Suspect identified in murder of George H.W. Bush's former doctor
Houston Police announced Wednesday they had identified a suspect in the murder of a prominent cardiologist who once treated former President George H.W. Bush.

Police Chief Art Acevedo told reporters that an arrest warrant had been issued for 65-year-old Joseph James Pappas, who investigators believe shot and killed Dr. Mark Hausknecht as he rode his bicycle to work on the morning of July 20.

SNIP......

Investigators believe that Pappas held a grudge against Hausknecht after his mother died while the doctor was operating on her more than two decades earlier. Acevedo said that officers had searched Pappas' home Tuesday night and obtained additional evidence tying him to the murder.

"We believe that this absolutely is the killer," Acevedo said.
It would be nice if we would wait and see what evidence is presented before the court of public opinion crucifies him. It is quite possible that they merely found someone with enough motive for them to decide "he is our guy". If they go to his house and find additional evidence, then sure, but listed as a suspect does NOT equal guilty.

It would be great if we would hold out and not assume people are guilty until proven innocent. That trend is dangerous.... It has happened before where motive has been found and a suspect pursued without any actual evidence beyond the motive.


Also important to note, It seems I had a post very similar to this in this very thread that was completed deleted as far as I can tell. Gone from my listed posts. Maybe it never really posted, but I refreshed the page and it was present... If something I said needs to be moderated, then at least message me, otherwise it would be great to comment or discuss everyone's opinion. Silencing those we disagree with is a tactic of the left, and not a healthy one.
