Mark hired an attorney
The lawyer, an experienced veteran in his field of expertise, began immediately to dissect the information Mark had provided. Listen, it’s their job to prove that you are the owner of this object. The lawyer assuredly said, “It’s their responsibility to prove that you are connected to this object without a doubt.” As he read the reports and compared the findings with each other, a small furrow appeared on his forehead.
The police had the advantage that there was no evidence to link Mark with the buried item, but the rapidity of their actions and the attention they seemed to be giving this case hinted at a deeper level of complexity. The lawyer understood that there were unnoticed pressures and influences in play. He had to navigate treacherous waters carefully to secure Mark’s release.
