A cop perjuring himself??!! This is a case that belongs on Ally McBeal.
DOYLESTOWN, Pa., — from www.trentonian.com – Suspected sex-for-tickets hooker Susan Finkelstein [pictured with her husband] this morning testified that a Bensalem cop lied about her not wearing panties when she open her legs like that scene in the movie “Basic Instinct.’’
Finkelstein, on trial for allegedly offering her body for tickets to the World Series, said “yes” when Deputy District Attorney Steve Jones asked her if the cops “fabricated’’ what they say happened at a rendezvous to arrange the exchange.
Charged with promoting prostitution, Finkelstein also told the jury she never flashed open her legs or specifically spoke about giving sex for tickets as she sat at a bar in the Neshaminy Mall with the undercover cop sent in to pose as the ticket holder.
She said all they talked about were pet dogs and friends.
A character witness also testified that Finkelstein, 43, is a good person who wouldn’t do the things cops said she did after a Bensalem officers answered the proposition she allegedly first made on the Internet Web site Craigslist.
The jury is expected to get the case for deliberation later this afternoon, after Judge Albert Cepparulo gives them his instructions.
from www.kyw1060.com -As her trial in Bucks County wraps up, the Philadelphia woman accused of offering to trade sexual favors for tickets to last year’s World Series took the stand on Thursday morning to tell her side of the story.
Susan Finkelstein says that her suggestive ad on the web site “Craig’s List” was a spur-of-the-moment decision designed to find two tickets to see her beloved Phillies.
She called the ad “funny with a sexual slant designed to make it stand out,” aimed at getting a man who had tickets to respond.
The 44-year-old woman denied an undercover officer’s account that she told him she was a prostitute and was willing to do anything for the tickets, and denied she exposed herself inside a restaurant near the Neshaminy Mall.
She clearly said that e-mailing topless photos of herself to the man who contacted her was not good judgment. She says their conversation was mainly small talk with a flirtatious aspect to it — after all, she says, she was hoping to score tickets to the game.
The jury expected to begin deciding the case on Thursday afternoon.
