He did it. Watch his behavior whilst he's free.
Knowingly withholding evidence that could have not convicted him is a crime in itself.
Jay Wilds should be arrrested for lying
He never do anything locked him up
Jay wilds should be thoroughly investigated. He told the police he assisted adnan burying the victim. Interesting to hear if indeed he lied, his motive of doing so.
He was big drug dealer in jessup prison guards were smuggling them in.
Guilty…
Im sure he killed her
If you watch the HBO documentary you’ll see the Baltimore court footage from 1999 that is NOT available to the public. You’ll see the faces of this person.
William Ritz
DESCRIPTION: Secondary/co-lead detective in Hae Min Lee homicide case
ALT. NAMES OR MISSPELLINGS: Bill, Litz
JOB TITLE: Homicide Detective
EMPLOYER: Baltimore City Police Department – BPD
TESTIMONY: Trial 2
FURTHER INFORMATION:
Bill Ritz became the secondary detective investigating Hae Min Lee’s murder soon after the case began, replacing Gordon Carew, but towards the end of the investigation his name and his handwriting both feature more prominently in the police records then the primary, Greg MacGillivary. He was known as a keen golfer. At the time of the investigation he lived in Phoenix, Baltimore County, 20 miles north of the city, but just a third of a mile from Jenn P’s attorney, James Fowley.
Ritz also worked the case of Ezra Mable, who was exonerated of murder after 10 years, and the case of Sabein Burgess exonerated of murder after nineteen years in prison, where he withheld an interview of another man confessing to the murder, and was the lead detective in the case of Malcolm Jabbar Bryant, also wrongly convicted of murder and exonerated after seventeen years (including many years of appeals for DNA testing (which was fought tooth and nail by the State). In another case, appealled in 2002, judges noted that “Detective Ritz candidly acknowledged that he intentionally withheld the reading of the Miranda warnings during the first 90-minute stage of the interrogation”.
Ritz left the BPD in 2012 “under a cloud”, after being named in Burgess’s lawsuit. He is not named in the BPD alumni website roll of honor for retired officers. (h/t to Tim Dragga, Susan Simpson and Hart2hart616 amongst others)
PEOPLE GROUP:
Police/LEO,
Many people had a hand behind sending an innocent young man to prison for the rest of his life but this man right here was the root of all the injustice in this case and where the Brady violation and withholding of evidence originated.
I remember that podcast and I don’t remember coming away thinking oh he didn’t do it. If anything I kinda thought he did. That said we know how some Baltimore cops are or were so who knows
Ok OJ.
Guilty as sin.
Man, this makes me wanna go back and listen to the zero podcast
He’s a murderer tho
But he killed her though…
Finally! I don’t think he did it
I'm so on the fence on this case I know the prosecutor was. Dirty but on the other hand some of the evidence was pretty compelling
He was released on a technicality not because he is innocent. He isn’t.
About time. I didn't think it would ever happen though.
