That's pretty much the norm. However, once the court process begins (either
with the indictment or the prelim), that strong suspicion must be backed
with evidence.
Of course, the evidence might not be (and frequently is not) compelling, but
it must exist, and that's what Cadenas was suggesting should be used for
personnel decisions.
