Unmentioned in the AJC account is the national media attention (and empathy) given the woman. CNN did a lengthy interview with her and the CNN desk hostess made it clear she was affected by the story and victimization of the woman.
Macon Telegraph account.
Earlier story (accusations of giving false info).

The mantra of the feminists has been "Women never lie about rape and abuse!"

Yep. The immediate presumption, accusation, (and conclusion, it seems) is that a the man is a fiend.
It reminds me a bit of the child molestation hysteria of the mid-80s.

When I saw the picture, I thought it was a "Lord of The Rings" thread.
To: Risky Schemer
Gafnea said the most prosecutable charge in the case is probably the one against Pate. She was charged with giving false information about her identity. She originally told deputies her name was Katina Shaddix and that she was 24.When a man is imprisoned because of a false accusation by a woman, the woman cannot be prosecuted, because it might deter women from making false accusations in the future. However, lying to the state is no joking matter.

I'm glad the truth came out and Jones is going to get off, but when he gets home his buddies should beat the $%!t out of him after seeing that pic!

Being single is the only way to be sure one will sleep in his own bed tonight...
and the only way to be sure one will NOT be in the county jail, charged (however falsely) with domestic abuse.

So the woman is kidnapped but the kidnapper let's her touch up her roots? I don't think so. Case closed.
To: Hillary's Lovely Legs
LOL! No roots and she had the nerve to tell deputies she's 24! Wow.

The mantra of the feminists has been "Women never lie about rape and abuse!"Except Juanita Broaddrick, Paula Jones, Gennifer Flowers, etc. When it is against a pro-baby murdering Democrat, they have to "hear all the facts of the case" before doing nothing.
To: Risky Schemer
What would a guy see in a woman like this in the first place though?

Imagine that. The old "innocent until proven guilty" thing once again doesn't seem like such a bad idea.

That's not the way I hear it ;-)
To: BigWaveBetty
She told deputies she was 24?! Oh the nerve! Yikes, what a creature.
To: SalukiLawyer
Uh, oh. My mistake. I should have added the dependent clause "IF HE SO CHOOSES."

"defense attorney Ralph Jackson said... 'Without truthfulness, our justice system would be corrupted.'"
Somebody please tell this unfortunately attorney that he is living in the past.
To: Risky Schemer
I love the "CNN desk hostess"
