How is there no murder trial in Southpaw?
In the movie Southpaw, how is there no trial for the murder of Maureen? Given the presence of only a handful of people in the event and the bullet fragment/shell (and possible surveillance cameras), it would have been easy to investigate the murder and locate the killer. Why is the murder simply ignored, given it was a high profile killing?
Best Answer
In this deleted scene Billy Hope (Jake Gyllenhaal) talks to two police officers who are assigned to the case, they outline a few problems with evidence, meaning that they cannot find out who the killer is.
- As of the time they are working on the case (two weeks have passed) there is no video evidence of the shooting on cell phones or CCTV cameras
- There have been no eye witnesses to the shooting, including Billy himself who didn't see it, although claims Miguel Escobar's brother Hector was the one who did it.
- They say "No one is talking" and that they "Don't want to be involved"
For a trial to take place, the officers would have to gather evidence on one of the individuals and charge them. Because they have none, a trial would be out of the question. This explains why Miguel Escobar and his companions do not face any repercussions.
