SAVE E-lert: NBA Player Cunningham's False Accuser May Go Free

Submitted by Matt on Thu, 2014-11-06 13:09

We're taught as children to always tell the truth, but this lesson must have escaped NBA player Dante Cunningham's girlfriend and Hennipen County Attorney Mike Freeman.

Six months ago Dante Cunningham's girlfriend of eight months, Miryah Herron, accused him of beating her, and Cunningham was arrested by police. Three days later, Dante was charged with violating a protective order by calling and Skyping Herron from his hotel room. However, police found that Cunningham Herron had sent the messages to herself to frame Cunningham.

Despite finding the claims false, the county's attorney refuses to bring charges against Herron for a false police report, which would hold Herron accountable for her actions and clear Cunningham's name. Instead, teams are turning down Cunningham because of this; his model career-effectively ruined.

This isn't right, and is sending the message that partners can levy the weight of the criminal justice system against the other through lies, without consequences.

Today, we're asking you to call Hennipen County Attorney Mike Freeman and ask him to charge Herron for filing a false police report. Lying about domestic violence isn't funny, and it needs to stop.

Call: (612) 460-7595 or email DA Mike Freeman at mikefreemanhca-at-gmail.com.

A known liar should not get government protection. Help us demand answers now.

Yours in the fight,

what does that cost now, couple hundred $$? and prosecutors won't even do that.

society not only has no intention of protecting men from women, they will shame men and do whatever is required (make laws) to make sure women get whatever they want.

isn't there a provision in the v.a.w.a. giving any female who claims to be abused support/$$ for a couple years, no matter what anybody else claims she has done?

does she get put on some sort of shaming list like men do?

does she typically get charged w/ crimes? heck, only recently have women even been charged for sexually assaulting children; and, even now seldom get any hard time. it really depends on how pretty they are.
