That is a good defense opening statement...
Actually, what the police did by sending a fake email was in violation of the law in many states.
Wait a minute, the girl is accusing 3 players out of 46!!! Up until today the cloud of suspicion was over ALL OF THEM. The damned the ENTIRE team, I can understand why the dad is upset.
Thank you, maggie. You've been great providing links.
"The DA admits they have no DNA. None. DNA isn't just semen. It's hair, saliva, etc. There is no evidence of a condom being used. There is no DNA. I don't know how to make it any clearer."
Ok, then I'll defer to you since you seem to know what all the evidence is that the DA has.
The defense attorneys are going to have a field day with the contradicting statements from Kim, the accuser's father, the promise of DNA by the DA and then zip. Nada. LOL
Where have I claimed to know what evidence the DA has? I'll wait while you show me.
What I've said, in response to posts about DNA, is that the DA himself admits he doesn't have ANY. I don't know what part of that you don't understand.
Are there any photographs showing her being given a drink that may have been drugged?
The timeframe for all of this just doesn't fit.
As some have pointed out, rapes have been prosecuted for centuries without DNA evidence. However, the logic in this argument is totally invalid. The fact that science was unable to test for DNA evidence, didn't mean that it wasn't present. Even with a condom, there is going to be some DNA evidence (pubic hairs, etc.).
That's right, mystery. She identified the boys last week. 3 weeks after the incident.
I was just asking a question about where you got information that the pills found in the search warrant were definitely hers. I looked up the search warrant and it had pills listed with the other things recovered belonging to her and the occupants of the house, but the pills were not identified as being hers or theirs. If their was a report stating otherwise, I haven't seen it but there is no need to get smart with me because I asked a question.
I haven't heard that any photographs show her being given a drink.
I concur with what you've said about DNA. Also, the mantra that 80% of rape cases in this country are tried without DNA doesn't ring true. Also, many women go home and shower and change clothes and wait several days.
This woman went from the party to a car to the hospital.
What I'd like to know is who is going to restore the reputation of these guys if they are found to be innocent (as it seems they might be due to conflicting stories, lack of evidence and credibility issues concerning the accuser)
Huh? What words are messed up?
The father admits there's no DNA.

GRACE: You said that the night the DNA results came out, she cried all night.
TRAVIS: She said she cried all night long. She couldn`t believe it.
GRACE: What is she saying about the fact there was no DNA?
TRAVIS: Well, she felt like they thought that she was lying. And she just couldn`t take it.
The IRS did it to me yesterday.

The timing of that comment spot on! This thread needed that.......... LOL
I agree; this is a travesty for those families.
Also, the defense attorneys tried to show the DA the photographic evidence and he refused to look at it.
Sounds just like a liberal doesn't it? Doesn't want the facts to get in the way of his opinion.
