A (presumably) couple had (an apparently) gnarly breakup.
Cops are called.
But that’s not the whole story…:
”Gotcha” moments don’t come more classic than the one that happened in Montgomery County recently.
The Sheriff’s Office blotter says two officers were called to an apartment to investigate a sexual assault.
“The alleged victim stated to the deputies that her 26-year-old male friend had sexually assaulted her,” the report says.
Fair enough, and with that friend standing in the same apartment, no big manhunt needed.
And your typical womyn’s studies major would have convicted the guy and given him a lethal injection right about there.
But wait!
Not so fast: “Upon further investigation the deputies watched a video recording the male had made that showed the female telling him that she was calling the police because he was making her leave the apartment and she would tell the police he assaulted her.”
Hope it turns up on “Smoking Gun’s World’s Dumbest…” one of these days.
One has to wonder how many innocent men have been jailed on the word of an angry woman? It makes those of us with a sane, patient wife realize how blessed we really are.
“One has to wonder how many innocent men have been jailed on the word of an angry woman?”
Infinitely more than the other way around.
We have the political stalkers (left and right) trying to get a gotcha moment, and we had the terrorists in St Paul during the RNC filming 100s and 100s of hours (between all their cameras) hoping to get a 15 second shot that could be edited to make the police look bad (basically provoke the police, but only show the law enforcement reaction), BUT……..
I think the universal use of digital video recording is great. Police use it to show what happens during arrests (there is a lawyer in Duluth Minnesota who is a master at suing police departments by making up stories). Railroads use to to film grade crossings (people that drive in front of trains always lie and say the crossing lights weren’t on and the train didn’t blow its horn). Even things like retail security.
I knew two lawyers getting divorced from one another. He played the same sort of CYA game and got his wife disbarred when she tried to get him jailed for assault on completely made up charges. He actually waited until the formal charges were filed before releasing the video tape (and it was a tape from an actual VCR camera in those days) to make sure he could take her to the cleaners. Yeah, it was a very messy divorce.
Wait- I thought women never lied about rape!
Thanks to the femenazi’s at kolleges across the country rape now basically equals any sex a womyn regrets having the next day.
