Some people just seem to have a natural "I'm here to cause trouble" look on their face. My brother is one such. He never DOES anything, but everyone assumes he's going to; he gets pulled over, searched, jerked around by authority, and when it happens he gets red in the face and shakes and looks guilty. It happened when he was a little boy and I was mad at him, for that matter. He looks guilty when innocent.
We need to require our public servants (sarcasm? sometimes) to keep evidence against us when we have done something actionable--or they must let us go. And we must be permitted to keep evidence against them. Who was on the scene to advocate for a pregnant woman and her volatile husband? But security could just keep calling more biased "witnesses" for their side.

If push came to shove, I would expect there were plenty of witnesses around that could have shed light on the matter. Perhaps that was the real reason the 'victim' did not go that route(?)
Sorry about the brother!
