Police official: We’re prepared to release rape suspect if evidence not verified

An official with knowledge of the investigation says that police are prepared to drop the indictment against rape suspect Mahmoud Qadusa if it is not able to verify the accusations made against him.

The official says that law enforcement is confident in the veracity of the 7-year-old alleged victim’s account and believes that Qadusa is in fact the culprit. However, he acknowledges that the indictment against the 46-year-old Palestinian had been submitted too quickly.
