Oh believe me, nothing passes the smell test in this case. In fact the more I read, the more confused I get. The DNA results and the DA's refusal to let go makes me extremely angry. So does the fact that he was reelected.
I sincerely hope that the defense has a big ol' rabbit to pull out of their hats. Not only do I want those men exonerated, I want it done publicly, and I want heads to roll!
PS: someone brought up Abner Louima on one of these threads. I highly doubt he was smiling and talking into a cell phone after being sodomized. In fact, he had to undergo surgery for his injuries. If something like this had happened to AV, the hospital would have had to admit her. This story does not only not pass the test, it gets a big fat F!
Doesn't pass the smell test is absolutely right. The AV has a long history of accusing, of abusing, and of bizarre behaviors. I love how she's painted as some victim, when it's clear to anyone who has been paying attention there's no way in the world the attack could have happened as she said. Most bathrooms you'd have trouble with 4 adults merely standing in it at the same moment, muchless using a broom and assaulting a 200 pound woman.
