Well at least the stupid [female person] punished herself

[Ns1]

Bethany Storro told police an African-American woman threw acid in her face.

A Washington woman who told police that a stranger threw acid in her face admitted Thursday that her injuries were self-inflicted, authorities said.

Bethany Storro, 28, told Vancouver Police that an African-American woman passed her on the street and threw a cup of caustic liquid in her face the evening of August 30. She was released from an Oregon hospital on September 5 after undergoing surgery for her injuries after the alleged attack.

But discrepancies emerged during the investigation, Vancouver Police Chief Clifford Cook said in a press conference Thursday.

"Ms. Storro admitted her injuries were self-inflicted and the attack itself had not occurred as she had previously reported," he said.

Storro had credited a pair of sunglasses that she bought shortly before the attack with saving her eyesight. But details such as those led police to question her version of the attack, said police Commander Marla Schuman.

"It was all the little things that didnt quite add up," Schuman said.

Storro is still being interviewed by detectives. Prosecutors will decide whether to charge her, Schuman said.

"She is extremely upset," Schuman said. "She is very remorseful. It got bigger than she expected."

wouldn't surprise me if she held the cup of acid backwards and hit herself for some insurance scam that backfired.

hmmm profanity in topic...

Anyway attention is a big human need, some hurt others; some hurt themselves to get it.

 

[Narmer]

Typical that she blames an African-American.

 

[zinfamous]

Stirrer

NO NIK! DONT!

 

[BoomerD]

meh...that'll buff right out...just a couple of miles of asphalt and she'll never know about the acid burns. Nothing like a bit of road rash to make a person forget their problems.

 

[SKORPI0]

:\

 

[tcsenter]

With only second degree burns, depending on the substance used, she could come out of the deal with skin looking 15 years younger.

I suspected she may have done it to herself. Even told my mother I thought the whole thing was fishy.

 

[classy]

Man what kind of looney throws acid in their own face? Clearly she needs some help. Thats sad, it really is.

Religion, what else?

No seriously, it was religion I kid you not. She wanted to bring attention to her faith at the news conference. I'll try and find the news source now.

MSNBC: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/39221785/ns/us_news-crime_and_courts
"On her Facebook, Storro had said she canceled because the show might stray from the religious inspiration she to deliver."

MSNBC staff if you're reading this fire your proofreader lol.

Bitch should burn for this crap... oh wait...

 

[kevman]

This woman is clearly psychologically damaged...I hope that she gets help.

If I were going to commit insurance fraud, I would first investigate fraud schemes that did not involve burning off my own face!
