Somebody was stretching the truth somewhere.

Oh yea you mean the prosecutions desperate last minute attempt to say the other mans seamen in her panies could have come from a lab tech and not from her. Talk about reaching.
These are the kind of things that bother me. In this country we tend to always presume guilt when woman when she says she was raped irrgardless of the likelyhood or their backgrounds. We don't do this with other crimes nearly as much. Even the legal consultant Mickey Sherman for CBS news said "And the public has, I think, shifted. I think everybody, all of us thought these kids must be guilty. But now, with the shift, the DNA, this picture, and everything else, I think the sentiment in the local community as well has probably shifted for the players."
Why would we think they must have done it? 30 + college students with most likely awesome backgrounds all telling the same story and stripper that rips off clients cars and tries to run down people. :hmmm: I have already posted many links that show that most rape allegations are faulse. There are also many incentives for her to say it happened. You think the media will ever report that? Hell the fallout from this was so bad the real victims in this case had to move out of the house because of the massive protest outside before any of the facts had even come in. The season was ended and the coach had to resign before any of the facts came in which is a huge presumption of guilt. Her name was protected and continues to be even though their names were released.
I just think we have become WAY too PC when dealing with this subject. It just gets to a point where it's beyond ridiculous.
I still believe the president of Duke should be fired for his knee jerk reaction to this situation. He believed and reacted to what one stripper with a criminal record said over all 36 of his own students and didn't even wait for the facts to come out.
