Stop Snitchin’: The saga continues

In today’s episode of Stop Snitchin’: The Series, the main characters are a 18-year-old girl and her father.

The girl, Taniesha Wiggins, had given a detailed account of the shooting of 10-year-old Faheem Thomas-Childs to police. But, naturally, since this is Stop Snitchin’, when she takes the stand it’s a different story:

Just as Taniesha Wiggins was about to take the stand yesterday as the first prosecution witness in the 2004 murder of 10-year-old Faheem Thomas-Childs - a case that has become a symbol of the city’s problem with witness intimidation - she asked to see her father, who was motioning to her.

He leaned over and spoke, sotto voce, to Wiggins, 18: “Just remember to say what I told you to say: ‘I don’t remember.’ ”

And she did just that for about two hours - despite repeated reminders from Assistant District Attorney Jason Bologna about her sworn statements, in writing and on videotape, to Philadelphia police detectives.

Tune in next week when the police blame her change in testimony on a t-shirt. Same snitchin’ time, same snitchin’ channel!
