WI v. Jeffrey Dahmer (1992): Officer John Balcerzak

Watch the FULL TRIAL of WI v. #JeffreyDahmer (1992) on #CourtTV Trials #OnDemand www.courttv.com/trials/wi-v-dahmer-1992/

[@janes6894]

In the subtitle it states, “He reported to Dahmer's apartment with officer Joseph Gabrish after Tracy Edwards escaped”. This is not true. The officers that went to Dahmer’s apt with Edwards were Robert Rauth and Rolf Mueller. Balcerzak and Gabrish were only involved with the Sinthasomphone incident.

I am strongly pro-first responders. I regularly defend police officers who are broadly maligned for the actions of a few. But this is different. There is no defending an officer who takes the word of a man who clearly perpetrated violence against a victim (regardless of age) who can’t even give his full side of the story because of his mental state after having a hole drilled into his head. If someone is staggering around naked with blood on them and a victim of any form of abuse, you don’t discount and dismiss the event because you perceive it to be a lovers’ quarrel. An ambulance should have been called at the very least. This guy failed the victim, the victim’s family, future victims, and the entire community. He SHOULD regret his actions every day of his life. And if he does not, then may God find no mercy upon his judgement day.
