as much as I dislike the ruling (and i really do) - you can either decide that everyone is equal in front of the law or not. And when you go for the latter, you are where we were in Nazi Germany.
As tragic as every single case is (and once again - if it was my own kid, I would most certainly do not say this now), I find it fundamentally important that laws apply to everyone equally.
Let's just say the police THINKS they have the murderer but that person denies. He gets tortured until he either dies or finally admits something he did not do - then we're back in middle age. And that's not how I would want to live - because someday anyone can be this innocent person.
