Selfie saves innocent man facing 99 years behind bars

Precopia had no clue why he was being arrested or what he was accused of, but he later found out his ex-girlfriend from high school had gone to the cops with a fabricated tale.

The accuser said Precopia broke into her home in Temple and sliced an X into her chest with a box cutter. Her identity is not being made public because she is not being charged with a crime. She would later admit to Temple police that she reported Precopia because she had a rocky relationship with him several years earlier.

On the night of the alleged attack, Precopia was actually 65 miles away at a hotel in Austin with his mom, Erin Precopia.

Luckily, he decided to take a selfie of himself with his family that evening, which he posted on social media.

“By the grace of God, [the accuser] said it happened on the day when I can say totally, 100 percent, where he was at,” Erin Precopia said.

Precopia had a solid alibi, but authorities charged him anyway, something police experts told KVUE might have been presumptuous. Generally, police interview suspects before charging them with a crime, the station explained.

Filing a false police report that results in a man being arrested and spending thousands of dollars to defend himself isn't a crime?

This happened to me.

My idiot ex bashed herself in the head when I was in my attorneys office, on the phone with the judge setting a court date.

Needless to say, she immediately lost custody.

Remember the insane woman accuser of Kavanaugh was INSISTING he testify first in violation of all norms of defense? She desperately wanted to see his schedule so she could pick a day for the alleged party where he had no alibi.

Thank God the woman in this case failed to check the poor man’s Facebook to see he had posted a selfie on the day she alleged the attack took place.

There are so many of these cases of women making totally fabricated charges as retribution against innocent men.

Maybe it would have become 99 months, after he had gone to trial for killing her.

Don’t tell me he wasn’t tempted.

Post #5 is pretty remarkable, especially as personal testimony.

Good thing the selfie wasn't of him committing another crime.

WTH?

Now anyone can submit a false report to the police and not be charged?

Sue the cops for failure to follow protocol and sue the girl for slander.

As with so many others who make false accusations and fabricate hate crimes. why AREN'T they being charged for the damage they do to innocent people? And why are their names always withheld?

Sheesh.

By what legal reasoning is she not being charged with a crime?

Why not? Because the cops did not check him out before charging him. Their only escape after finally dropping all charges is to remove all aspects from the blotter.

It’s typical anymore. Guilty until proven innocent even if the proof is staring them in the face. They have to “Do their job” and throw “somebody” in jail. Innocent or not... “just throw them in jail and let the courts sort it out”.

Been there a couple times now...
