On July 27, 1996, a bomb went off at Centennial Olympic Park
in Atlanta, Georgia at the Summer Olympics. Security guard
Richard Jewell had observed and reported the bomb. He
subsequently became the prime suspect in the case which was
widely reported internationally. Jewell was later exonerated
after a serial bomber named Eric Rudolph, who was responsible
for several bombings over multiple states, was arrested and
charged. Jewell subsequently sued the Atlanta Journal-
Constitution newspaper, and his former employer, Piedmont
College. He settled a suit with CNN for an undisclosed amount
of money. Jewell considered filing suit against the FBI but
declined, believing it would be futile. This situation has
resulted in a greater concern over how people are identified
when they may, or may not, be material to a criminal
investigation.
Based on this situation as a historical backdrop, research a
minimum of two scholarly and/or credible sources on another
investigation where an individual is not identified as a suspect
but, rather, by another term such as “a person of interest” by
law enforcement. Analyze how the chosen situation was handled
differently from the Jewell case and what, if any, influence the
Jewell case may have had on the handling chosen situation.
Analyze legal policies and Constitutional mandates that pertain
to privacy rights. Explain the responsibility law enforcement
personnel have in protecting privacy rights while doing their
jobs. Evaluate ethical issues as they pertain to law enforcement
agency operations, in this case specifically to the identification
of suspects in the media. Provide an example of how criminal
events may be “tried in the court of public opinion” due to the
media coverage. Suggest a remedy for how this can be
mitigated.
