In the hope that this will go bug someone else instead of me:
Unsolved murder case reopened after X years.
Previous investigators had given up due to "insufficient evidence" or similar but new investigators believe they were hiding/protecting someone.
New investigators solve the case but decide not to arrest murderer, for the same reasons the previous team had.
Which are?
Requirements that murderer had actually & deliberately murdered, not manslaghter etc. & there was/is sufficient evidence.
