Why did Jack Vincennes set up the three men in the Nite Owl case?
In L.A. Confidential when Ed Exley seeks Jack's help for investigating further into the Nite Owl's case, Jack refused. Then Exley said:
Exley: Do you make the Negroes for the Nite Owl killings?
Jack: What?
Exley: It's a simple question...
Jack: Why in the world do you wanna go digging any deeper...into the Nite Owl killings, lieutenant?...
This makes me think that Jack already knew of what he did, like he intentionally set them up. Is it true that he knowingly did this? If so why would he do that ? He was not one of Dudley's men or could it be that he was paid by someone like Sid ?
