Not the rich, but politicians, police leadership, and DAs.

They don't want to talk about how murders can go unsolved and crime unpunished in the cities they manage and protect.

They want to demonstrate that when they show up in force they are able to quickly solve a crime and bring a criminal to justice. One, so they can keep getting elected and two so that others don't think they can get away with committing crimes.

The DA will want to push a conviction so that they look tough on crime for their political campaigns. Often times withholding evidence that might harm their case.

I don't know if it happened in this case, but it has happened before where police will railroad a suspect to get a conviction even if there is clear evidence they couldn't have committed the crime.
