Alabama Attorney Eric Guster Says Carlee Russell Should Be Arrested For Lying To Cops

An Alabama attorney believes Carlee Russell should be in jail after information revealed on Wednesday disputed last week’s supposed kidnapping of the Alabama woman.

Eric Guster, a former criminal defense attorney turned personal injury lawyer, was captivated by the national news of Russell disappearing that occurred near his home, but has since changed his opinion in the matter when police released more information over the last three days.

“She said she was kidnapped, and a kidnapping didn’t happen. Our citizens are safe, there’s not a kidnapper out there,” Guster told WVTM 13. “So they use every other synonym for lie except saying she lied.”

Earlier this week, Hoover Police found no evidence of a child wandering along I-459 — a claim Russell made to police the night she disappeared.

Guster, who is currently the managing partner for the Guster Law Firm in Birmingham, Alabama, says Russell’s “kidnapping” will make it harder for others who go missing, as public trust has gone down for similar cases, especially for certain races.

“It’s going to be much more difficult for African American women to be believed and it may actually decrease the number of actual reports of things because people are already afraid that they won’t be believed,” said Guster.
