Waiting for the Law & Order: SVU “Ripped from the Headlines” version
A 7-year-old boy from Chicago was awarded $2 million after he was wrongly accused of sexually assualting and murdering a young girl. The suit stated that he suffered from post-traumatic stress. No shit? Being 7, hearing horrific details of a murder, and having a confession coerced out of you will do that?
In the end, a convicted sex offender was found guilty of the murder. Cops must have been REALLY far off track to jump to a 7-year-old boy FIRST. Three cheers for law enforcement!
The writers over at Law & Order must be salivating.
