DNA, cell phone records. and all kinds of sloppy evidence i suspect was left at an unprofessional crime scene.
the main difference in the zahra case and this case, however, is that they have had a pretty good idea right from the start what happened there...and people in custody very soon after as well.
oh and that isn't one thing to hang on, that's like fifty.
