But, lets say the officer checks into the accused story and several witnesses state the accused statements are correct and accurate. But, the officer firmly believes the accused is the guilty party and refuses to release the accused and does not put the witness statements in file.
Later, in court, it is learned that there is no way the accused could have committed the crime and, thus, acquitted.
Is the officer justified for the detainment or was this an act of kidnapping or false imprisonment?
