When the crooked cops kill Seagal's wife and think they kill Seagal in the beginning, they make it look like a murder-suicide. When Seagal was rushed to the hospital and kept alive, there was no evidence that it was corrupt cops who did the shooting. It's not like O'Malley saying, "I swear Mason Storm didn't do it!" would've made them just drop the case.
So, wouldn't Seagal have been charged with murder when he woke up from the coma? It's not like Seagal had any proof of the corrupt cops yet. There should have been at least some cops by his bed when he woke up trying to get the full story.

Nobody knew he was Mason Storm except O'Malley a doctor and a few nurses
If Ari Gold saw Chappie he would say:
"Chappie makes Elysium look like Citizen vcking Kane"

How so?
They shot Mason Storm in the chest with a shotgun.
It was staged more as a home invasion. Not to mention O'Malley had a witness, the future "big tuna" fisherman Sonny.

Actually every one of you is wrong. Remember the doc came out and said storm was dead, the other cops the hospital left and only then did another cop come and tell O'Malley that Mason storm was alive. As far as everyone knew, and newspaper clippings his girl brought him. Mason storm was dead and ONLY a John Doe in the coma

This is an important point, because it represents a plot hole: Why would they send a hitman to kill a John Doe? They would only do this if they knew it was Mason Storm. And if they knew it was Mason Storm, they could bring him up on charges.

Filmboards won't let me edit this post, so I should clarify: the police could bring him up on (trumped up) corruption and drug trafficking charges, but not for the murder of his family. As has been pointed out, no one ever tried to paint it as a murder-suicide. Bit difficult to argue how he was supposed to have shot himself in the chest with a shotgun from 15 feet away.
