The story goes like this. You see, there were these two guys, they were in jail in Dubuque Iowa. The one guy, Michael Kelley Jr, 29, in for attempted murder, was swapping stories with the other guy, inmate Jamie Brimeyer, 34.

Kelley asked Brimeyer about his facial scar. Brimeyer started to tell the story of how he’d been stabbed in the cheek by an unknown assailant in 2005. Kelley realized that he was the one who had stabbed him and recalled the incident so well that he corrected some of Brimeyer’s recollections.

As a result Brimeyer ended up reporting Kelley as his former assailant, and Kelley is now charged with assault with a dangerous weapon on top of his attempted murder charges.

I guess he’s lucky that Brimeyer didn’t turn on him and try to get pay back for the orginal scarring. Well he did get pay back but it could have been done with violence.
