[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I were a man, and learned I was the very last person known to have been with a rather drunk woman who subsequently disappeared.... and I learned that there was video footage of us together at say, 1 AM.... even if I knew I was totally innocent, I would also understand that I would be the prime suspect in her disappearance.   So even though I knew I didn't do anything, I would consult a lawyer.[/quote]

Years ago, while in college, I was in the wrong place at the wrong time.  I was walking back from a friends appt to my appt. As usual, I took the foot path to shorten the walk.    Unfortunately, a fellow student was sexually assaulted in the same area about an hour earlier.  I was stopped, questioned, then detained.  I matched the description of the attacker:  White, 6 feet tall, big build, dark hair; The police did not believe my alibi -- I was with a friend watching basketball -- even though I knew exactly what happened in a basketball game at the time of the attack.  I figured I had done nothing wrong, and would cooperate.

They were trying to get me to confess.   Finally, they did a lineup (the next day).  After that I was released.  About 6 days later, I met the woman.  She remembered me from the lineup, asking why they chose me for the line up -- I did not look at all like the attacker.  I told her that I was the suspect....

In my case, it turned out that a sherif deputy was the attacker.[/quote]
