About to testify against the man who raped her, and against another man who beat and kidnapped his girlfriend, Joy Blackman was found dead in an alley way. Authorities preliminarily ruled it accidental, and have now confirmed it to be an accident.
But Newsday's report today on the ruling raises eyebrows, quoting cops, investigators, and the medical examiner, who all think the death was suspicious.
I just wonder if the authorities would've treated this case differently, perhaps not have closed the book so quickly, had the woman not been homeless and a drug user. In any case, because of her death, all rape charges were dismissed against her attacker.
