Wow
I have a stepbrother doing 5 years in a VA State Prison for date rape.
When my sister said he was in prison for rape but swears he did not do it, I thought "Yeah right, that's what they all say." His dad married my mom after I had married and left home..there was no close emotional bond, no emotional prejudice towards believing him.
After reading some of the transcripts and the motion for a new trial I could not believe anyone would be convicted with such a flimsy case.
He lived in Harrionsburg, had a girl over one night and they had sex. Took her back to the dorm the next morning and waiting for her was her boyfriend.
He was not even charged until a year later. His mistake was that he did not take this seriously...I think he got his lawyer from the phone book based on legal fees instead of experience.
She claimed a date rape drug, but how in the hell she remembered all of those details (Lord, they did things I never knew exsisted) if she was drugged is beyond me. Her theory was the drug was in the glass of water she asked for. BTW, she had the wherewithall to take her contact lenses out before the sex, drugged no less.
Forensics? Their evidence makes Nifong's look like it was processed at Quantico.
My theory (and I went from not believing him to believing him based on the court records) is that her boyfriend, er, fiance, demanded an explanation and she did what av did, lied like a rug.
He was arrested one year later and went to trial about 6-9 months after. In that time, she had convinced herself it had happened. She was a psychology major at Bridgewaterat the time and now lives in Baltimore.
The motion for a new trial was denied and someone advised him to serve out his time because an appeal would take longer than his sentence and would cost him a fortune.
(Thank God he is in about as safe a prison as can be-nothing like Lorton)
No one in the family has any doubts about his innocence and we are known for being brutally honest with each other at times.
When I say she has convinced herself her story is true, I say it meaning "That bitch actually believes her lies." I am truly angry. But my family has this thing with anger so with a sigh they say "It is so obvious she is lying, but she believes what she is saying."
LOL, that is when I shake my head and wonder if they found me in the pumpkin patch, could we possibly share the same DNA? Anger is a normal emotion, you don't "get over it" you resolve it.
But yes, regardless of what the Nancy Graces and Wendy Murphy's of this world say, women lie. Women lie about rape. The human condition being what it is when someone's back is against the wall they will do one of 2 things, tell the truth or lie. And we all know not everyone choses truth.
yes. In reading on the subject (which at one time I had zero interest) many false reports are made to get attention from a man. Or like Tawanna Brawley to explain a consensual experience.
Taking the documents and reading them closely is the best way to go. Examine the evidence yourself
