When I received a private copy of the video two weeks ago, I wanted the world to see what I was seeing. There is nothing on this tape that argues that this woman committed any felonies, and Prosecutor Stephen Sokoloff was bluffing when he stated that the video would prove his case. The prosecutor’s focus on Heather allegedly ‘behaving badly’ has nothing to do with the felonious accusations being thrust upon her. The truth of the matter is that there may have been some collusion on the part of Wal-Mart employees and the police, and this has led to Heather’s life being derailed unnecessarily.
It is my greatest hope that Heather will be exonerated and I congratulate her for standing up for what is right. I also ask that the Missouri state Attorney General and the United States Justice Department do an investigation into the entire Southeast Missouri justice system, since defendants are being railroaded by aggressive police officers and unjust prosecutors. The data tell us that Heather’s case is just the beginning of larger problems in this area, which is a threat to American citizens everywhere.
