STEUBENVILLE - Jefferson County Prosecutor Jane Hanlin and her family had to leave town during the juvenile rape trial because of threats made against both her and her family.
Sunday evening, Hanlin confirmed that threats had been made, and she found them to be credible. Hanlin said there were instances of threats before, but the number of threats of a specific nature grew.
"As the trial date grew closer, we received a number of them that seemed to be more credible than others," Hanlin said.
When you post your proof, I’ll post mine. In the meantime, everyone here knows you’ve been saying truly moronic stuff and anyone can follow your idiotic posts you’ve made through the link I gave.
What does getting into a physical altercation with your friend so you can party-hop with your "rapists" get you?
There are a few men on this thread that are obviously real gentlemen that take care of weaker beings. Then their are a few Neanderthals that think anytime a woman is incapacitated she’s “asking for it” and feel it’s their right for a man to dip their wick into any orifice available.
Can you believe the ridiculousness of that answer? This guy has been spouting off idiocy for days now on multiple threads, claiming the girl was as guilty as the guys, and in spite of the GUILTY VERDICT in the trial, still saying this is an example of press misconduct like in the Zimmerman case, continually saying the same clueless garbage.
He should become a CNN commentator.......
The girl's family can charge, but it would be strictly a civil matter with no criminal penalties.
Lighten up, Francis. I never watched that show. And try switching to decaf...
Objection. Irrelevant. Sustained.
If this would have happened in Iran, the girl would be stoned to death for sex outside of marriage. Some of these guys on this thread would be on the front row. That said, I’m wondering if the people blaming the girl have any personal experience in this type of situation. I’m betting they do.
Fair enough.
You've been framing this from the very beginning that it wasn't really so bad, not really rape, just consent from 16 year old girl who was just as bad, or just as wrong as the boys; or alternatively journalism exactly like the Zimmerman case.
Post 181 of this thread.
Your turn.
I’m at a loss for words when I see the virulent stupidity of at least one of the posters here.......
I read some of this stuff and know exactly why I don’t trust anyone.
What you posted to me in #181 has nothing to do with information, links, or statements that show what you've been saying is true.
I'm guessing you must drink heavily.......or maybe you really are simply a total moron. Yep, I'm going with moron......
Of course it is...when the court is staffed with kangaroos.
I suppose it's also irrelevant that a W VA judge blocked the defense's subpoena of two witnesses and the accuser, yet the two witnesses turned up to testify for them anyway?
Be of good cheer, very few are as crass or idiotic as the poster that’s stirring the pot.
West Virginia doesn’t have jurisdiction.
“I see no reason to treat drunken adolescent hyperbole as anything but that.”
I guess sociopaths are not capable of recognizing sociopathic behavior.
Whoops, you’re right. 181 was mine. I was actually quoting 184. Now you can show me yours.
Guess all that heavy drinking can lead to grievous mistakes like missing it by three posts.
Wanna bet you come up with another evasion even though I’ve fulfilled your requirement for posting the quote that substantiates your accusation?
So her parents brought the charges. BIG DEAL.
Kids commit suicide before getting adults involved to stop bullying behavior. It’s the nature of being young.
So, it’s no surprise at all that she didn’t want to bring charges. However, if you read the text messages, you can certainly come to the conclusion that she was seeking the truth about what happened to her on the night in question. She couldn’t remember because she was so intoxicated and/or drugged.
Which brings me to this, again: SHE COULD NOT GIVE CONSENT! Hence, it was rape.
They had every right to face their accusers in court.
They did.
They lost.
Then how did they block the subpoena, as reported in the Cleveland Plain-Dealer?
