…impressive until this.
God, this galls me. They were not exonerated. They were definitely guilty of gangrape. They were convicted for helping hold the victim down, not for actually having sex with her themselves. The DNA from the guy who did was the only DNA found because he’s the only one who went that far, but helping hold a victim down, beating her unconscious, is participating in a gangrape. And these boys were confessing before the cops even knew there WAS a woman. That this whole thing has been ret-conned into “they had nothing to do with it” makes me sick.
Not something you’d want to brag about.
