Just at the moment when my self confidence was at it’s peak did it come crashing down as 2 officers approached my booth at the Street fair saying I was under arrest. I asked the officers if this could be done away from the crowd so I wouldn’t be totally humiliated and at least they obliged. As my hands were placed behind my back and a pair of hand cuffs strapped to my wrist I knew I was in the ride that would change my life. I can’t totally recall whether Tom Steven’s was in the front seat but I remember seeing his face somewhere that day burned in my soul. When I arrived at the precinct I was put in a holding cell not knowing what the hell was going on and not knowing where I could turn.
Then I found out what I was accused of and discovered the true nature of evil. Any investigator with an ounce of technical skills would see that 130 lb 5’6 frame could not overpower a 6 foot frame 250lb person with a simple a knife and perpetrate the despicable act that Steven’s said occurred but he was a “lawyer” and I was Joe Jew. Don’t get me wrong Mr. Steven’s probably worked diligently to provide them with the evidence of the crime even producing a knife with my initials on. Another completely stupid action of the investigators if I was to commit such a vile act would I bring a knife with my initials on it to perpetrate it and then leave it there. There were more holes in this case then any slice of Swiss Cheese but that didn’t matter to the police because at least they were closer to their quota for the month. The investigators drilled me about “the supposed crime” but couldn’t find anything because there was absolutely nothing to be found . Yet it was time for me to go through the system.
A system that would leave me with scars that continue 30 years later.
You might ask why I don’t mention the accused crime and the reason is simple we give to much publicity to those who commit evil then those who are the victim of such evil. If anything comes out of this writing I hope it opens the door that many are accused and many are truly innocent.
