"I don't think I would call them "boys", or feel that sorry for them."
2 of the accused were 19 at the time of the accusation.
Would you prefer I call them teenagers as opposed to boys?
These boys have been accused of a serious crime and one of the main contentions of the defense is that at least 2 have strong alibi's that state they were not at the party!
Yet, you offer no sympathy for these 3 who have been slandered and whose reputations have been damaged based on the say-so of an accuser who is truth challenged.
I would not want to be in their shoes, no doubt about it. And yes, shock of shockers, the real world isn't "fair". who'd a thought?
But these were not innocents playing Canasta. These guys were an accident waiting to happen. and crime or not, it blew up on them.
