The police DID NOT BREAK IN to someone's house and that was no mere neighbor.
The door was unlocked. The "neighbor" was a roommate and homosexual lover of one of the men.
The police did not know that it was a false complaint at the time the call was received. If you want to prohibit the police from responding to 911 calls, then say so.
The caller was sentenced to 30 days in jail and reportedly served 15 (I do not know if he worked off some of his time).
The caller is now dead of an unrelated assault so he won't be giving any interviews.
One article I read said that the police claimed that there was a history of these men making false calls on each other. I still contend that the 3 men conspired to create the circumstance by which they could challenge the law (since overturning the law was the first thing they addressed after being arrested).
Perhaps the other fake phone calls were attempts to lure the police into their trap (and some didn't bite/charge them with homosexual sodomy).
Unrelated assault is probably another gay man murdered him, or a boy prostitute.
They knew O'Connor would go for this. That's why they brought it up now.
