46-Year-Old Mother From Atlanta Locked Up For 2 Months Because She Had The Same Name!

"An Atlanta woman is trying to get her life back together after she was mistakenly put behind bars for nearly two months. In a sequence of events that Teresa Culpepper's attorney, Ashleigh Merchant, calls "crazy," officers arrested Culpepper after she reported her truck missing. Police thought she was another Teresa who was wanted for allegedly pouring boiling water over her boyfriend's face. It took 53 days for the legal system to acknowledge that Teresa Culpepper wasn't Teresa Gilbert. "She was a black Teresa. That's all they had in common," Merchant told CBS Atlanta. Gilbert is 5- foot-10 — taller than Culpepper — and has 30 pounds on her. They have different addresses and birthdays. It took Culpepper's public defender to bring in the alleged victim, who said police arrested the wrong person"
