And Hill has evidence in her favor. Officer Holtzclaw friended her on Facebook, sent her text messages and called her on the phone. But, what does it all mean?

January 22, 2020 19 | Daniel Holtzclaw: Rosetta Grate Allegations

January 15, 202018 | Daniel Holtzclaw: Lots Of Liars
Bates Investigates, Season One, "In Defense of Daniel Holtzclaw." Episode 18: Lots of Liars.
Investigative Timeline - August 22, 2014: In this episode, Oklahoma City patrol officer Daniel Holtzclaw has been arrested and is being held on a $5-million cash bond. At the same time his arrest is breaking news around the country. With the news comes a flood of accusers, many of which not even the prosecutors are willing to believe. This episode takes a closer look at a couple of those accusers: Shaneice Barksdale, Shakara Walker and Terry Roy Dunn Sr.
Barksdale was the only admitted false accuser, out of at least 8, that was ever charged with a crime. She was later convicted of making a false police report. Dunn was the only male to admittedly make a false report against officer Holtzclaw.
You will also hear from Oklahoma City Police Chief Bill Citty, in news reports regarding officer Holtzclaw's arrest.

Bates Investigates, Season One, "In Defense of Daniel Holtzclaw." Episode 16

During the interview, you hear Det. Gregory mention the police procedure called 'The Clasp and Shake.'
Is it this humiliating police procedure that so many of the accusers are referencing when they claim they are made to expose themselves?
Listen to all the facts and decide for yourself, was justice served, or was justice denied?
