Reuben Foster’s ex-girlfriend under oath recants statement during preliminary hearing

Fooch’s update: You can continue following the Twitter feed down at the bottom, but a lunch-time recess until 1:30 p.m. PT means time for an update. Foster’s ex-girlfriend testified that in 2011 she falsely accused another ex-boyfriend of domestic violence and spent time in jail for the false accusation. That is kind of big in this case. Additionally, the police detective who was investigating the case admitted Foster’s ex-girlfriend recanted her statement two days after the arrest, but he acknowledged never following up on her claim of the fight with another woman. Finally, he testified that the guns found at Foster’s home had been legally purchased in Alabama.
