One of the many things that bothers me is that Ted Williams today on Greta and others keep saying let it go trial. And Bernie's point was that the accuser said it happened therefore it has to go to trial. If the guys are innocent (I have yet to see evidence that even a rape occurred), the mental stress and financial burden it creates for the families is horrific.
I was surprised too. All it takes is an accuser? That's scary.
I'm stunned that Bernie Grimm said it should go to trial. He had been very strong for the defense side. Wow.
The standard for prosecuting a case is whether the prosecutor has a good faith belief that the case can be proven beyond a reasonable doubt. I don't see how Nifong could possibly believe he could prove his case unless he totally has his head in the sand.
It's more likely that he is going forward for political reasons and because he is stubborn and his ego is too big to admit he was wrong.
And yes, it's extremely unfair to the three players and their families. There's no way this case should be going forward and they shouldn't have to go through any of this for one more minute.
