#1 When the witness or co-conspirator gets the Anwar al-Awlaki treatment, that phase of the investigation grows cold rather quickly.

#2 Coincedental how that happens. Three armed officers can't take into custody one unarmed suspect, who've they been talking to for over half an hour. And none of that "we're gonna go downtown and ask some questions" stuff. Right there in his apartment.

#3 Ruby Ridge Idaho, 1992:

FBI HRT sniper Lon Horiuchi was indicted for manslaughter in 1997 by the Boundary County, Idaho, prosecutor just before the statute of limitations for the crime of manslaughter expired, but the trial was removed to federal court and quickly dismissed on grounds of sovereign immunity.[68] The decision to dismiss the charges was reversed by an en banc panel of the Ninth Circuit, which held that enough uncertainty about the facts of the case existed for Horiuchi to stand trial on state manslaughter charges.[69] Ultimately, the then-sitting Boundary County Prosecutor, Brett Benson, who had defeated Woodbury in the 2000 election, decided to drop the charges because he felt it was unlikely the state could prove the case and too much time had passed. Yagman, the special prosecutor, responded that he "could not disagree more with this decision than I do."[70]
