I think it came down to 'he said, she said', and her arguments were not compelling enough. Especially after she waited 2 years after the incident to file charges. That hurt her case a lot. Reply |

I have no problem with "reasonable doubt" in this one. Wouldn't matter if he was a goofy or a clop. Reply |

I'm impressed if you have read the transcript of a multiple day trial already. I'm even more impressed the court reporter managed to get it all done - must not have had any sleep the last couple days.
There is A LOT that goes on in any trial that NEVER makes the paper.

I think Illini summed it up pretty well. I wonder if this case would even have gone to a jury if the participants had just been students or teachers, and not "prominent" athletes. My understanding is (without physical evidence) these are notoriously difficult cases to prosecute. Reply |
