I don't recall this ever being discussed. This lady was accused of using a racial slur. She was charged with disorderly conduct and breach of peace.
Let's suppose this did occur. I don't understand how you can be charged with those crimes for using a racial slur.

Quote:
I never thought I'd end up in handcuffs and a jail cell for something I didn't say.
But last May, police in New Haven, Conn., arrested me because a parking attendant falsely claimed I had used a racial slur against him nearly a year earlier.
I denied it. I asked the cops to check the parking lot's surveillance video.
They didn't and the state charged me first with disorderly conduct, then with three counts of breach of peace in the second degree.
t took almost a year, tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees and endless stress before the nightmare ended on March 27, when the prosecutor finally dropped all charges.
Why? "Insufficient evidence," "inconsistencies," "credibility issues," video that "clearly contradicted" the accuser's claims and a possibility that I wasn't even the right person.
