New Developments in the Ryan Frederick Case
Ever since Ryan Frederick was charged with murder for killing a police officer who he mistook for a burglar during a botched drug raid, the case against him has become increasingly difficult to believe. Despite finding no evidence of cultivation, prosecutors are now claiming Frederick had been growing marijuana prior to the police raid and that he knew police were coming and planned the murder. It just doesnât make sense, particularly insofar as a suspect whoâs expecting police doesnât need to shoot them. If he wanted to escape, he could just leave before they came.
