Daily Times Reporter Called Out By WBI, (Wicomico Bureau of Investigation)

Last week the Daily Times reported that Jocori Scarborough had been seen grabbing and dragging his victim on video, NOT TRUE.

“There is nothing captured on video that shows any of the physical portion of the case that we’re investigating,” Sgt. David Owens of the Wicomico Bureau of Investigation said.

Say what you need to say to SELL PAPERS and then use one of your slowest days, (Monday) to say you made a mistake. Now that's marketing!

Cameras are on every cell phones in the Country..perhaps there was evidence that cannot be shared in a criminal investigation

You media screws up police investigations and lies to the public? I'm shocked.

Be assured that the defendant's defense attorney will use this as a defense, claiming that the defendant was unfairly convicted in the court of public opinion previous to his actual trial because of this bad reporting by The Times. It may end up that the defense attorney will ask for a change of venue, taking the trial out of Wicomico County, based upon not being able to get an unbiased jury.

One of the two either lied or just did not know what they were talking about. This needs to be looked into somebody screwed up. Who cares if they get a change of venue. It is about justice and the facts period. The State's Attorney's office needs to prosecute cases and stop pleaing everything out.

Strange as the correction was on the frontpage of Saturday's paper at my house. If you think that is the only reason the defense will want a change of venue then it is a good thing you aren't a lawyer.

11:53 They are only as good as the cases presented to them. I agree they do plea many cases. Maybe less time at crime scenes and more time prepping for court is needed. Why did they let P. Montemuro go. The guy worked his butt off. I had a ton of faith in that office but I am losing it quick.

David Owens has officially become Jocori's best defense.I said it the day after it happened;the incident would be downgraded constantly until the court date.I just never realized until now that law enforcement would be the key player.Someone in the media would have been the sacrificial lamb.In this case the DT's was the ideal & most convenient vehicle.Don't believe this crap for a minute.HE DRUG HER DOWN THE HALL.Don't believe otherwise.
