Woman killed when police cannot protect her. Law and Order
Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2012 7:09 pm
I woke up early on Sunday morning and could not go back to sleep. (hate it when that happens) Anyway a Law and Order marathon was on Cable. Started watching.
Anyway to the fictional story that was probably based on some real event in New York.
Woman in New York City had ordered some furniture on the phone. A prison inmate answered the 800 number. I guess companies contract with prisons and have prisoners take orders. (don't know if this is true)
Pervert in prison likes the sound of woman's voice and looks her up on line. Likes the way she looks. When he gets out, he starts stalking her. Woman realizes she is being stalked and goes to the police. Police are powerless do do anything. Detective Lennie Briscoe feels real bad they can not help her.
She goes to the point of throwing herself down a flight of stairs to injure herself, so the police can arrest this guy.
They figure out she did this herself, but avoid charging her for making a false police report. They release the pervert on to the streets. Detective Lennie Briscoe feels real bad they can not help her.
Two days later, late at night, the pervert breaks through the burglar bars she has on her apartment windows. He rapes and murders her with a kitchen knife. On 911 she is heard screaming and naming the pervert as her killer. Detective Lennie Briscoe feels real bad they could not help her.
Judge throws out the 911 recording as the woman had previously lied about her attack by the same man. The pervert is going to be released, as they have no other evidence pointing to the pervert, when Detective Lennie Briscoe says, she did not lie and he was incompetent in his job and that the pervert had actually pushed her down the stairs.
Lennie purgers himself on the stand and the BG gets 20 years. End of story. I cheered. Justice has been served even though Lennie had to lie under oath. I forgave him. The world is right again.
Except the woman is dead.
Oh, in Texas the police would have said "go buy a gun, learn to shoot, get a CHL."
