Sadly, it is SOP for AmeriKan justice:
"Lawyer says Aaron Hernandez fiancée abused by DA" by John R. Ellement | Globe Staff, September 30, 2013
The attorney for Shayanna Jenkins accused Bristol County prosecutors Monday of using “abusive’’ legal tactics in an effort to pressure Jenkins into providing information against her fiance Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriots player who is accused of orchestrating the murder of Odin L. Lloyd in June.
Jenkins, 24, who has a child with Hernandez and who began dating him when both were high school students in Bristol, Conn., was indicted last week by a Bristol County grand jury on a single count of perjury.
Under state law, Jenkins faces up to 20 years in prison on charges of lying before the grand jury, lawyers said. If she is accused of perjury during a murder trial, she could face a life sentence, lawyers said....
She should have dated a banker instead.
