Wendy Kozma tells a different story.
Here, according to Kozma, a police incident report and surveillance video obtained by the Free Press, is what happened that day:
Jodi, who was born with a condition that deprived her brain of oxygen and left her mentally impaired, had gone on a shopping trip to Wal-Mart with her grandmother. After checking out, two plainclothes Wal-Mart security officers surrounded Jodi in the lobby and accused her of stealing merchandise.
Unbeknownst to Jodi, she was being monitored in the store by a surveillance camera operator who said she had footage of Jodi picking up hair pieces and concealing them in her purse or in her waistband.
