What if the basketball player is willing to perjure himself? This could also be a last ditch trap. They would be able to call defense witnesses and make life miserable for a lot of people. How about them putting Bristol on the stand and ripping her life apart like they do a rape victim?
Possibly, and that is one of my concerns. But the high risk of ultimately losing, and the scope of what will be lost, should put enormous pressure on defendants to settle. Law as vengance is a fool's game. She needs an elegant way to win this without getting bogged down by it. Else, even if she wins, she may still lose.

How did that work out for Roger Clemens? Roger hasn't been convicted, but he is spending a bundle on his lawyer.
