ABSTRACT
And even my husband was petrified. My husband said, “Let’s go inside.” He was trying to get me to come inside and away from the scene, but I said, “No.” I said, “We have to stay here and watch because this is wrong.” And he was just petrifiedhe grew up in another country where this is prevalent, police abuse is prevalent in Mexicoso we stayed and we watched the whole thing. And I was scheduled to testify and I was kind of upset at the outcome, because I had a lot to say and I was just very upset and I, um, I had received a subpoena and I told the prosecutor, “When do you want me to go?” He says, “I’ll call you later and I’ll give you a time.” And the time came and went and he never called me, so I started calling him. I said, “Well, are you going to call me or not?” And he says, “I can’t really talk to you and I don’t think we’re going to be using you because it contradicts what Melanie Singer said.” And I faxed him a letter and I told him that those officers were going to be acquitted and one by one I explained these things to him in this letter and I told him, “If you do not put witnesses, if you don’t put one resident and testify to say what they saw,” And I told him in the letter that those officers were going to be acquitted. But I really believe that he was dead set on that video and that the video would tell all, but, you see, the video doesn’t show you where those officers went and assaulted Rodney King at the beginning. You see that? And I was so upset. I told my coworker, I said, “I had a terrible dream that those guys were acquitted.” And she goes “Oh no, they’re not gonna be acquitted.” She goes, “You, you,
you know, don’t think like that.” I said, “I wasn’t thinking I had a dream!” I said, “Look at this, they were, they were acquitted.” Yeah, I do have dreams that come true, but not as vivid as that one. I just had this dream and I saw the men and it was in the courtroom and I just had it in my heart… something is happening and I heard they were acquitted Because dreams are made of some kind of indelible substance. And my co-worker said, “You shouldn’t think like this,” and I said, “I wasn’t thinking it was a dream.” And that’s all, and it came to pass.
