Posted by Raymond Lucas, a resident of East Palo Alto, on Jul 5, 2012 at 11:24 am If witnesses directed police to Roberto Romera, what OTHER information are police requesting?
Perhaps they would like the public to do all the work and convict this guy.

Posted by Phil, a resident of the Downtown North neighborhood, on Jul 5, 2012 at 12:38 pm Because Raymond, the police have the responsibility of conducting a thorough investigation that includes identifying any potential witness to the alleged crime. There could be additional witnesses that were no longer present when the police arrived, or, people that could provide valuable information regarding the events that transpired prior to the assault. That's why they're asking.
