This is one of the sickest, saddest things I've ever read. God rest her poor soul.
If anyone has a more complete report, please post for discussion.

Is Kobe's lawyer going to claim she had sex with three other men?

A very sad bump
To: Rutles4Ever
I suggest the suicide reason wasn't necessarily or entirely because she had been raped. Quite possible that she realized that the future would only bring more of the same....
Tragic. Prayers being said.

I shudder when I think of the father's Judgement Day.

Can you imagine being so violently betrayed by the one person you should trust as an 11 year-old? The level of despair must have been crushing. I pray she was taken straight to heaven. She's just a child!

The same thing happened in our neighborhood about 5 years ago, when an 11 year old girl shot herself after ongoing raping by her "father."
There is justice, only in many cases we don't see it, and these "fathers" will endure a torment our words cannot describe.

I am so sick of the Kobe situation.
Basically we are seeing OJ part 2.
They throw out the sacrifical lamb in Mackey to slay the victim.
The big guns will be out shortly.
Kobe is now a slave to his lawyers in order to not be convicted.
Lawyers (not all but most) are beyond pond scum. More like the residual after pond scum ....

Given the limited information, I have two questions;
1. Do you think the father is insane?
2. Do you think the death penalty for this scumbag is appropriate?
I would say yes to both, you?
To: Fierce Allegiance
Reading the details gives a different picture. Especially his confession and the lack of evidence of rape.

This was posted to a NG .:
"Timothy Lucie, 46, was arraigned Tuesday on charges of rape and sodomy. Lucie told police he raped the girl in the shower after threatening to cut her hair unless she did what she was told, authorities said. Its a case that leaves you numb, Sgt. Tom Connellan said. Lucie recanted after meeting with his lawyer, Raymond Dague, who said Lucie gave the statement only after police told him he failed a lie detector test and threatened to take away his four other children. The girl left no note, and her death has not officially been ruled a suicide. Medical examiners found no evidence of chronic sexual abuse, said District Attorney William Fitzpatrick."
I don't know what to believe at this point.

There are several conclusions written in the article that are not supported with known information.
He may be guilty, but he may also be the victim of an over zelious media and police department.
If he's not guilty, he has been forever smeared.
http://www.democratandchronicle.com/news/1016IE23A4N_rape_news.shtml FROM THE ARTICLE:
No charges have been filed in the girl's death.
Lucie called DeRoo a few days after his daughter's death and said the hanging had been ruled an accident.
Medical examiners could find no evidence of chronic sexual abuse, and the Sept. 30 rape appears to be an isolated incident, District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said.
Connellan and Chief Assistant District Attorney Rick Trunfio declined to comment Wednesday about any possible DNA evidence in the case.

Perhaps we should wait a bit before condeming the father, thanks for the link.
Prosecutors said Timothy Lucie confessed to the crime during an interrogation Monday night, but he later recanted that statement after talking with a lawyer.
Medical examiners could find no evidence of chronic sexual abuse, and the Sept. 30 rape appears to be an isolated incident, District Attorney William Fitzpatrick said.
Dague said that Lucie gave the written statement only after police told him he failed a lie detector test and threatened to take away his other four children if he didnt confess.
Connellan and Chief Assistant District Attorney Rick Trunfio declined to comment Wednesday about any possible DNA evidence in the case.

Yes, the mere fact that the cops "claim he confessed" then later recanted could be just trying to strongarm someone into confessing out of fear of having their other kids taken. It could also be pure B.S. to spoon feed a grand jury to get the judge to bind over the case. Cops regularly use innocent statements taken WAY out of context to claim "he confessed" etc.
OTOH, if he did do it then he will get his just reward, every day for the rest of his miserable life.

SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- An 11-year-old girl apparently hanged herself in her bedroom after being raped by her father earlier in the day, police said.
Valerie Charlene Lucie was found dead on Sept. 30. Timothy Lucie, 46, was charged Tuesday with rape and sodomy and released Wednesday on $35,000 bond.
Lucie told police he raped the girl in the shower after threatening to cut her hair unless she did what she was told, authorities said.
Lucie recanted after meeting with his lawyer, Raymond Dague, who said Lucie gave the statement only after police told him he failed a lie detector test and threatened to take away his four other children.
The defense attorney said that Lucie is wrongly accused, and that Lucie's wife does not believe the charges.
The girl's death has not officially been ruled a suicide. Lucie came under suspicion after an autopsy revealed physical signs that Valerie had been sexually abused before her death, according to court documents.

Biological or stepfather? It's VERY common with stepfathers.
Watcg freepers deny that fact or suggest she raped herself. In the eyes of some no male can a wrong. It's always the females fault.
