Fischer's Story
Bobby Fischer is back in the news but it has nothing to do with chess. He has been living in Pasadena, Calif., for about 10 years now. This summer he was picked up by the local police. Apparently Fischer was walking down the street when the police stopped and questioned him.
It seems he resembled the description of a bank robber. Although it turned out to be a case of mistaken identity, the police took him in due to his attitude. Tired of answering the same questions over and over again, he told them: “I'm not answering any more questions. If you want to arrest me, arrest me — that's it.”
Fischer claims he was choked, beaten and kept naked in an unfurnished cell for 47 hours before being charged with interfering with a police officer and damaging jail property.
