Falsely Accused Woman Sues Orlando Police
An Orlando woman who spent three months in a Florida jail is now suing
the Orlando Police Department for falsely
accusing her. The woman was arrested
in 2007 and charged with vandalizing a
home, but she claims she never committed the misdemeanor.
Her attorneys
performed an investigation and discovered that the real vandal’s name was Merline, which is similar to the accused woman’s first name, Malenee. The
accused woman was working at a Burger King in the Orlando area at the same time
that police claim witnesses placed her at the scene of the crime.
As her
attorney points out, innocent people are often convicted of crimes they did not
commit, and it is unfortunately rare that the truth is discovered and the false
accusations are brought to light. Although Malenee’s charges have been dropped, the attorneys are hoping she will
receive compensation for the three
months she had to spend in jail, and for the humiliation – in both her personal and public life – of being
falsely accused of a crime.
If you have
been falsely accused of committing a misdemeanor or felony, please contact our
experienced Orlando criminal defense attorneys at The Umansky Law Firm today
for a free initial consultation. We can help you get back on solid ground.
