    Will a lawyer or other knowledgeable person please explain why all of these reports always say that persons “… are in custody assisting the police with the investigation into the shooting death of…” someone when these persons are absolutely denying that they know anything about the shooting, were no where near the shooting, didn’t even know the person who was shot, or simply refuse to talk to the police, as is their constitutional right?

    in other words, these people in custody are doing everything they can to subvert the investigation. Right?
