I think the only reason the DA is prosecuting this case is that he used it as a means of getting re-elected and now feels obligated to prosecute as he promised in his campaign regardless of the merit of the case.<br>Sam<br>ps Thanks for not writing about food in this post.

Makes me wonder what kind of "evidence" the D.A. had to convience a grand jury to indite them. Something just doesn't add up. Is the D.A. crazy?

But after this long... it looks like a girl crying wolf, and knowing rape survivors myself, it pisses me off. Rape isn't a joke. Rape isn't something to be taken lightly. You don't cry rape like you cry "he took my doll" when you're little. And people who DO make false accusations like this are in my opinion worse than the rapists, because they make rape nonchalant.<br><br>Good entry Mrs L.<br><br>~LilyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7516392886578064543.post-36375174435560774532006-05-15T22:26:00.000-05:002006-05-15T22:26:00.000-05:00OK, I'll draw a correlation between this case ...OK, I'll draw a correlation between this case and the sad case of the UCLA basketball player who was murdered in a traffic altercation at 3:30 am over the weekend. <br><br>Yes it is unfortunate that they were accused and he died. But you know why most people run into less trouble that high profile athletes? Because most people aren't out running around at 3:30 am. I think these Duke kids put themselves in this situation by hiring strippers in the first place. They opened themselves up for this.<br><br>Guilty of a crime? Probably not. Guilty of poor judgement?

I don't know a whole lot about this case, but I do know that there's no quicker or more complete way to destroy a man's reputation than to accuse him of rape. The charges may eventually be dropped, but in many people's minds, he is still ' the rapist. ' If her accusations are false, I can't imagine a worse thing to do to another human being.
