Stephanie is the sister?

Yeah, that was quite a turn at the end. Rough.

sumi, yes.

I'm worried that Stephanie's character is now being used merely for stand-alone jokes/lines. Didn't feel as this week's ep did any good to her, character development-wise.

I don't really see the point of her being there, unless it's for another obstacle that Hank needs to overcome, or maybe as "exposition girl" since she has mental issues and can be excused for saying whatever.

Also, why has Hank not called the hospital?

Maybe he doesn't like the hospital.

She's there to know that the soil report is bs. Other than that, we'll see.

I vaguely remember Hank saying something about contacting the hospital when she first showed up, that she had been there voluntarily? Something about she wouldn't take her meds there but she would if he let her stay in his attic. I might be making that up.

Minor point: as a non-lawyer, I'm pretty sure than Lindus's death was legally homicide of some sort. If you kidnap someone and they die trying to escape, I'm pretty sure you are legally responsible for the death. Especially if they die while you are trying to recapture them.

yes, technically it's felony murder. If someone dies during the commission of a felony, then the perpetrators of said felony can be charged with felony murder, even if the perpetrators had nothing to do with the death, or the death was an accident (i.e. a victim has a heart attack and dies during a robbery)

The question is whether they were really kidnapping him. Yes, they were taking him against his will, but he was trying to flee the jurisdiction at the time. I think that an argument could be made that it was not a kidnapping, but a citizen's arrest.

Now, it's not a good argument, but it can be made.

But once you take the kidnap victim to your home rather than a police station, doesn't "citizen's arrest" move from bad argument to argument the judge won't let you present to the jury?

yes, but an argument could be made that the injury changed things. Like I said, they're boned, but arguments could be made.

yes, technically it's felony murder.

Which is why it wigs me that we've got former San Diego cops technically murdering. I am trying to get repress it, honestly.

Still, apart from historical bad things, even I can't really see how they didn't take an obviously injured man in for medical attention. That? That is some willfully ignorance there and creeps it closer to something murderous for me. Guess it shows how far they are willing to go.

I still really like the show, but these are not really awesome people.

And they don't eat taquitos. That might be just a me thing though.
