In the statement issued Sunday by attorney Wendy Murphy, Whalen who has not spoken publicly said she only saw the backs of the two men and did not know their race when she made the call. Murphy said Whalen, who works nearby, called because she had been aware of recent break-ins in the area and wanted to correct “misinformation” suggesting that she placed the call because the men on the porch were black.
Sadly, next time she something, she may chose to not telephone to avoid all of this turmoi, and it may be real burglars.
