Manuel Sanchez

Manuel Sanchez is a main character and the protagonist of Murder Police.

Personality
Manuel is a neurotic and nerdy cop who aspires to be a good policeman, but his efforts to solve crimes are constantly put in jeopardy by his own clumsiness and the incompetence of his fellow detectives. Making matters worse, his egotistical, bribe-accepting partner, Tommy Margaretti, a tough, rule-breaking “bad cop,” can’t interrogate a suspect without beating him up.

Manuel’s ex-wife, Rosa, is a defense lawyer who remains irritated that Manuel always put his job first. But they remain bonded in the upbringing of their son, Mario, a troubled teen who is less impressed with his father than he is by the criminals he catches.
