Title: I love our legal system

From the article:

QuoteCourt documents filed in the case have said a medical examination of the accuser showed signs consistent with sexual assault. DNA samples from the players failed to match material collected by investigators, defense attorneys hired by some of the players said last week.

The defense lawyers also said photos taken at the party show the woman was injured before she arrived.

So, you're a complete lying scumbag, you're probably a racist for doing this (accusing all the whites but NOT the black player?), you have NO evidence whatsoever, but you can somehow land them in jail?

hmm, I thought that they hadn't found any DNA at the crime scene, that's why they couldn't match any DNA.

Also, wasn't there an email/voicemail thing that talked about them doing stuff that seemed suspicious.

....hm, I wonder if there was ANY DNA evidence at all...I seem to recall hearing that on TV
Quote"There is no DNA evidence that shows she was touched by any of these boys," said Attorney Joe Cheshire, who represents one of the team's captains.

She had no DNA evidence on her. How could she have no DNA evidence on her if she got raped?

Depends no the situation.  If he wore a condom and she didn't scratch him with her nails there wouldn't be any.

The way I understand it, though, is that there *was* DNA evidence (suggesting there was no condom used).  I could be misunderstanding though.

I heard there was no DNA evidence.

And how the hell do you manage to slip a condom on in the midst of raping a stripper?

And why the hell would she not scratch if she was being raped?

What I heard was that there was the DNA evidence did not implicate the two who were charged.

They won't be convicted due to lack of DNA evidence I wager.

However, to get an indictment the defense attorney doesn't speak so all hearsay testimony, circumstantial evidence, etc. is permitted. That's how they got the indictment.

One of the players posted $400,000 bond within two hours.

They've proven that it couldn't have been a 30-minute rape (she was smiling before and after the time she stated, 8 minutes difference, and nobody similes after a rape). I *think* the guys have been let off, now.

EDIT -
Methinks Troost did it.
