Supposedly the attack happened out of range of the cameras.

After I saw the pictures my belief waned, too. The “B” was just a little too neat to be scratched in by a deranged attacker.

IF this is a hoax, it is a truly bizzare one. Who would screw up their own face just for attention?......

Camera shot on the polygraph. The pen moves back and forth on the paper. Lou and Sergeant Tierney look at each other.

Lou: Did Jane’s finance kidnap Sydney and take her to Las Vegas? And if so, did she enjoy it?

Jerry: I don’t know.

Lou: Did Jane sleep with Michael again?

Jerry: (He hesitates) Yes! That stupid idiot. He left her for Kimberly, he slept with her sister. He tricked her into giving him half her business, and then she goes ahead and sleeps with him again. I mean she’s crazy. How could she do something like that? Oh that Jane, she makes me so mad.

He picks up his coat and leaves.

I dunno, pissant.

She seems a bit more credible than the average “flake”.

I’d like to know who saw her last prior to the attack to confirm it wasn’t a prior injury. I’d also like to know of what the tape(s) show of the assault - there was more than one camera in the area per the video link to a TV station in Pittsburg. The new detail about previous robberys in the same area w/a man matching the same description is interesting too. The PD needs to release the report and results of the polygraph ASAP!

I appreciate all your posts, BTW.

Best to ya -

Probably an Obama campaign ploy. I’d like to know this girl’s real history. A psycho teen, who supports McCain, faking an attack from a ‘black’ man, is toooo convenient.

I called it fishy first. Shades of the Runaway bride??

I have to agree. I thought the B etched on her face seem to be too perfect to do if if the attacker had to hold her done.

Folks, let’s give this gal some benefit of the doubt. As far as we know, she is a reputable campaign volunteer. The police are trying to shake her story, which I guess is their job. But inconsistencies are quite understandable in such a situation. It bothers me that the media and blog frenzy seems to be picking up where the attacker left off.

“It’s more than they did w/ Tawana Brawley or the Duke stripper.”

To even suggest that these honest, fine citizens take a polygraph would have been racist! /sarc

The woman's own account of how her face came to be marked-the attacker was facing her:

Ms. Todd told police during at least five hours of questioning last night that her attacker said to her, "You are going to be a Barack supporter." She told police the man then sat on her chest, pinning both her hands down with his knees and used what she believed was a dull knife with a roughly 5-inch blade to carve the B.

Man, this girl keeps digging a deeper hole:

http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/17789356/detail.html

Speaking to Channel 4 Action News on Friday, Richard said they’re still questioning Todd because of some new developments.

“We have learned that the victim’s statement has a few inconsistencies in it and her statement has changed,” said Richard

Richard said Todd now says she isn’t sure if it was a bumper sticker on her car or a campaign button on her jacket that angered the attacker. Richard said Todd added new details to the attack, saying at one point she lost consciousness.

“She also indicated she was sexually assaulted as well. She indicated that when he had her on the ground he put his hand up her blouse and started fondling her. But other than that, she says she doesn’t remember anything else. So we’re adding a sexual assault to this as well,” Richard said.

Police said they gave a polygraph test to Todd, but they aren’t releasing the results.

I'm surprised she didn't ask to delay a polygraph. You would think the emotions of being mugged could cause problems and if it was a hoax she would beg to delay it.

I know it’s out of fashion to give somebody the benefit of the doubt and I would never want to get in the way of some Freppers morphing into DUers as they obviously are. That said, what if by some small chance she is telling the truth and agreed to take the polygraph right away to prove she isnt lying?

“When will Obama have a polygraph test?”

My first thought as well.
