pacinos character could've used that as leverage. "You kill a girl and and shoot a cop and think you're gona get away with it?". Easily could've confessed to Hilary swank and gotten away with it. "It was an accident. I haven't slept in weeks and we were in the fog. I was unconsciously in denial. But i do know who the killer is and we are about to make contact" boom.

The simple fact that Dormer shot his willing-to-testify partner was enough, reasonable doubt would be easy to disregard.
