Scary Amateur Film Lands Makers In Jail
Woman Says She Was Not Playing Along
Five people face charges in connection with an amateur film made of an attack on a 19-year-old woman.
Danielle Taylor told police that she was attacked by a group of friends inside a Lapeer County home. She claims that she was bound, blindfolded and put into a car. She was then driven to a field where the suspects placed her into a shallow grave and partially buried her in dirt and snow, Local 4 reported.
During the trip to the field Taylor says that her life was threatened, Local 4 reported. When she got to the grave site, the suspects said that they were going to bury her alive.
Then the group, which included four men and a woman, explained that they were filmmakers, and the tape shows that introductions were made of the actors seen on camera in the film.
Taylor appears at the end of the tape and one of the participants asked how she felt.
"I survived, and I'm freezing and my arms hurt," Taylor said. She later took a tape of the film to the Michigan State Police.
The film crew claims that Taylor was a willing participant in the film. But she denies that she was playing a part.
The suspects face charges ranging from kidnapping and assault to conspiracy.
Four of the suspects have been in the Lapeer County Jail for weeks on $500,000 bond.
A lawyer for one of the defendants asked the judge to excuse herself after she called the videotape the most "sadistic, repulsive thing" that she's ever seen, according to Local 4.
"I did not want this to be all about publicity. I'm only interested in seeing justice served. I'm looking forward to my day in court to testify," Taylor said in a statement.
The two sides are scheduled to be in court next month, Local 4 reported.
