One more news outlet reacted to the infamous "press release" today:
The entire fiasco was AWFUL, but I think in general it all worked out? Maybe made the public more sympathetic?
Crazy lady showed the general public just how devastated, alone & DESPERATE Saniyya's family was to be SEEN &heard.
Heard they are hiring an attorney now.
Her sister has a WARRIOR spirit... !
BIG MOOD!!!
We should all be so lucky
‘Shock, disbelief and betrayal’: Family of Saniyya Dennis refutes DAs suicide allegations
The family of 19-year-old Buffalo State College student and Bronx native Saniyya Dennis says she’s alive and are refuting that she committed suicide as stated by a district attorney.
Again, many of the arguments made in the press release have been debunked earlier here and elsewhere, yet the author (so-called spokesperson for the family) ignored/blocked any criticism backed up with facts and sent it to the media anyway. IMO the family has been misled by opportunists with less than honorable intentions.
Example of claims, published in the article that were taken from the press release:
As far as allegations that she was texting her boyfriend, Dennis’ family said she didn’t have one. She was seeing someone she met in late 2020 who attends Pace University, which is six hours from Buffalo State College. The family said the two were not serious enough for Dennis to commit suicide and that it would be out of her character.
So they are even disputing that there was a break-up. I guess the texts and the FBI interview with the boyfriend aren't proof enough or her 70 attempts to reach him. She also told multiple other people about the break-up.
The attorney representing the family was disbarred in 2019 for unethical behavior.
