Old cell phones are refurbished and given to battered women’s shelters and other help agencies to provide women at risk a way to make emergency calls. On the pre-paids, I’m not sure the number is always changed...
That is certainly a possibility.
On the other hand, that would be a pretty amazing coincidence, right?
Swinton makes calls in a case where she is charged with false accusations. In that case, a prepaid phone is used.
A couple of months later, “Sarah” makes calls alleging abuse using that same phone call. The next day, Swinton makes calls about Sarah using a different phone and claiming to be Sarah’s twin sister (which might explain her use of a second phone, thinking that would prove there were two girls making the calls).
Yes, it could happen, but that would be one of thos “WOW” moments. So I stand by my assertion that the MOST PLAUSIBLE explanation is that Swinton, or someone working with her, used that prepaid phone to make calls in BOTH cases, which includes at least some of the “Sarah” calls.
Since this is in an affidavit, I guess we’ll know more in a few days. I’m certainly not asserting we know this for a fact yet.
