I agree, but I think you are also falling prey to the piece-meal analysis on the news. Its not that that anyone "fact" cuts against her, its that there is literally all the evidence in its totality demonstrates that no crime ocurred. She claimed that the was violently beaten, strangled, robbed, raped orally, anally, vaginally for half an hour. This alleged horrific crime, denied by over forty people, left no trace. Even the so-called evidence on the fingernails undermines her claim. How could the boys commite this attack but leave no trace except on discarded nails, and those nails have the DNA on them of more than one person, and so they can't represent the attackers. All the "pro-prosecution" talking heads ever do is say how this thing or that thing can be explained away--the time stamps are forged, rape doesn't necessarily result in dna transfer etc. But the whole thing is mind boggling, it is fifty against one phony line up, dna against one phony line-up, cab driver and photos against one phony line-up and not a single talkign head has even positied a scenario that would fit with the known evidence.
Don't underestimate the power of leftists to believe in a lie. Big lies, gross lies, lies on stilts, they'll believe in it if it reinforces their own prejudices. Look at all the people who still believe in the Dan Rather memos. For that matter, look at all the leftist idiots who still believe in Marxist economic theory.
