Soon after Seemona Sumasar started dating Jerry Ramrattan, she had an inkling that something might be wrong.

He said he was a police detective, but never seemed to go to work. He seemed obsessed with “C.S.I.,” “Law & Order” and other television police dramas.

About a year after he moved into her house in Queens, their relationship soured. One day, he cornered her, taped her mouth and raped her, she said. Mr. Ramrattan was arrested.

3. in real life, unlike the movies

the police don't see diabolical plots like this.

Truth is, most criminals fall into the category of "America's Dumbest Criminals."

And even this plot wasn't all that great. For example, she had an alibi!! A freaking alibi and they still didn't believe her!!

Even worse, they interpreted the Florida registration scenario to suit their own purposes.
