Thank you for sharing this. I’m so sorry that happened to you, and I hope you’re in a much better place now. ❤️ I have to wonder if your neighbor knew about the abuse (since he was a neighbor and might’ve heard what was happening, and since you said he would listen to you). I wonder if he saw his chance to hurt you…

Oh man, this hits close to home. I was taken advantage of by a man who was 14 years older than me. I was 21, in a physically abusive relationship, isolated, and he was my next door neighbor. He was kind, good-looking, and would listen to me, and one night he pushed himself on me while we were sitting out on my deck. I…

yes he did..

When is the appropriate time to bring up Kobe’s past? It will forever be “too soon” for some people and “old news” for some others. So where is that magic hour that people will actually want to talk about it?

THIS!!!! This man admitted he “may have raped” a girl and apologized for it. So, there’s no question about him being a rapist.

“The thing that was even more upsetting to me is the fact that they’re not antiques, they’re replicas.”

The reason she was upset at the fact that these were replicas is because, not only did they make the originals..but someone felt they were SO great that reproductions were in order!
I was working one day in Mamaroneck NY and stopped into a nice little antique shop watched over by a kindly white haired old lady who…

I’d argue the problem in that case isn’t the bluff about having DNA evidence, it was the high pressure interrogation.  Even without bluffs about having evidence confessions in high pressure interrogations are sketchy.

I used to believe that an innocent person would not confess to a crime just because an officer lied about evidence because they would know that was a lie. I have long since learned better, but I never did think of someone confessing with the idea that the lied about evidence would exonerate them. That’s horrible. 

In Austin, APD adopted a formal policy that officers are not allowed to lie as a ruse to get information on a case due to another lie that had very tragic consequences, here, years ago. In 1991, four teenage girls were murdered in the yogurt shop where they were working. Despite evidence pointing to other suspects,…

If cops can lie on the job sometimes and for some reasons, when can they not lie, and why should we ever assume a cop is not lying? Isn’t lying to get justify an arrest almost the same as lying to get a conviction?
