ANDREW LAWRENCE — Delusion In Duluth

 

July 31, 2010: A woman reports being raped by two intruders in her Duluth home. She says the rape happened July 13. Or was it July 20? She didn’t come forward until she had a nightmare about it, which begs the obvious question, did it happen only in her nightmare?

A neighbour, Andrew Lawrence, is charged. On the basis of what? According to the Duluth News Tribune which covered the story in considerable depth, the police investigation was incredibly superficial. Eventually the charges against Lawrence were dropped. Rather than being a case of mistaken identity or an allegation made from some sort of malicious motive, the best evidence indicates this burglary and assault really did happen only in this woman’s head. Her insistence that Lawrence was harassing her is one such indication.

This is the report from the Duluth News Tribune.
