I wasn't around when the Bishop shooting happened, but in fairness to Delahunt, it sounds like the police botched that investigation from the outset.
There isn't a lot that a DA can do to salvage a botched investigation, as they have to turn over every piece of paper prepared by every cop involved to the defense. Sometimes, they have to make a determination whether there is any hope of getting a conviction before they spend the resources on a prosecution where reasonable doubt exists from the get-go.
The only witness to the shooting was the mother of the two, and she was going with "accident", from what I've read.
Every politician who has ever been a DA has a Bishop-like skeleton somewhere in their past.
