Krista Perez, a Democrat running for a Washington state House seat, was arrested for DUI after allegedly causing a chain-reaction crash that damaged five vehicles. Police video shows her declining sobriety tests and later sobbing and praying in a patrol car.
Five-car crash, DUI arrest, tears on camera — sounds tidy. Where’s the toxicology report? The filed charges versus the perp walk? A 40-second clip of anyone sobbing in a back seat isn’t evidence of anything except that cops choose the angle. Show me the full footage, unedited, and the crash reconstruction. Otherwise it’s a press release with a soundtrack.
