POMONA - A man with a tool box and not Kerri Dunn may have been the culprit who vandalized the former Claremont McKenna College psychology professor's car. Dunn's attorney said in opening statements Friday that Dunn of Redlands did not spray-paint hateful slurs on her Honda Civic and slash its tires, and during her trial he plans to call the college's electrician as a witness.
The electrician will tell the jury a man with a tool box was crouched by her car the night of the incident that resulted in the Claremont Colleges cancelling classes for a day of anti-hate rallies.

While Lincenberg's opening remarks alluded to a man with the tool box, Bean called Michael Martinez and Dominique Zepeda who said they saw Dunn vandalize two of her own tires.

Zepeda was in the front passenger seat and said she saw writing already on the car when it pulled into the space next to them.
Both said they saw Dunn bend over by each of the driver's side tires and heard a sound that sounded like air being let out of the tires.
(snip)
"We thought she was weird and we did not know what was going on,' Zepeda said. "At first we thought it was a prank. We also thought that it might be research on how people react to certain situations.'

Oh please. There were witnesses who saw her drive it in painted and flatten the tires herself from what I have read. This lady is desperate to get out of the mess she created.
I think the one armed man did it.
Dunn's lawyer is going to do his best to crucify the two kids who were honest and brave enough to come forward with their testimony.
No joke. This article is the first I've read that mentions the insurance fraud counts. Her company wouldn't have moved against her unless their own investigators determined that she did the damage herself. I think she's cooked -- with or without the mysterious "man with the tool box."
This perp is a Professor?
Only in Kalifornicate....
We are doomed.........
If found guilty of doing it herself- she should do HARD TIME and lose her "teaching" credentials...
Semper Fi
Crouching Man, Hidden Toolbox.
LOL!
Perhaps, if they convict her of the fraud & false report, they could, use testimony from the first trial to file the new, hate crime, charge? Nah; not gonna happen.
Stick a fork in her; she's Dunn.
Yes, because creating the impression of a hate crime, where none exists, is calculated to poison the atmosphere, and create intolerance all around, to be exploited for personal and group political gain. This is despicable.
There are dozens of these fake hate crimes documented over the years, that I personally know about. I wonder what the total really is, and whether the ratio of real/fake hate crimes is >1?
LOL! Her lawyer could make serious money writing children's books.
It's going to be interesting to see if she expresses remorse (confesses) before sentencing. If she doesn't, she'll serve a little more time but be a heroine on the liberal campuses, meaning future employment. That's a plus for somebody who just got disbarred.
While we're on the subject, anything new on our little friend Lori, of Capobianco fame?
Thazza durn fine question, vc. I haven't heard anything since she said she was packing up her bags and getting out of Dodge. I wonder what scam she's running in the next town over.
thanks for the update!
