Crime Novels, in Real Life

The New York Times calls it "A Revenge Plot So Intricate the Prosecutors Were Pawns."

They say it's "one of the most bizarre" cases in New York's history.

Queens district attorney, Richard A. Brown, says that "In the collective memory, no one has ever seen anything like this before."

What do you think?

Read the story of Seemona Sumasar, who says that her ex-boyfriend framed her for a rampaging series of armed robberies, to get revenge for her refusing to drop rape charges against him.

This is the stuff of legends and crime novels, kids.  Only in real life, and affecting real people.

  1. Some part of me actually hopes that, in a shocking twist, she paid the fake accusers to pretend that the boyfriend had paid them to falsely accuse her of armed robbery and then had committed the robberies herself.
