Fake Auburn murder suspect twitter account could lead to arrest.

It may not be "a joke", but it sure as hell shouldn't be a crime.
Hindering prosecution mah arse... crude (even rude) humor is NOT illegal.

Why do so many people have to challenge everything? Just use some fricking common sense and stay the frick out of the investigation. It isn't that difficult.

I'm aware we reside in America. I'm just stating, there are consequences for actions. Your hero, pretending to be an on the run murderer isn't all that funny and what he's doing is causing law enforcement to use resources where they could be used elsewhere. Try to grow up a little and use some common sense.

That is true.
Also, if some guys didn't beat up a skinny guy, we wouldn't be having this discussion. Works both ways

Maybe they'll use this:
Section 13A-10-42 - Hindering prosecution or apprehension - Definition of "criminal assistance."
For the purposes of Sections 13A-10-43 through 13A-10- 45, a person renders "criminal assistance" to another if he:
(4) Prevents or obstructs, by means of force, deception or intimidation, anyone except a trespasser from performing an act that might aid in the discovery or apprehension of such person;
Purporting to be the suspect inadvertantly renders assistance, by diverting resources in the investigation.
I get some of you think it was lulz and funny. But really, it's not. There's a triple murderer that hasn't been apprehended, and pretending to be him, just isn't really funny at this point. Maybe when he's sitting in jail or convicted. But not no
What isn't funny is the police looking at Twitter feeds to try and find the guy. Just stay the hell away from it. Check his phone records, his email. The police were idiots for ever looking at it to begin with. No charges will ever be brought about this. What if 100 other people post fake twiiter accounts? Who cares? That argument doesn't fly...the cops shouldn't even be looking at them.

Fully agree.Thinking before you act goes both ways.

Ask yourself this question though, did this person deliberately try to hinder the police's investigation?
I have no clue what his intentions are and neither do you. Seems to me that person intentionally tried to interject themselves into the story by going on a public forum and pretending to be a suspect.

Me use common sense? You can't be serious. You've spent the last couple of pages clearly advocating that the burden of proof lies with the defendant. I called you out on it.
And you're a moron if you think the guy is my hero. Just because I called you out about your idiocy, you think the guy is my hero? Are you really that stupid?

Are you serious with this? You said he started a fight, got beat up, left and came back and shot six people. Goes both ways?

Ok Detective. What leads should they follow? What reports to them shouldn't be checked out? A triple murder suspect is on the loose, 2 days head start. What should their next move be? It's clear you've run investigations and know what should be easily dismissed, because it's simply amusing and funny to you.

No...the cops were smart to check twitter because you never know what might turn up. However, I have know doubt that the investigators in the case no pretty much everything about this character by now. They know how he writes, they know how he talks, they know how he thinks. I'm willing to bet my life that Leonard's spelling and grammar skills aren't as good as what we saw on twitter last night. If the cops fell for this person's (obvious) prank then that is their fault. But...I'm pretty sure the cops didn't fall for it. I think this is just the mayor's attempt at finding a scapegoat for his antics last night.

I said he started a fight?
Hmmmmmm
And I'm not defending his actions AT ALL. I hope he turns himself in and justice is served

Well, they had no clue the account was a joke at the time when someone probably said to an investigator "We're hearing rumors that Desmonte is twittering from the attic." Can't blame them for following up on that since even the anchor was talking about the rumor.

You're assuming all kinds of things on the burden of proof. You have no idea who the guy is or why he did the tweets. You've gone balls to the walls in defense of him, simply because you thought he was funny. The guy hindered the investigation, causing resources to be devoted to checking him out. He made a stupid mistake and he's solely to blame for his actions. Grow up.

You'd be surprised how many criminals are captured via social media and similar avenues. Although this was clearly humorous, they do need check all leads. Their problem was going too far with clearly less than credible leads.
My feelling is the da used this statement as a warning to get him to stop tweeting and making light of a tragic situation by putting a fear of punishment out there.
Posted on 6/12/12 at 8:07 pm to GonzoLeslie
You said he left and came back either way. Seeing as how he was from Montgomery, he probably wasn't invited and sounds like he was there about a girl
Leaving and coming back is all that matters really.
