Deaf and blind woman escapes her abductor then identifies the suspect
Deaf and blind woman escapes her abductor then identifies the suspect
The woman — deaf and mute, with vision so poor she's legally blind — had been sitting at a bus stop when she was approached by a man she thought was a co-worker. She was wrong! picked by tigertony 10 months ago

Glad she was able to get away and alert someone. The icing on the cake is that the guy got nabbed.

Though police suspected Mendez on Friday, they needed more evidence before they could charge him with false imprisonment and lewd and lascivious molestation of a disabled person, before they could take him to jail, where he would be held in lieu of $4,000 bail.

They asked the victim to identify her perpetrator.

Standing before the open back door of the cruiser where the man was seated, the woman lowered her face to his face. Only inches separated them. She put her eyes to his eyes, placed her hands on his handcuffed hands, then turned and collapsed, sobbing in the arms of a detective.
It seems to me it would be child's play to get her identification of him thrown out.

1st she's legally blind so her vision is suspect.

2nd they show her a man handcuffed and asked her if it was him. A lawyer will show that the emotion of what happened to her made her have a need to blame someone, someone she could point to and say that's the one - especially with her lack of senses. A lawyer will say that she would have said yes to anyone and that showing her a suspect in handcuffs in a police car taints the identification.

Of course perhaps I'm wrong, I'm no lawyer/police officer no matter how many episodes of Law & Order/LA Law/The Closer/etc, etc I've seen.

Hopefully they will be able to get a conviction even if her ID is thrown out. Perhaps they can get a confession from him.

I was thinking the same thing. They needed to have at least 2 more guys in cuffs for her to try and ID, so it would be more able to stand in court.

Don't forget that 2 witnesses saw the car the guy was in, and reported the plates. That and the cops found the guy in the car with his willy out.

There were no witnesses at least not that I read.

The man was black, the woman scribbled. He wore a striped shirt. His car was white.

Miah saw a white sedan in the parking lot. The man inside was on the phone, and he seemed to be blocking gas station traffic.

"Go get the man's license plate number," Miah ordered a customer.
He was driving a white car and he had his willy out, but that could be ruled circumstantial and not proof that he was the one who abducted her.

Not saying he isn't just that from my laymen understanding of the law, a halfway decent lawyer could get the IDing of him by the lady thrown out.

Tanveer Miah, the store clerk who translated the woman's story to "911" operators, and the customer Tanveer ordered to copy the license plate number from the white sedan before it pulled away to park across the street.

The white sedan that was seen after she said it was a white car.

No one saw the incident.
