How do we KNOW the bad twin died? Maybe he killed the good twin?

As soon as they verified he wasn't the dead twin, they let him go.

Procedures that result in any abridgment of an innocent person's liberty are flawed and lawsuits incentivize improved procedures.

How is arresting someone with a different name proper police procedure? Warrant was for a Michael, guy arrested is a Mitchell. Seems pretty basic, especially from a legal standpoint.

I hate LE shenanigans as much as the next guy, but THIS. His beef is with his dead brother, not the cops. So he should find a lawyer who is skilled with a Ouija board, or just get over it.

If they would've trusted me, if they would've given me the benefit of the doubt, if they would've done that, none of this would've happened," Mitch Torbett says.

LOL, that's not how it works, son.
