If I were a juror, the only question I'd ask is "which works better, aluminum or good old fashioned wood?", and then I'd retire to the nearest bar to buy the lady a drink!
While you are doing that, there is a lesbian that was tortured in Nebraska by three white christian conservative (heck likely one of the people on FR) that would also like to have a drink bought for her.
You see, she also had a terrible crime allegedly committed against her too based on an accusation.
Evidence, and a fair trial, are so passe in 2012 especially if you are a kid , black or gay.
So a kid says the coach touched him inappropriately and you are wondering what is the best kind of bat to savagely assault someone with. You also as a juror you have no problem deciding upon guilt or innocence based on an accusation that has not been proven. I try to be optimistic about the future of our country and humans in general, but people like you make it very difficult.
A few years ago, near were I live, a girl accused her music teacher of sexually abusing her because she was bored with playing the piano and wanted to stop going to the lessons. Fortunately, her parents decided to confront the teacher before going to the police, and in the process, the girl confessed to making the whole thing up as an excuse to get her parents to stop sending her to the lessons.
I can however, see how other kids who had dug themselves into a similar hole might have taken it to trial because they realised that they would be in for a world of hurt by owning up to the truth once it had reached a certain stage.
