Scott broom is live in cheverly, where the emotional aftershocks are still going. And everybody is feeling them. You are correct. The outcome here is all too common. In Domestic Violence cases. You have a victim who recants her story, said it didnt happen. Refuses to testify. And then this case, a woman who even bailed her abuser out of jail. Tariqa jones, mother of 3, and her stepsister, gelisa harris, gunned down. By the same man jones had bailed out of jail. Prince georges county states attorney, also beside herself, with sadness and frustration. This is the absolute worst case scenario. I think this is every prosecutors worse nightmare. Kevin tyrese reynolds. Including numerous gun and drug charges. He was the father of one of he dragged her on the ground on february 10th, causing bruises and bruises and a abrasions. He threatened other people. And then she called 911. But by the time the trial came, she took it all back, saying the charges were not true. The case vaporized before their eyes. The judge reduced the bail to 20,000. And jones paid to get reynolds out of jail. He went on to kill her and the kids monday night and killed himself yesterday. Its the story heard too many times. I think 50 of these cases, the charges are filed and the witnesses never come back. It is my decision, whether to stay in a relationship. I dont have the authority to tell a woman whether or not to stay in her relationship. It is my job, however, to keep her safe. And we can do that. I want to underline that figure she said in about 50 of cases, you run into dynamics like this one. Said she knew she was in a bad situation with reynolds. Despite the charges against him. She feared he was eventually going to get out of jail at some point in the future. She was intimidated. She decided to recand her recand her story and back off. Thats what she decided to do. Before she did, brosecutors were asking the judge to keep reynolds behind bars without bail. They were prepared to throw the book at him. They didnt get the chance.
