American in custody for wanting to kill a child!
This past Friday, an American young man was reported of having pressured a girl into getting an abortion. They were seen Friday afternoon at Bar Madrid by the train station just outside Madrid and later at the train station itself. Eyewitnesses tell us that they saw the American and the girl drinking beer at the bar, where after they proceeded to go outside waiting for the train. They were talking in loud voices, with the American the loudest, and even though the word ‘abortion’ was not mentioned, it was still very clear that this was what they were talking about. It was obvious to the eyewitnesses that the girl was hesitant and had not yet decided which decision she was going to make. A source tells us that the relationship between the American and the girl had long been on the rocks and what happened is, therefore, not surprising.
After eyewitnesses had called the police, the American was taken into custody and is now awaiting his verdict. Sources close to the victim tells us that she is doing seemingly fine. No comment has yet been received on whether or not she decides to go through with the abortion.
He'd never get convicted, though, on the basis of hear-say - unless she can be brought to testify against him (as in an episode of Law & Order)...
ReplyDeleteNice in(ter)vention!
I know, which is why I intended it to be humorous - as it seems kind of ridiculous that he would get convicted.
