According to a report on ABC News’ website:
The 44-year-old jail teacher
arrested in connection with the escape of three maximum-security inmates at a
California lockup will be released today, Orange County Prosecutor Tony
Rackauckas said in a news conference.
“At this time, there is
insufficient evidence to charge her with any crime," Rackauckas said of
Nooshafarin Ravaghi.
She's being released on her own
recognizance, although required to turn in her passport until the investigation
is complete, officials said.
While the story isn’t getting much play in the news
aggregators, it did show up on Newsy this morning. The Newsy footage shows
Ravaghi leaving the jail, accompanied by a middle aged male who seems to be her
lawyer. The pair decline to make any statements. As they walk to the car
Ravaghi is surrounded by reporters and camera operators (all walking backward).
We hear one particularly annoying reporter, who is sticking a microphone just
below Ravaghi’s face, asking the obvious question. “Did you do it?”
Please. What kind of idiot do you think this teacher is? The
Sheriff has been unable to find evidence that actually links her to the escape
of three inmates. She has denied any involvement. Do you really think that she
is going to announce her complicity to you while she’s making the “Reverse Perp
Walk?” Get serious and do real journalism. Stop harassing people! It is this kind
of TMZ catcall journalism that brings the profession into low reputed with the
public.
