Dozens of professors and faculty members rallied around a 61-year-old janitor at the University of Southern California who they said was falsely accused of stealing a student's backpack, and now they're trying to get her reinstated.
For more than two decades, Francisca Trigueros had worked as a janitor in the Seely Mudd Building at USC, which home to the university's psychology department. Many in the department were floored when they learned that the 61-year-old janitor was handcuffed, arrested and promptly fired last month. Trigueros was accused of stealing a student's backpack that was stuffed with a sizable amount of cash.
According to several professors who work in the building, Trigueros found the backpack in an unlocked classroom. She usually turned lost items in at the main psychology office, but the woman who staffs the office said she was on vacation that week.
Only in L.A. can you be arrested for not stealing, while actual criminal act with impunity. This lady deserves an apology and USC should be ashamed.
This story should be retweeted over and over and someone should a petition on their arse. USC
