Man Faced 99 Years For Attacking And Carving An 'X' In His Ex-Girlfriend...That Is Until A Selfie On Facebook Proved His Innocence

TEXAS – A Texas man facing a 99-year prison sentence has been cleared of all wrongdoing thanks to a selfie. Cristopher Precopia, 21, was arrested on the morning of September 21, 2017 and accused of breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s Temple home, attacking her and carving an X into her chest with a box cutter. The unnamed ex, whom he dated in high school several years earlier, claimed the attack happened the day prior, but Precopia knew he was out of town with his family at the time. After his parents posted $150,000 bail, a selfie that his mother uploaded to Facebook with timestamp and location was the key piece of evidence to solidify his alibi. ‘I had no idea why everything was happening, and I was lost,’ Precopia told KVUE. He faced a charge of burglary of a habitation with the intent to commit other crimes – a felony that carries a 99-year prison term. The ex-girlfriend has not been charged with a crime, but told police that she and Precopia had a troubled relationship when they dated in high school, which she said was the motive for the alleged assault.

Saved by a selfie. It took over a decade, but for once a mother finally posted something on Facebook their child can 100% approve of. But there it is, folks. The worst nightmare anybody can ever be forced to live through. Can you imagine being 100% innocent of a disgusting crime and still had to face the possibility of 99 years behind bars because someone was trying to spite you? It’s sickening to even think about. The difference between this poor guy having a life and going away forever was a freaking selfie his Mama took on a whim and posted on Facebook to be cool (while luckily having the timestamp and location). If that didn’t happen, goodbye life. That’s it.

Of course, my favorite part of this entire horror story:

The ex-girlfriend has not been charged with a crime…

Nope. If there were any justice then people would go for their pitchforks and torches to ensure this never, EVER happens again to anybody. But unfortunately there’s no righteousness in this cruel world. For shame, Earth. For shame.

PS – I don’t know why, but this made me think about Lawyers from Texas. And whenever I think about Lawyers from Texas, I think of our old (now disbarred) lawyer friend, Adam Reposa. Lawyer. Patriot. Champion.
