And a quote from the deadspin article related to the case:

A thorough investigation into the incident was conducted, plenty of corroborating evidence and testimony was collected, and then the case was mysteriously dropped by prosecutor Robert Rice for reasons nobody can seem to explain. The Colemans also claim that Daisy was mercilessly cyber-bullied by classmates, and that the unsupportive community in Maryville eventually drove them out of town. Now, local lawmakers are calling for the case to be re-opened.

Nothing surprises me anymore, I don't know why anybody else should be.

Life's all about connections. The more you have, the less you have to face consequences for your actions. This is especially true in a small town.

Not saying it's right (because it's not). But that just seems to be the way it is.
