AnotherPat sends us an injustice that reminds us of the Kavanaugh Hearings. One argument, advanced during this hearing, was that his accuser should be believed despite lack of evidence. They tried pushing this mantra even when her witnesses rejected her account.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, this isn’t restricted to the Kavanaugh Hearings. We’ve heard, or read, of cases where people were falsely accused of crimes that they didn’t commit. Their lives ended up being turned inside out. Then, we learned that their accusers were wrong. They made a false accusation. <\/p>\n

Christopher Precopia is no stranger to false accusations. He went to the recruiter’s office to apply for enlistment. Then, he received the bad news. The Army wasn’t going to let him enlist due to a violent offense from his past. Except, he didn’t commit that crime.<\/p>\n

From The Washington Post<\/a>:<\/p>\n

In oral and written statements to police, his accuser detailed how Precopia had forced his way into her home, pushing her to the ground before punching her in the face and slicing her with the box cutter. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The cops arrested him. Since this was a phony charge, he didn’t have any idea on why he was being arrested. He had a warrant for his arrest in another county, one that he couldn’t name. He was even told to “Not act like he didn’t know”. <\/p>\n

His accuser claimed that he assaulted her in her home, which was 70 miles away from where he was actually at. This costed him a day in jail, money required to post a $150,000 bond, emotional pain, as well as resources and man hours to clear his name. <\/p>\n

Turned out that his mom had a group photo done, that included him, taken during the time of the alleged attack. He was looking at serious prison time for an act that he didn’t commit. This is enough to give his family, and him a shudder thinking about what could’ve happened had that picture not been taken. <\/p>\n
