Brickbat: Poor Eyesight

Kiosea39 / Dreamstime.com

In May, Las Vegas police arrested Keyherra Green in connection with the death of a 73-year-old woman. They recently announced that they arrested the wrong woman. Their new suspect is named Keara Green. Cops say it's an honest mistake because the two women have similar names, were born within five days of each other and look alike. But a quick glimpse at their mug shots indicates they two don't really share a resemblance, other than that both are black women.

Found up the usual suspects.

That is still one of my all time favorite films! I want to hate Spacey, but it's challenging with that movie. It is just so good.

[Conchfritters]

Is that the one about the hooker with dysentery?

[gaoxiaen]

You are a criminal!

People with prosopagnosia shouldn't be police.

McAfee can afford better bots. Boo.

They all look the same, to the Las Vegas police at least.

Based on my name I'm mistaken for someone else quite often, but that has never lead to an arrest.

Well then, you are not Steve Walsh from the band Kansas. Former QB for the Cowboys perhaps?

Just dust in the wind.

Those are the more pleasant mistaken identity episodes! I can't sing that well and can't throw a football to save my life (some say he couldn't either).

[Public Defender Patricia] Palm said she and the Clark County special public defender's office were moved by Green's consistent insistence to investigate further.

Sounds like this might be an unusual effort made by that Public Defenders office.

[Hamster of Doom]

An effort was made. That's unusual.

/that was probably the joke. Redundancy Department of Redundancy, at yer service

[Juice]

Is that all it takes to get the cops to let you go? Be consistently insistent?

[AlmightyJB]

Two for the price of one.

[loveconstitution1789]

All those suspect citizens look alike.
