Comment: The inability by many police officers to recount an incident is painfully obvious once any half-decent lawyer gets through with cross- examination. It's a wonder criminals get convicted as often as they do.

Her last assignment, in the late '80s, was at the Police Academy teaching the recruits how to fill out the various reports and logs used by the department. Her running "joke" about the job was that she was teaching English to Boston high school graduates because she quickly discovered that over half of the recruits each class did not have the language skills to write a coherent description of an incident.
