[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] [b]Personally , I think the real unsung heroes  in this whole ordeal is the Irvine police department [/b]. This is precisely what the job of a police officer should be like , professional at all times , impartial , immune to individuals and their perceived socio economic statuses .

However , this being America I can't help it but think a minority woman wouldn't have benefited from the presumption of innocence, doubts, empathy and goodwill that Kelli Peters benefited from . You're welcome to prove me wrong [/quote]

I disagree.  I think the Irvine PD went on a relatively wild goose chase to prosecute the Easters.  I think it's great that they immediately saw that PTA mom was framed and did not charge her.  BUT, it seems like they expended a LOT of resources in getting the Easters and I don't think they were really worth it.  Crazy, yes, but probably not all that harmful, especially since no one believed their stupid plant. [b] Seems like much ado about very little.[/b] [/quote]

Disagree.  I have seen cases like this, a fixated community member willing to lie about anything to get their way, for no reason - they might not like how you looked, or your smile, or your laugh, or your car, or your kids, or your house, or anything arbitrary; or it might be that they don't like the way that they or the other person is perceived in the community.  Jill thought Kelli made her look bad (it wasn't difficult, apparently) - you name it. What if you were next?  That is how arbitrary Jill was/is. Sometimes people's actions don't make sense, but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be held accountable.   [/quote]
