What was that "did not return her to a safe place" about?
LOL. But will it get more interesting today or should I do some real cleaning today to be ready for tomorrow :-)
Since when does sympathy and constitutional rights have anything to do with each other? Who said give them an unfair trial? All I meant was, those shopping around for a poor, hapless victim have PLENTY of other places to look than to these chumps.
Really.
Those who swore out affidavits that led to the indictments might be subject to civil liability und 42 US Code Section 1983, 1985. If the DA gave legal advice to the cops in this matter, he might also be liable. If the cops had access to evidence of the innocense of the individuals and refused to look at it, they could be civilly liable based on deliberate indifference.
They might also have a civil rights claim against the city.
There is no DNA connecting them. Zip. Nada.
She says she fought off 3 guys for a half hour and you think there wouldn't be DNA under her fingernails? At least.
From what I've heard, the men were pissed at the brevity of the show and the woman's demeaner; they responded with racial insults and possibly refused to pay the agreed amount, and the woman retaliated by making up this story. But this is a college lacrosee team, not a street gang or the mafia or the Clinton White House, and I think if a rape really occurred several of the players - not necessarily the perps - would have admitted it.
It will be interesting to see if the two suspects are discharged from school now. Even more interesting imo, if they aren't.
ROFL. I'll never, ever forget Rita the night she misreported the SCOTUS ruling in Gore v Bush. She's unwatchable, imo.
And it was reported upthread that she said the DNA tests were inconclusive. I've got rocks in the yard smarter than she is.
I'm confused...I thought the defense said they weren't there?
Who knows what about her nails? Maybe they were fake and popped off easy. Maybe they were short underneath and couldn't grip. Who Knows.
The president's actions have added to the media presumption of guilt that has been heaped upon these men. I still do not have a real opinion on what happened, but I think the way this has played in the media and the actions of people who should know better have been atrocious.
Thanks, maggie. Very interesting.
I could respond but instead will let the other Freepers who replied with common sense to have submitted an answer on my behalf. Thank-you Freeper Counsel!
The DNA found on the towels in the bathroom are from the residents of the house, not from the suspects.
And still not be able to identify the third---It's been a month..If somone had done all that she claims how would you not be able to identify?
******
correct
If this entire affair turns out to be a fabricated story on the dancer's part, the hurried and unwarranted dismantling of the lacrosse program should be immediately addressed and rectified. I can only guess how many prospective college students were counting on a lacrosse scholarship to help with expenses.
