Reversal 

Breed’s attorney Bill Lynch spoke with GoLocal in early April about his client’s appearance in court.

According to Lynch, the woman making the allegations and said she was taking back some of her statements. 

“We are adamant that Alyn will be found innocent of these allegations. I think the judge is doing the right thing looking at the evidence carefully,” Lynch told GoLocal.

 

Disputing Police

GoLocal reported the following on April 3 -- two days following the incident:

“'On their face, the allegations appear serious, but then you get to really transpired and what evidence supports the allegations, and then the fact the woman voluntarily appeared in court with her lawyer to say the reports of what transpired were not really what took place,'  said Lynch. 

Lynch said the judge Monday morning had said that the earliest he would have the parties back was April 7, but when the woman came to court Monday afternoon, he agreed to move things up sooner. 

'What [the woman] was saying, including in the report that was submitted today, was that she called the police the following day [following her initial police report on Saturday] and said I’ll be honest with you. I was highly intoxicated when this transpired and it’s not what happened,' said Lynch “I’m not going to say she lied [to police]. Alcohol is involved and people get upset and say things.'

'Breed never took her cell phone.  She on her own contacted the police department after the fact and said look, I was highly intoxicated, and she said I don’t want to pursue this and she said at no time was I in fear [of Breed] as a person,'" claimed Lynch.
