MSNBC Reports That Pittsburgh Police Want To Give B Girl Polygraph Test
Edited on Fri Oct-24-08 08:08 AM by Me.
Will take the test. Police says she gave inconsistent stories.

Correction: She has taken test and the results are not favorable to Ashley as there are still inconsistencies

5. more on the inconsistencies here...initial report said nothing about McCain sticker
Edited on Fri Oct-24-08 08:11 AM by maddezmom
Zone 5 detectives were handling the case initially, but it was turned over to the robbery squad last night after the case made national headlines.

When Ms. Todd reported the incident, "nowhere did she say to the officer that made reference to the bumper sticker. I don't know how she came to the conclusion that he noticed the sticker," Cmdr. Ross said.

He said the description of the robber as a 6-foot 4-inch, 200-pound black man is similar to that of a man who robbed a Liberty Avenue bank in recent weeks.

Police were checking surveillance video of the Wednesday ATM incident.

Several employees at nearby businesses last night said they were unaware of the attack.

19. Bank robbers and street muggers are not the same profile, personality types.
IMHO....

But in this country "a 6-foot 4-inch, 200-pound black man" would automatically fit any crime profile, except for white collar crimes.

Sadly.

20. IMO the police already know the truth
I bet she never even made it to the cash machine. No video and her polygraph shows she is not telling the whole story.

Could be the police are giving her time to come forward on her own.

Just my 2.

Either way, she is in serious need of mental health intervention.

8. If this proves to be false (and it will) this girl deserves to be prosecuted and humiliated
by the press. This rethug "I was attacked by a big scary black man" bullshit has GOT to stop.

9. Faux tied the story into Rumors of Riots in Atlanta if Obama didn't win
This breeds more fear and hate. I hope the cops get her to
come forward with the truth.

12. She is in deep doo doo. Can't pass the polygraph. The police
are investigating other aspects of her story. Poly came back bad.

13. the "B" is backwards? Hmmm...wouldn't that happen in a mirror?
I posted this on another thread, but wanted to ask again.

If someone did not think this through all the way, and carved it on themselves in a mirror, the "B" would be backwards, like on her.

17. And the police did not photograph her.
So if the person who brutally beat and mutilated her is caught, what will the police use as evidence against him? She wouldn't seek medical attention so they can't use any medical professional's testimony. If she told the police her story the way she told it to Drudge, they would have to know the story would go viral, in which case they look unbelievably stupid for not insisting she at least be photographed.

Are the police in PA that completely incompetent and stupid? I don't think so.

18. I don't understand the photo
I admit I haven't been following this story all that closely, but I did see the photo of her face with the backwards "B". But if the cops didn't take any photos, then who took that photo and posted it online? If it was her or her friend, that is certainly a bizarre thing to do after you've been robbed and beaten up.

22. It was a friend
and she posted it.

So now the friend is an accomplice after the fact.
