A New York woman was stepping out of a vehicle when she was hit by a stray bullet. In shock, she pulled at her stretch pants because they were driven into her leg… a bullet popped out and blood began to pour. She immediately went to the nearest hospital for treatment, and by law hospitals are required to report gunshot wounds. The police arrived to investigate.
Without reasonable circumstances, an arrested party should be able to see a judge within 24 hours. Court ran all week, no circumstances were reported, and yet this woman was held without apology or cause. In fact, she was denied feminine hygiene products and once lost control of her bladder when she was not taken to facilities in time. She was mocked and coerced by police who made it clear she could leave once she changed her story. The problem is, her story was the truth. Somewhere in there it was brought up that she had a warrant for failure to appear, but when it was finally checked out Griffin was again cleared. She had appeared, a clerical error had led to the warrant’s issue. The fact that she had not even had her license run by an officer in the two years after the warrant was issued is also proof that this woman is miles from a career criminal.
During her imprisonment, Griffin claims cops refused to provide a sanitary napkin and she urinated on herself when no one was available to escort her to the bathroom.
