Bjorn: What’s A ‘Person Of Interest’?

Bjorn: Not that I sympathize with the perps , but what is a “person of interest”? Is that just a made up term? Do “persons of interest” have the same rights as an actual suspect? Is there an actual legal definition for “person of interest”, or is it like “enemy combatant”?

Raymond Pert: Here’s an article about the term “persons of interest”. Interestingly it addresses the Groene/McKenzie murders. The article addresses how “Journalists — confronted with high-profile cases and competitors hot on their heels — must decide how to handle the vague term to describe what could be the central figure in their stories.”
