Summary

Anjela Borisova Urumova, 20, received a 23-month prison sentence for falsely accusing Daniel Pierson of attempted rape and kidnapping in Pennsylvania, leading to his wrongful month-long incarceration.

Urumova pled guilty to seven misdemeanors, including filing false reports and fabricating evidence.

Investigators uncovered her lie after finding inconsistencies in surveillance footage. She admitted she targeted Pierson because she had seen him before.

Alongside jail time, she must pay $3,600 in restitution, undergo a mental health evaluation, and serve probation. Prosecutors warned the false claim damaged public trust and harmed real victims.

        Oh boy, people are just out here being confidently incorrect. Either you think the whole world is the US, or you don’t realize that the death penalty is outlawed in some states. Big dumb trying to act big smart.

        Depends. On where the murder was committed and the circumstances. For example, murdering 20 + brown people for no reason other than racist hate isn’t punishable by death. Whereas shooting one wealthy person who is responsible for untold deaths, pain, and misery by denying the victims medical most definitely is a death penalty offense.

            This is just blatantly untrue. A lot of places don’t even have the death penalty at all???

            I’m confused why you’re stuck on the death aspect of this. Asking why someone would deserve life in prison is also a solid question but you’re stuck on the death penalty… Which is banned in half of the world.

                No one is assuming, you just have bad reading comprehension coupled with an ego that doesn’t allow you to do the very thing you’re asking. I’m guessing (because you refuse to have an actual conversation like some ego filled boomer) that you think you’re cute and clever because “dying is a death sentence”, but you seem to miss the part where people said the “penalty of murder” not the “cost of being murdered.” Fuck you are dumb.

                Fantastic answer this clears up everything I’m so glad you commented and gave exactly what I was looking for. You’re so smart. The death penalty is everywhere in all places at all times. Death to those who aren’t death penalty. You so right.

                Also I’m assuming I watched Blade a bit ago
