That's been my opinion of her up til now. Probably because i agreed with her assessment on other cases (i.e. Scott Peterson). But in most cases there are not so many doubts about the accusations of the accuser. In this particular Duke case, i don't see how anyone can still stick their neck out for this woman.
I agree, which is why I don't understand her position on this case. She's a victims' advocate, and God knows victims do indeed need advocates within our criminal justice system, especially children, so I think her response in this case has been strictly knee-jerk. She's not a dummy so the only possible explanation is that she will not step out of her role as an advocate for victims. What she isn't looking at is the damage women like Mangum do to real rape victims. Murphy would be wise to step back a little, lower the decibels, and watch the case objectively for awhile before commenting again.
