The Cuyahoga County, Ohio, prosceutor's office has fired assistant prosecutor Aaron Brockler after he admitted posing as a woman online to try to get alibi witnesses to change their testimony in a murder case. Brockler posed as a former girlfriend of the accused on Facebook and told the two witnesses, both women, that he'd had a child with the man. He claims both women then recanted their stories.
